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 below

Prone positioning to prevent pressure injuries | Arjo Prone positioning. For the most vulnerable patients. Turning and managing very sick patients face down for significant improvements. Find out more at Arjo.

During periods of hospitalisation, facilitating mobility helps people recover faster and regain their independence to help return to life outside the hospital.

With our prone positioning solutions, you can lower the risk of injury associated with prone positioning, without adding more caregivers, and with reduced physical effort needed to carry out safe and controlled manoeuvres.

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.

Efficiency meets high performance in Typhoon, a fully automatic flusher disinfector with user-friendly features that improve efficiency and infection control.

The time factor in pressure injury prevention Why “Lower for Longer” is the driving principle behind the performance of an Alternating Pressure surface. When assessing the performance of an active alternating surface, the aim is to achieve lower pressures, for longer times. In independent third party tests, AtmosAir Velaris demonstrated full pressure offloading at the sacral and heel areas for significantly longer times than the other tested surfaces.

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

Pressure injury prevention during patient rehabilitation | Arjo Prevent pressure injury during patient rehabilitation. Empowering movement is fundamental to any patient rehabilitation programme. Learn more at Arjo.

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.

The Enterprise 8000X hospital bed delivers significant benefits to the patient, caregiver and healthcare facility.

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.
