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.

Rehabilitation through early mobilization after surgery – your guide to helping people recover faster Using assistive patient handling solutions is an efficient way to help regain or maintain mobility – and we are here to support every step on the way. Our Rehabilitation guide helps to empower movement, while reducing the risk of caregiver injuries.

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

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.
