The Pink Lat Pack - New Standards for Safe, Effective, and Efficient Lateral Positioning
Safety Maximized: Increase patient safety with Pink Lat Packs; featuring breathable, moisture-wicking materials that immerse and envelope areas prone to pressure injury.
Reduce HAPI Risk
- Innovative, supportive materials offer protection against HAPIs, regardless of weight or BMI. Pink Lat Packs adapt to provide secure positioning for every patient.
- Independent studies prove that the Pink Pad reduces erythema compared to other positioning solutions.3
Optimize Efficiency
- Setup time: less than 1 minute
- In clinical trials, an average of 15-20 minutes of OR time was saved during initial patient positioning
- Faster, easier, safer repositioning of patients whenever necessary
Improve Infection Control
Single-use designs improve workflow and, most importantly, eliminate cross-contamination and Hospital-Acquired Infection (HAI) risks. By removing the need for custom assembly, patient-safety best practices can be standardized, while infection control risks (i.e. taping) can be avoided.
Surgical site infections account for nearly 22% of the more than 700,000 HAIs that occur annually in the United States.4
In a study of 15 subjects ranging from 16-54 BMI (average BMI 35.5), the Pink Pad provided an average peak pressure reduction of 43%.
US Government Data2 show Hospital Acquired Pressure Injuries (HAPIs):
- Are the direct cause of death for roughly 60,000 patients each year
- Add an estimated $43,180 in costs per hospital stay
- Result in more than 17,000 medical lawsuits, annually (the second most common claim after wrongful death)
- Increase hospital stays by nine days on average
