HAPI Prevention

Hospital-Acquired Pressure Injury risks are magnified during surgery when anesthetized patients cannot feel pain or voluntarily adjust their position.

Xodus Medical listens to patient advocates. Our solutions are carefully designed to help perioperative leaders comply with up-to-date AORN Patient Positioning Guidelines and also prevent CMS Never Events related to HAPI formation.

By developing products that are unique, both in terms of design and material quality, Xodus Medical has become a trusted resource for clinicians seeking to enhance their HAPI prevention initiatives. Our positioning solutions offer unmatched levels of softness, breathability, moisture management, immersiveness, and envelopment characteristics.

HAPI Statistics

Procedures lasting longer than 2.5 — 3 hours are significantly more likely to cause skin and underlying tissue damage²
In addition to patient safety risks, HAPI formation burdens hospitals with treatment costs, ranging from $5,000 to $90,000 per incident²
