Xodus Medical has launched the Hot Pink Pad, a next-generation patient temperature management and positioning system designed to improve surgical outcomes, enhance patient safety and streamline operating room workflows. The Hot Pink Pad addresses two of the most critical perioperative risks – inadvertent perioperative hypothermia (IPH) and hospital-acquired pressure injuries (HAPIs) – by combining unique underbody warming technology with clinically proven Pink Pad patient positioning in a single, integrated solution. Powered by advanced carbon-based conductive warming technology, the patented system delivers precise, evenly distributed warmth directly beneath the patient without circulating air or disrupting the sterile field. Its intelligent normothermia software continuously monitors and adjusts warming output to help maintain patients’ target temperature ranges – improving consistency without increasing staff workload.
In addition to temperature control, the system incorporates industry-leading positioning capabilities that reduce pressure injury risk, prevent patient movement – even in steep Trendelenburg – and eliminate cross-contamination concerns through a single-use design. Clinical studies have demonstrated significant reductions in surgery-related pressure injuries and improved patient outcomes using Pink Pad technology. Designed for efficiency in the operating room, the Hot Pink Pad features rapid, one-person setup, eliminates the need for multiple warming devices, and offers silent operation with intuitive, glove-friendly controls. Its flexible, radiolucent design supports a wide range of procedures, including robotic, laparoscopic and cardiovascular surgeries.
The Hot Pink Pad is available nationwide.
