Troop Elevation System | Reusable

Traditionally, the ramped position has been achieved with an assortment of blankets stacked behind the patient. For today’s obese patients, blankets simply are not enough. Blankets become unstable and can shift position during intubation and throughout the case. The reusable BoneFoam Troop Airway Management Elevation System offers a simple and predictable result for positioning obese patients. It improves the ease of breathing for the obese patient, which leads to better pre-oxygenation levels, facilitates intubation during surgery, and supports the patient’s respiratory mechanics.

Support obese patients with
Troop Airway Management Elevation System.

1. A standardized approach that provides a stable platform for the head, neck, and arms.

2. Reliable and consistent solution to ramp the patient and provides better respiratory mechanics

3. Achieves the head-elevated laryngoscopy position (HELP) or ramped position for obese patients

For intubation and post-operative support, it is important to elevate the patient’s upper body, head, and neck until the patient’s external auditory meatus lies in the same horizontal plane as the sternal notch. With the head and neck elevated above the chest and abdomen, the airway is easier to work with. Further, the weight of the abdomen is falling away from the diaphragm and less positive airway pressure is required.

Achieves the head-elevated laryngoscopy position (HELP) for obese patients.

Recognizing the need to quickly and efficiently achieve the head elevated laryngoscopy position (H.E.L.P.) or ramped position for obese patients, Dr. Troop, a practicing anesthesiologist, created a standardized approach that provides a stable platform for the head and neck and includes arm elevation to ensure overall body alignment.

The Troop Elevation Pillow is featured in anesthesia textbooks as well as numerous national and international publications. Watch to see how the Troop Elevation Pillow helps align the upper airway axes and facilitates successful first pass intubation.

Protection and longevity.

Single-use barrier covers provide an even softer, gentler feel for patient comfort. They also improve efficiency of post-use disinfecting and cleaning for staff, while prolonging the life of the product.

Premium quality coating makes all the difference.

Seamless, fluid-proof coating for superior infection control and easy cleaning
Durable dual-layer coating resists wear better than thin single-coat options
Radiolucent design remains free of indistinguishable imaging artifacts
Non-gel construction avoids risks of sticking or oozing onto skin
