Description

Arrow^® T-POD^™ Pelvic Stabilization Device from Teleflex provides circumferential compression to the pelvis in patients with suspected pelvic fracture for pelvic stabilization, which may reduce blood loss and pain.

Pelvic ring injury is associated with a significant risk of mortality (28-50%) and requires urgent management.¹ Clinical evidence indicates that pelvic stabilization devices like the Arrow^® T-POD^™ Device can improve pelvic fracture outcomes¹. When seconds count, immediate application of a correctly applied pelvic binder in hemodynamically unstable patients can be lifesaving.¹

The T-POD Responder Pelvic Stabilization Device by Teleflex is a specialized tool designed for the immediate stabilization of suspected pelvic fractures in emergency situations. Pelvic ring injuries are associated with a significant risk of mortality, and timely intervention is crucial. The T-POD Responder offers a rapid and effective solution to mitigate these risks.

Key Features:

Circumferential Compression: Applies uniform pressure around the pelvic region to stabilize the pelvic ring, which may reduce blood loss and alleviate pain.
Adjustable Pulley System: Features a unique pulley mechanism that allows for precise control over compression, ensuring optimal stabilization.
Single-Responder Application: Designed for quick application by a single EMS professional, facilitating rapid deployment in critical situations.
Compact and Lightweight: The device's design is both compact and lightweight, making it easy to carry and store, which is particularly beneficial for first responders.
MRI, X-Ray, and CT Compatible: Constructed without metallic parts, the device can remain in place during imaging procedures, allowing for continued monitoring and assessment.
Single-Use Design: Each device is intended for single use, ensuring sterility and reducing the risk of cross-contamination.

Clinical Benefits:

Reduced Pubic Bone Separation: Studies have shown that the T-POD Responder can reduce pubic bone separation by up to 60%, enhancing pelvic stability.
Improved Hemodynamic Stability: Application of the device has been associated with increased mean arterial pressure and decreased heart rate, indicating improved circulatory status in patients with unstable pelvic fractures.
Potential Reduction in Transfusion Requirements: By effectively controlling hemorrhage, the device may decrease the need for blood transfusions in trauma patients.
Shorter Hospital Stays: Early stabilization with the T-POD Responder has been linked to reduced lengths of hospital stays, facilitating quicker recovery and resource optimization.

Indications for Use:

The T-POD Responder Pelvic Stabilization Device is indicated for patients with suspected pelvic fractures, particularly those exhibiting signs of hemodynamic instability. It is suitable for use in various settings, including pre-hospital environments, emergency departments, and trauma centers.
