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.

How can slower hygiene routines make your job safer and faster?

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.

Dementia care solutions | Arjo Dementia care solutions. Enable carers to deliver one-to-one care with less time focused on task- based necessities and more time for quality interactions. Our dementia care solutions are designed to support smooth care routines, maintain and improve mobility, and promote a calm environment.

Maxi Air is an air-assisted single patient use system that provides an effective solution for reducing the physical effort and injury risk associated with performing lateral transfers.

Designed for high acuity patients with limited mobility and compromised skin integrity, the Auralis™ alternating pressure mattress system assists you in managing your patient’s needs to minimize the risk and burden of pressure injury.

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.

A growing body of evidence supports the effectiveness of early mobilization. When utilized, early mobility is associated with reduced ICU and hospital length of stay and improved functional outcomes.

Healthcare settings face the challenge of managing an effective Infection Control protocol on a daily basis. Ensuring the safety of patients and staff at all times, in a range of different settings requires a robust process, where care and treatment can be delivered without the risk of infection due to poor hygiene standards.

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.

Transporting patients on hospital beds is an ergonomically high risk activity for caregivers. However, the use of powered assisted beds can have a positive impact on their work lives. Read an extract from 'A case for powered bed transport' whitepaper below

Pressure injuries: the lives lost, the financial costs and a pathway to prevention. In the US alone, 60,000 people die each year as a direct result of pressure injuries.

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.
