Challenges
- 20% of nurses' working time is spent on patient mobility and handling (1)
- Caregivers are still at top of the number of work-related MSD's (2)
Solutions
Easy control of the hospital bed ensures ergonomic positioning for caregivers and effective patient handling.
Auto-Contour (Ergoframe®)
Patient is less likely to slide down in the bed when the back rest and thigh rest are elevated together. Caregivers do not need to repeatedly reposition the patient up the bed.
Mobi-Grips
Ergonomic grips in the siderails support patients during turning and standing, making the process smoother and easier for caregivers.
Mobi-Rail
Reduces the physical effort for both the patient and caregiver, as well as the number of caregivers needed to assist in the patient's mobilization.
