What peers are saying

“As a colorectal surgeon, I use deep Trendelenburg position for pelvic surgeries, such as low anterior resection. For heavy patients in long cases, I have used all available methods and adjuncts to safely position patients, but I have not been satisfied. Position related injury such as brachial plexus injury, even though rare, is a devastating complication. Since I have found TrenGuard and ArmGuard, I have relied on the combined effectiveness of TrenGuard and Rail-Mounted ArmGuard for cases involving morbidly obese patients requiring deep Trendelenburg positioning. ArmGuard has proven useful for supine positioning as well, allowing the surgical team to avoid undo pressure on arms caused by tucking. I recommend investigating these products for your practice.
