Recovery from a wound, whether a stage 1 pressure injury or a full thickness wound, requires an individualized approach. The acronym, APIE, frequently includes trial and error, and complex testing to the find the right solutions at the right time to heal a wound.

Arjo MOVE helped Mercy Health save over $2 million in the first year.

Mobility is life. When people move, they are able to engage with their environment. Playing ball with a child, cooking a meal with friends or simply walking down the street… all these types of activities help to create meaning in our lives.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention notes that obesity is a national epidemic affecting more than one in three adults, causing higher medical costs and a lower quality of life.

Early mobilization has been demonstrated to be both safe and feasible for patients admitted to critical care.

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.

Early mobilization of ICU patients has been associated with improved muscle strength and functional independence, as well as a shorter duration of delirium, mechanical ventilation, and ICU length of stay.

In the pursuit of optimizing the rehabilitation journey for our esteemed veterans, the Veterans Administration (VA) has developed the Mobility Screening and Solutions Tool. This tool aims to enhance early mobilization and improve the functional outcomes of veterans.

Intensive care unit (ICU) patients frequently have extreme derangement of physiological function.

Empowering movement 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 the day has never been higher.

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

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.

air-assisted patient transfer system, you can transfer patients from one surface to another and reposition within the bed safely, comfortably and efficiently.

We recently had the pleasure of interviewing Paula Atkins, the Chief Clinical Officer at Holy Angels, to discuss the transformative impact of our therapeutic seating solutions on their residents.
