Support surfaces are built to last — but are they really holding up? Did you know that 50% of acute care support surfaces are compromised within just 3.8 years, and the risk of failure jumps 67.6% each additional year? When a patient rests on a compromised surface, they are more likely to develop an infection. The numbers don't lie: Patients placed in beds previously occupied by someone with an infection are up to six times more likely to contract one themselves. So what’s the solution? Our General Manager of Beds and Therapeutic Support Surfaces Tim McCarty breaks it down in Healthcare Business Today, sharing key insights on how to mitigate risk related to your foam support surfaces.

Foam support surfaces are one of the most overlooked high-use items in a hospital. Their integrity is vital to patient outcomes. When they’re compromised, there is potential infection risk and cross-contamination, among other concerns. So how do you know what to look for? We’ve created a step-by-step audit guide to help you assess and diagnose potential problem areas for your foam support surfaces. This guide includes instructions for how to complete an audit, along with pictures and signs of what you’ll need to look for when identifying compromised surfaces. Give your patients and staff peace of mind. Download the guide.?? https://lnkd.in/gCATW_sb #SupportSurfaces #PatientSafety #HospitalEquipment

On top of everyday wear and tear, support surface top covers are at risk for degradation due to repeated and frequent exposure to harsh disinfectants, many of which are meant for hard surfaces. When used incorrectly, these cleaners can create micro-holes long before visible damage appears and more quickly degrade the surface. For patients and hospitals, that can lead to serious problems. Our VP of Product Management and Clinical Affairs, Kristen Thurman, recently published a study in Advances in Skin & Wound Care, where she explored the challenges of cleaning and disinfecting support surfaces in hospital settings – and the impact of damaged surfaces on patient safety, surface longevity and the hidden costs of improper care and maintenance of support surfaces.

High intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) is at the cutting edge of therapeutic technology for prostate cancer treatment using targeted ablation, providing a non-invasive option that is quite impactful for patients. In that spirit, we are excited to support more cases across the country, and we absolutely have to congratulate Dr. Mourad Abouelleil and the team at Good Samaritan Medical Center in West Palm Beach, FL ,and our partners at Sonablate Corp. for performing their first case with a Sonablate HIFU! Great work, everyone! ???

Something as simple as getting in and out of a hospital bed can be quite difficult for patients – and the caregivers who support them. Our new multi-acuity bed frame – Essentia? – represents the next generation of hospital beds.
