From risk assessment to ensuring the appropriate intervention, time is a crucial factor in pressure injury prevention.

IndiGo is always available and built directly into the bed, so only one thing changes in a caregiver’s day: the amount of work required to move the bed.

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.

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.

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.

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

An evaluation of 6 different sit to stand devices for use in rehabilitation shows an 'overwhelming preference' for the Sara® Flex knee support during a study in Loughborough University, UK.

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

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.
