Understanding what to look for when inspecting hospital support surfaces for fluid ingress and contamination is a key factor in reducing patient risk.? The problem is that while foam support surfaces are one of the most highly-used items in the hospital, they are often overlooked as a potential source of infection risk. If you haven't inspected your foam support surfaces in a while, there is no better time than now. Download our guide for step-by-step instructions to perform an audit of your foam support surfaces, and make repair/replacement recommendations based on your findings.

We can help ensure your teams are ready to meet the increased demands by getting ahead of preventive maintenance and repairs or providing quick access to additional rentals for the flu season.? ? #FluSeason #MedicalEquipment

As patient acuity rises, the risk for pressure injuries increases – and with it, the demand for timely access to the right support surfaces. Pressure injuries affect 2.5 million patients annually, costing the U.S. healthcare industry billions. Delays in placing patients on the appropriate support surface can lead to poor outcomes, caregiver fatigue and high treatment costs. A crucial factor in reducing pressure injuries is ensuring the right equipment is available as quickly as possible. With purchase or rental options, fast delivery and flexible service options, we ensure the right support surfaces are there when you need them most. Learn more about our solutions and how they can support better patient outcomes, caregiver efficiency and cost savings. ?? https://lnkd.in/gZTfDUYU #PatientCare #PressureInjuries #SupportSurfaces

The prevalence of severe obesity has more than doubled in the past decade, placing increased demands on hospitals and staff to safely mobilize these individuals. In a recent case study, we explore how an 800-pound patient progressed from dependent (admission) to independent (discharge) using a range of specialized equipment, including a 48” wide bed, ceiling lift, bariatric stretcher chair and more. This equipment played a crucial role in the patient’s recovery and kept hospital staff safe throughout the entire process. Read the full case study for more details on how hospitals can safely mobilize individuals of size.??? https://lnkd.in/gdTGXk4m #PatientCare #BariatricCare #HospitalSafety #ObesityCare #MedicalEquipment

Almost every patient will lay on a foam support surface at some point during their hospital stay. Even though these surfaces are cleaned after each patient use, it's not common for hospitals to look beneath the top cover to check the condition of the support surface itself. And though foam support surfaces are expected to last up to five years, many degrade faster than anticipated, leading to potential safety concerns like fluid ingress from small tears. Our latest case study, "Unique Support Surface Construction Materials Influence Fluid Ingress, Longevity and Return on Investment," explores this issue and highlights how construction and materials can impact patient safety and durability. Take a closer look at what's beneath the surface, and when you're ready, reach out to discuss auditing your foam support surfaces. ?? https://lnkd.in/gzegBg_t #SupportSurfaces #PatientSafety #HospitalCare
