ELEVATE YOUR STANDARD OF CARE


Fluidized Positioner to mold and contour around the vulnerable Achilles tendon. A built-in foot gate allows heel skin assessment without boot removal. During a recent study at Ethica Health, 100% of the study patients reported comfort and ability to comply with the plan of care versus those with the prior heel suspension boot, which was reported as hot, heavy and uncomfortable. Staff compliance with protocol also improved due to ease of application and resident satisfaction.10


Industry future


As the patient positioning market and needs continue to grow, Lazzeri predicts, “Enhanced pressure reduction surfaces and ad- ditional design improvements to enhance patient and caregiver satisfaction.”


Encompass Group, LLC is focusing on surfaces, reports Warren. “In addition to a full line of support surfaces that are made in the U.S., Encompass Group LLC recently launched the innovative, en- gineer and clinician designed Airisana. Airisana features the fi rst of its kind, fi ve support surfaces in one. This surface offers low air loss with targeted air fl ow, pressure redistribution, alternating pressure on a randomized cycle to prevent acclimation, microclimate man- agement, immersion and envelopment, and lateral rotation to assist with caregiver turn assist, pulmonary health and early mobility.” Lifts and education are in development with Stryker Medical Sage business unit, says Nelson. “The new Sage AirTAP Lift Compat- ible (LC) was introduced to the market in November. AirTAP LC provides 3-in-1 patient mobility by helping staff achieve compliance to protocol for in bed repositioning, lateral transfer, and vertical transfer from bed to chair using overhead and portable lift equipment. We also partner with hospitals to provide the education and tools necessary to ensure proper use and drive bet- ter patient care.”

creased Ambulatory Surgical Centers (ACSs) and a hip positioning device. “One positive healthcare trend is the rise of ASCs. Recently, ASCs have been approved to do more types of joint replacement surgeries. IMP is committed to helping ASCs enhance profi tability by offering many space-conscious solutions, attractive product bundling options and access to on-site in-service training for ASC staff. In 2020, we’re planning a release of an all-new hip position- ing system that will signifi cantly reduce setup times in the OR. The product requires very little training to set up and features a unifi ed, unfolding design that simplifi es setup and saves time.” HPN
