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.

Frequent Trendelenburg Procedures
• Hysterectomy – laparoscopic and robotic– Surgical removal of the uterus
• Prostatectomy – laparoscopic and robotic– Removal of all (radical) or part (simple) of the prostate
due to cancer or hypertrophy
• Colectomy – laparoscopic and robotic– Surgical resection of any part of the large intestine
(colon)
• Laparoscopic abdominal, pelvic surgeries– General surgeries on the abdomen and pelvis

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.”
