Positioning Solutions for a Range of Surgical Procedures

The Pink Pad Air-Assist Provides Safe, Stable Support for Patients in Trendelenburg

Uterus and Kidneys

Gynecology & Urology


Gynecologic procedures such as laparoscopic and robotic hysterectomies, and urologic surgeries like robotic prostatectomy and cystectomy, use steep Trendelenburg positioning to improve pelvic access and visualization. Proper patient positioning maintains stability, eliminates unwanted movement, and protects skin throughout various surgical procedures.

Common Procedures:
  • Hysterectomy
  • Pelvic Tumor Removal
  • Prostatectomy
Lungs

Cardiovascular


Cardiovascular procedures in the supine position benefit from secure patient stabilization to maintain hemodynamic alignment and safe surgical access. Stable, pressure-relieving support while protecting tissue integrity throughout lengthy procedures.

Common Procedures:
  • Coronary Artery Bypass Graft
  • Carotid Endarterectomy
  • Mitral Valve Repair
Colon

Colorectal


Colorectal procedures, including robotic and laparoscopic resections, often require steep Trendelenburg positioning that optimizes exposure of the pelvic region while maintaining patient stability and skin protection.

Common Procedures:
  • Colectomy
  • Colon Resection
  • Colostomy Takedown
Stomach

Bariatric


Bariatric procedures often place patients in steep, reverse-Trendelenburg to improve access to the abdominal region. Safe, secure positioning helps maintain alignment, eliminate sliding, and protect tissue integrity for patients with higher BMI throughout a range of procedures.

Common Procedures:
  • Sleeve Gastrectomy
  • Roux-en-Y
  • Duodenal Switch

Clinical Feedback

The Pink Pad Air-Assist is the PERFECT solution for our patients and staff. Patients do not move on the Pink Pad until we want them to; at which point it’s very easy to reposition or transfer even our heaviest subjects. I’ll be using this product on all of my patients moving forward.
—  Matthew Davis, MD, Bariatric Surgery
Memphis, TN
The Pink Pad Air-Assist has helped us in a number of important ways: 1) much easier transfer/repositioning of our heavy patients, 2) eliminating the need to interrupt our busy staff to help transfer patients elsewhere in the OR, and 3) maybe most importantly, doing all of this while still providing the patient protection and Trendelenburg security that the Pink Pad is known for.

Simple, Safe Solutions that Help Achieve
AORN Guidelines & Recommendations

AORN Recommendations for Safe Patient Handling and Mobility3


  • “Select patient lift equipment that minimizes the physical forces required to move the patient. [Recommendation]” Section 4.3.1
  • “Use assistive technology if any team member is required to lift more than 35 lb (16 kg) of the patient’s weight. [Recommendation]” Section 5.2.1
  • “Use assistive technology specifically designed for the task to be performed (eg, lateral transfer) according to the manufacturer’s IFU. [Recommendation]” Section 5.2.2



“Moving patients can also contribute to injury. When moving patients, use assistive technologies to help prevent staff injuries and keep patients safe. These might include air-assisted transfer devices…”


- AORN 9/2023



Additionally, AORN Guidelines State:


  • “Use… …assistive technology (eg, air-assisted transfer device, mechanical lift) for lateral transfer of a patient if indicated. [Recommendation]” Section 5.4.1
  • “The number of manual lifting tasks should be minimized. [Recommendation]” Section 6.1.3
  • “The health care organization should provide the number of team members and assistive devices needed to safely move, position, or prep patients based on the algorithms in the AORN Ergonomic Tools (See Section 5). [Recommendation]” Section 2.3
  • “Identify methods to reduce the physical requirements of high-risk SPHM tasks (eg, positioning, transfers, static postures) in the perioperative environment. [Recommendation]” Section 2.3.2
  • “Identify and allocate funding to implement and sustain the SPHM program based on business-case and return-on-investment analytics. [Recommendation]” Section 2.6
  • “Based on the ergonomic analysis, select types of patient handling equipment (eg, air-assisted transfer mattresses, mechanical lift equipment) and accessories (eg, slings) for use in the perioperative area in collaboration with the health care organization’s product evaluation team, policies, and procedures. [Recommendation]” Section 4.3
