D. A. Surgical – a global provider of patient positioning devices used during surgery – was founded in 2013 by Dan Allen, best known as inventor the boot-style surgical stirrup and retired founder of Allen Medical Systems*. Committed to the safety of patients and staff in the operating room, D. A. Surgical develops and markets products that offer generational improvements to earlier technologies. For example, TrenGuard™ Trendelenburg Patient Restraint is recognized as the most effective and versatile NO SLIDE™ Trendelenburg restraint system on the market. It remains the only Trendelenburg restraint system that is fully compatible with under-patient devices. It is also the only device technology that allows air-assisted lateral transfer devices to be used even in extreme Trendelenburg. “It’s all about the bump™” aptly describes the primary restraint technology behind TrenGuard™. The technology does not employ shoulder braces nor does it employ a chest strap. The device accommodates patients of all sizes from infants to high-BMI, bariatric adults. TrenGuard™ provides a safe, secure patient restraint in Trendelenburg positions as extreme as 40-degrees. The technology is in use worldwide and there have not been anecdotal or published reports of a patient sliding, patient injury or post-operative discomfort. D. A. Surgical also offers other unique positioning devices. ArmGuard™ Patient Arm Protector eliminates arm tucking, provides instant access to ports and lines and plays a role in keeping patients safer when the table is tilted laterally. FaceGuard™ Face Shield is a table mounted instrument tray available with applications in full supine or Trendelenburg postures. ShroudGuard™ was designed to effectively protect OR Table pedestal cladding from accessories and SED devices left on the table base.
