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

Sara Flex enables a single caregiver to assist a patient or resident from a seated to a standing position, in one natural movement.

Walker provides the support for taking that first step – for both patient or resident and physiotherapist.

is fundamental to any patient rehabilitation programme and is a core principle in the prevention of pressure injury development. With the impact of the current pandemic, the focus on mobilising and rehabilitating patients earlier and often throughout

According to a 2016 report by the WHO, globally there are 650 million people that are obese accounting for approx. 13% of the world’s adult population.

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

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

clinical evidence supporting that early patient mobility as part of an Intensive Care Unit (ICU) rehabilitation program help counter the effects of ICU acquired weakness, which in turn improves the patient recovery process and long-term functional

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.
