What Xodus Medical does

Xodus Medical Inc. is a privately held U.S. medical device manufacturer founded in 1993 and headquartered in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The company designs, develops, and sells patient positioning and perioperative safety products used primarily in hospital operating rooms and surgical centers. Its flagship offering, the Pink Pad® family — including the standard, Biodegradable, and Air-Assist variants — addresses Hospital-Acquired Pressure Injuries (HAPIs), patient sliding in steep Trendelenburg positioning, and nerve injuries during robotic, bariatric, urological, gynecological, and orthopedic procedures. Complementary product lines include the Pink Lat Pack™, Pink Reverse-T Kit™, Surgical BackPacks™, Pink Hip Kit® (postless hip distraction), PinkProtect™ OR Kits and ICU Solutions, the See Sharp® intraoperative laparoscope cleaning device, and the FDA 510(k)-cleared Hot Pink Pad® combining active warming with positioning. The portfolio is protected by 12+ granted U.S. patents and registered trademarks on the Pink Pad, PinkProtect, and Hot Pink Pad brands.

The company's underlying technology rests on proprietary PinkPad and PinkProtect materials characterized as immersive, enveloping, breathable, and moisture-wicking — engineered to redistribute pressure and maintain secure positioning even in high-BMI patients (documented use at BMI 46 / 324 lb). Clinical evidence includes peer-reviewed studies published in the American Urological Association journal, Journal of Gynecologic Surgery, and Journal of Minimally Invasive Gynecology documenting significant reductions in HAPIs, rhabdomyolysis, postoperative erythema, and pain. Xodus Medical reports a 43% average peak pressure reduction versus standard OR surfaces and setup times under one minute.

Xodus Medical sells through a direct enterprise field sales motion targeting hospital procurement and perioperative decision-makers, with no public pricing. Products are configured for compatibility with major surgical table platforms (Smith & Nephew, Arthrex, Maquet, Hana, Nuovo BN II) via OEM arrangements, and the company supports global distribution with Instructions for Use in 12 languages. Revenue is generated through hardware sales of single-use positioning consumables and pre-configured procedure kits. Marketing is anchored on Continuing Education programs for clinical teams, peer-reviewed publication sponsorships, and AORN guideline alignment. The company appears to be founder/operator-owned with no disclosed venture or private equity funding.
