Patient Safety. Your Safety. One Device.

Improving the surgical procedure for the patient before, during, and after surgery.



Background: Why is this important to you?

  1. Caregiver Injuries in the Operating Room are a Problem!

    1. Perioperative nursing is unique from other types of nursing, requiring lateral transfers, patient repositioning, holding extremities, etc.

    2. Several studies show injury rates around 50% in nurses - perioperative nurses specifically (1)

    3. According to OSHA, the average cost per patient handling injury is $15,000

    4. 8/10 Nurses work with musculoskeletal pain (2)

  2. Patient Positioning Challenges with Trendelenburg (Reverse Trendelenburg).

    1. Skin Injuries Shear, Pressure, Friction

    2. Nerve Injuries Ulnar, Sciatic, Femoral, Popliteal

    3. Musculoskeletal Injuries Hyperextension of the knee, hyperabduction of the hip
