Bariatric Care / Weight Loss Center
Fully Automated Patient Lateral Transfer, Supine to Sitting & Boosting
make it simpull
Patients receiving bariatric care must be moved and repositioned in bed consistently in order to reduce the chance of otherwise common tissue damage and ulcers. This means that bariatric staff are frequently shifting patients in and out of positions, as well as aiding them with general mobility. This can involve lateral transfers and adjustments from supine to sitting, all while ensuring optimal positioning during each procedure.
The SimPull device makes it all possible with zero lift and zero force for your patient care team.
46% of nursing injury cases were from overexertion according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor and Statistics.
Proactively reduce the chance of bariatric care staff injury
Even proper lifting techniques don’t prevent all injuries, and manual lifting, pushing and pulling can lead to repetitive motion injuries. The SimPull can move patients up to 500 lbs in a fully automated, controlled fashion - without log rolls. By reducing the physical strain on staff, it helps prevent fatigue and maintains a higher level of safety and efficiency in patient transfers.
1 simpull vs endless disposables
No consumables. No waste.
For a bariatric center serving about 40 patients per day over the course of a year, around 29,200 disposable items like covers, positioning aids and disposable mats might be used and discarded annually.
* 40 patients per day x 2 disposables per patient (1 cover + 1 positioning aid or disposable mat) X 365 days per year= 29,200 consumables
1 simpull vs endless disposables
Zero ongoing costs
SimPull requires no consumables, and can save $2244 daily per 100 transfers using the existing bed sheet to transfer patients from bed to bed.
