Peninsula Village, a leading aged care facility in New South Wales, has recently implemented an innovative technology called Provizio SEM Scanner to prevent pressure injuries in their residents.

The International Pressure Ulcer Prevention and Management Guidelines discuss how managing microclimate can provide an environment conducive to injury prevention and tissue repair. As such the guidelines recommend the need for additional features such as the ability to control moisture and temperature when selecting a support surface.

In a remarkable breakthrough, Hornsby's Intensive Care Unit (ICU) in Australia is leading the way by introducing an innovative scanning device, the Provizio® SEM scanner.

Part 1 – Quality care starts with meticulous planning and decision-making Learn how meticulous planning and decision-making help you to combine excellent care for your patients with improved nursing safety and performance.

Promoting mobility among patients and residents in care facilities is critical for healthy daily lives.

Part 4 – Elevate assisted bathing to a spa experience with these planning aids Assisted bathing can be elevated to a relaxing and rejuvenating spa moment. Find out how planning aids help you to improve the bathing experience.

Standing and raising aids, also known as sit-to-stand devices/lifts, are used by caregivers to transfer patients or residents between two seated postures, for example, seated on the edge of the bed to a wheelchair, or wheelchair to commode or shower chair.

When designing a care environment, people – in this case residents in long-term care settings and patients in acute care settings, as well as the caregivers – should be at the centre of the entire process. This focus is essential to achieve an attractive and efficient environment that stands the test of time.

There are different types of power assisted transport technologies used with hospital beds that help caregivers reduce effort in transporting patients throughout the facility.

AirPal Air Assisted Transfer in action With the AirPal® air-assisted patient transfer system, you can transfer patients from one surface to another and reposition within the bed safely, comfortably and efficiently.

Air-assisted lateral transfer devices such as AirPal are designed to assist with the transfer of patients who are unable to independently move from one surface to another and reposition within the bed.

Pressure Injury Prevention during the pandemic: Prone Positioning Pressure Injury Prevention during the pandemic: Prone Positioning Preventing pressure injury while prone positioning patients. Prone position for prolonged periods of time places the patients at significant risk of complications including pressure injury. To mitigate this risk, selecting the right support surfaces to support pressure redistribution and targeted pressure offloading is key. Pressure injuries are
