lithotomy / Head Down position / GYNECOLOGY / trendelenburg

Easily position patients in the lithotomy position using the unique, disposable GUS Slide.

The disposable GUS Slide is a simple slide sheet that allows health professionals to easily move patients into the lithotomy position, ready for surgery. The disposable GUS slide is ideal for head-down procedures where the patient is positioned at an incline of up to 25 degrees. Those who work in Gynaecology will find the disposable GUS slide hugely beneficial as it allows medical practitioners to:

• Slide a patient into a precise position (fine adjustments achievable), usually the Trendelenburg position
• Lock patient position with the sheet’s unique and integral locking panels
• Position patients at inclines up to 25 degrees, facing head-down
• Adjust patient position mid-surgery
• Slide patients back up the operating table post-surgery

To use the GUS Slide, place the disposable GUS under the patient, slide them into position, lock the product and tilt. After surgery, when you need to slide the patient back, simply reverse the process. You can also use the GUS slide in Recovery.

Hospital Direct recommends using the GUS slide with Disposable Slippy Sleeves and Mitts.

The GUS slides are designed for single-patient use. Practitioners should dispose of each cover after each patient use. Alternatively, Hospital Direct also stocks washable GUS Slides for multi-use.
