provides a revolutionary new mobility system
that enables
a single caregiver to transfer a
patient weighing up to 600 pounds
between bed
and a specially designed wheelchair.
Joint Commission on
National Patient Safety Goals New Requirement
98: Implement a fall reduction program and
evaluate the effectiveness of the program. The
program should include risk reduction
strategies, in services, involving
patients/families in education and environment
of care redesign. The program should also
include development and implementation of
transfer protocols (e.g...bed-to-chair), when
relevant.
As a nurse, you believe that
getting your patient out of bed is an essential
part of their recovery. You'd stake your
back on it.
Introduces the
Mobility
System, a single solution to many complications
associated with the immobile patient. Its
unique automatic transfer function makes it easy
for a nurse, attendant or in special situations
the patient to easily and safely transfer
between a full-function bed and an extra-wide
wheelchair with a built in commode. The
benefits of mobilizing
the patient to an upright position are immense,
and patients such as the ventilator dependent
can benefit greatly. Often this is difficult in
practice because the patient has orthostatic
hypotension,
or poor endurance.
The
Mobility System
allows you to get your patient out of bed
without exhausting their limited energy reserves
and allows them to get into a full upright
position gradually as tolerated. It also means
that they can get out
of bed and return to bed
more
frequently and for briefer periods since the
transfer is so much easier. For your patient
sitting up
is a milestone on their road to recovery. The
Mobility System has a transfer conveyor
system integrated into the bed frame which
gently and safely moves the patient from the bed
into
a specially designed wheelchair and back again.
A built in air support system provides true
pressure relief and a low-shear comfortable bed
surface.
