What peers are saying
I have been a gynecologic surgeon for over 25 years and have seen many different devices for preventing slippage of patients in the operating room during laparoscopy. TrenGuard is the only system that not only prevents slippage of any patient, especially morbidly obese patients, in steep Trendelenburg, but none of my patients have experienced injuries from using TrenGuard. In the past, using other systems, there have been patients who experienced injury, like a brachial plexus injury.
