Safe Patient Moving & Handling

CHALLENGES

  • Nurses turn immobile patients up to 11 times per shift. (1)
  • The annual prevalence of work-related MSDs among nurses is 77.2%. (2)
  • 47% of caregivers‘ MSDs are back injuries, leading to staff shorages and time constraints. (3)

SOLUTIONS

FRAME-BASED LATERAL TILT

Enables easier patient turning while reducing caregiver back strain.

MOBI-LIFT®

Reduces the caregiver's physical effort in assisting the patient to stand while also saving time, as the built-in Mobi-Lift® handle eliminates the need to search for additional equipment.

AUTOCONTOUR (ERGOFRAME®)

Elevating the backrest and thigh rest together reduces patient migration, eliminating the need for caregivers to pull them up in bed constantly.

FOOT CONTROLS

Easy control of the hospital bed at caregiver feet ensures ergonomic positioning for caregivers and effective patient handling.
