The International Pressure Ulcer Prevention and Management Guidelines discuss how managing microclimate can provide an environment conducive to injury prevention and tissue repair. As such the guidelines recommend the need for additional features such as the ability to control moisture and temperature when selecting a support surface.

Pressure injuries (PIs) are one of the largest unsolved healthcare challenges today and International pressure injury prevalence rates are estimated to be between 3-32% in Long Term Care facilities.

Ceiling lifts provide a multitude of benefits to the healthcare facility as a safe patient handling solution. Take a look at several examples supported by clinical documentation.

With a holistic focus on mind and body, occupational therapy and safe patient handling (SPH) complement each other because of the importance that mobility plays on improving one’s overall quality of life.

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.

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

Incorporating sensory features into the daily routines of individuals living with dementia can significantly enhance their well-being, especially during potentially stressful situations. For those with dementia, the progression of the disease can often disrupt the normal sensory processing and the ability to make sense of the environment, leading to confusion, anxiety, and a decreased ability to manage daily tasks independently.

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.

A pressure injury seriously affects quality of life. As clinicians, increasing awareness of pressure injury prevention and education are important to help ensure healthier outcomes for those in our lives and under our care.

Air-assisted lateral transfer devices such as AirPal are designed to assist with the transfer of patients who are unable to independently move from one surface to another and reposition within the bed.

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.

The significance of early mobility in the rehabilitation of war veterans cannot be overstated. In fact, muscle wasting occurs early and rapidly during the first week of critical illness, with losses of up to 20% seen for those in multi organ failure.

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.

If you're familiar with the phrase "person-centered care," you'll know it's something of an industry buzzword. But let's get past the jargon and really dig into what it means to offer not just individualized but truly transformative care for people living with dementia.

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

In the world of medical miracles, the story of Matt Rogers stands out as a beacon of hope and a testament to the power of modern medicine combined with the human spirit.

A 98% decrease in workers’ compensation costs and an 82% decrease in patient handling-related injuries helped AnMed Health earn nearly $2.6 million in total annual savings.
