For surgical services leaders
Positioning is the cost nobody in surgical services has added up.
SafeTuck positions the patient and secures the arms and legs with one staff member and far less disposable padding. Try it on one of your OR tables for thirty days before it ever reaches value analysis.
- 1
- staff member to position and secure the patient
- 1–2 min
- to secure the patient, at its fastest. A sheet tuck can take up to 10
- $6–14
- a case in disposables, cut to the occasional foam pad

The positioning cost worksheet
Four costs, every case: disposables, waste, minutes, and risk.
Most facilities only see the first one, because it's the only one on an invoice. Move the sliders to your department and see what the other lines add up to.
4,500 cases a year
- Positioning disposables
- $27,000 – $63,000
- Padding, sheets, velcro at $6–14 a case
- Staff time spent positioning
- 1,125 hours
- About 15 employee-minutes a case
- OR minutes at stake
- 9,000 – 45,000 min
- 2–10 minutes a case. Add your cost per minute to price it.
- Single-use material to the bin
- 9,000+ items
- At least two sets of padding per case

How SafeTuck works
It mounts on the bed rail and stays there.
01
One staff member
A sheet tuck can take two to four people and up to ten minutes. SafeTuck wraps and secures each limb with one, in as little as one to two minutes.
Arm secured on the rail
02
Line access, no re-tuck
When anesthesia needs the arm for an IV or an art line, it opens and goes right back. Nobody untucks a sheet with the surgeon waiting.
03
Far less to throw away
The padding is built in and the sleeve is reusable, so most of the disposable padding, sheets, and velcro straps stop going in the bin.

How new devices usually reach the OR
A brochure, an agenda item, and a committee asked to approve a device nobody in the building has used on a patient.
SafeTuck goes on your table first. Your team's experience goes to the committee.
The 30-day trial
Thirty days on one table. Then you decide.
01 / 03
It goes on your table.
We attach each SafeTuck device to the bed rail of one OR table and train your nurses, techs, and anesthesia team in person, on your schedule.
- Pick a room with 4+ cases a day, 4+ days a week
- Ideally more than one specialty
- Credentialing handled before we arrive
02 / 03
Thirty days of real cases.
Your team uses it on every applicable case. We stay reachable the whole time, and we come back if anything needs adjusting.
- 30-day no-charge medical device trial agreement
- Nothing to pay during the trial
- No penalty, no further obligation
03 / 03
Your team's survey goes to the committee.
Around day twenty, every participating staff member completes a short survey by QR code. We compile the results and hand them to you.
- QR, email, or printed survey
- Results compiled for value analysis
- Buy or lease if it earns its place

Before a trial
Three questions every OR asks first.
Each one is a short film from John, written to be forwarded to whoever signs off.
It should. SafeTuck goes on one of your OR tables first, for thirty days, in a busy room with four or more cases a day.
Around day twenty, every staff member who used it fills out a short survey. We compile the results and hand them to you, so you walk into the committee with your own team's feedback.
The trial runs on a 30-day no-charge medical device trial agreement, with no penalty and no further obligation.
After the trial
Buy it, lease it, or send it back.
