Sticky Pad Holds Patients in Place
To position patients for Trendelenburg and reverse Trendelenburg
robotic bariatric surgery, a sticky pad may be a stronger, safer alter-
native than memory foam positioning pads, says Innovative Medical
Products, makers of the TrenMax system. TrenMax's key component
is IMP's proprietary Sticky Pad, which adheres directly to the patient's
torso and fastens to the OR table's side rails to prevent the patient
from moving or sliding. TrenMax has more than twice the coefficient
of friction as memory-foam positioners, says the company, so it's
capable of providing secure positioning for patients of almost any size
patient and at any angle. TrenMax also has an arm-strap system that
permits access to leads and IVs.
