trendelenburg positioning

Hospital Direct’s Disposable Paper Covers protect the GUS Slide during surgery that requires lithotomy and Trendelenburg positioning.

Caregivers can place these waterproof, patient-specific paper covers over a GUS (Gynecology and Urology) Slide to reduce laundering and increase patient throughput. This can be especially handy when it comes to surgical procedures that require lithotomy and Trendelenburg positioning. The non-woven paper covers ensure complete coverage of the GUS Slide, protecting against biological matter.

Once the caregiver has spread the paper cover over the GUS Slide, they can position their patient ready for head-down procedures. The GUS allows practitioners to position a patient’s head downwards by up to 25 degrees and lock them comfortably in place so they don’t slip. Practitioners can also unlock, reposition and re-lock patients during surgery. Plus, the GUS can offer further patient support during the recovery phase.

We supply the Disposable Paper Covers in boxes of 50 and manufacture these in our Shropshire premises, where we ensure the utmost quality.
