Reduced mobility is a significant risk factor for pressure injury development, international guidelines emphasise the need for regular turning and repositioning of patients to help prevent skin damage¹. While a pressure redistribution mattress may enable the repositioning regimen to be individualised, regular postural change is still important but not without risk to the patient or caregiver.

Arjo slide tubes are designed to help caregivers carry out in-bed repositioning and transfers with less of the physical stress and strain associated with manual handling.

Patient transfer tasks occur across multiple healthcare settings and are often high risk activities for both caregivers and patients. Risk of patient and staff injury has led to the development of global Safe Patient Handling programmes.

The Orlando™ Riser Recliner has full pressure care materials throughout the sitting surface, adjustable posture supports and a stand assist riser function.
