The TrenGuard™ Trendelenburg Patient Positioning System developed by D.A. Surgical remains the most clinically effective and time efficient Trendelenburg positioning system on the market. After a number of procedures performed using the System, there has not been a single report of a patient sliding, post-op discomfort or patient injury.
TrenGuard™ is the only system on the market with a rigid support frame that is fixed to the accessory table rails with table clamps. The frame cannot move and neither can the patient. TrenGuard™ Trendelenburg Patient Positioning System does not use shoulder braces.
The surface of the frame is covered with industrial strength hook fastener. Attached to the frame are four adjustable patient support pads that anchor the patient to the table.
TrenGuard is so easy and intuitive to use that the staff becomes expert with the process after only one or two procedures.
Set up < 30 seconds Positioning < 2.5 minutes Turnover < 90 seconds [/tab] [tab icon="arrow-right1" title="Positioning for Robotic Surgery "] One of the most important discussions surrounding patient positioning today revolves around the area of robotic assisted laparoscopy. The unique technology used by the surgical robot creates unintended consequences in regard to patient positioning.
- It has become obvious that any sliding at all during robotic surgery creates added patient risk of injury and unnecessary postoperative pain. This risk occurs because the robots are not programmed to change the location of the robotic arm, instruments and trocars to compensate for patient sliding.
- Fixed trocars ultimately result in what has been called “meat hook” restraint technology. When patients slide even “just a little bit” while in trendelenburg position it is the trocars that end up restraining the patient on the table.
In his paper, “Robotics in Practice: New angles on safer positioning,” Dr. Ghomi directly addresses this issue stating:
— “Patient slippage during the use of fixed robotic trocars creates a serious potential for patient risk as it can cause incisional tear, post- operative hernia formation, and increased postoperative pain secondary to over-stretching of the anterior abdominal wall.” —
If the restraint technology does not anchor the patient in place the patient can slide. Restraints known to allow patients to slide should not be used for robotic procedures.
