N E T • 1 4 1 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. impmedical.com
