Trendelenburg
Tren·de·len·burg position (trndl-n-bûrg)
n.
Etymology: Friedrich Trendelenburg
a position in which the head is low and the body and legs are on
an inclined plane. It is sometimes used in pelvic surgery to
displace the abdominal organs upward, out of the pelvis, or to
increase the blood flow to the brain in hypotension and shock.

The proprietary design
combines a uniquely
contoured surface
geometry to resist sliding
and a patient-conforming
viscoelastic gel covered
surface to redistribute
surface pressure.

• The TPS Foundation follows the curve of the back
over the patient’s scapula:
– This helps to distribute the pressure from body weight
over a larger area on both sides and prevents high focal
pressures over the shoulders.
• The TPS Foundation covers all the way from tip of
scapula to the acromion process but not the
acromioclavicular joint
– Helps to prevent pressure transduction to the joint and
subsequent compression of the nerve tracts traveling
under it.

Engineered to Minimize
Patient Slipping and
Maximize Pressure
Redistribution
The SecureFit TPS Gel Pad minimizes
patient slipping as the unique gel
configuration creates a natural cradle
with the curve of the patient’s
scapula.

Simple Design & Set Up
Makes Trendelenburg
Positioning Easier
The SecureFit TPS can be set up in a
minute and allows for easy, open
access to the patients arms. IV lines
can be kept out of the way by passing
them through the opening between
the arm pad and the TPS Gel Pad.

“Once the patient is secured in the device there is
no slippage or shift in position during surgery. It
has reduced our prep time by 15-30 minutes in
most daVinci® robot assisted procedures in steep
Trendelenburg position.”
