Hospice
Fully Automated Patient Lateral Transfer, Supine to Sitting & Boosting
make it simpull
Patients in hospice care are often fragile and at a heightened risk of injury, emphasizing the need for safe, comfortable, dignified patient transfers. In a hospice facility, transfers are frequently needed for assisting patients with limited mobility, preventing injuries by lessening risk of falls, managing pain, and for daily hygiene needs such as bathing and dressing.
The SimPull device makes it all possible with zero lift and zero force for your patient care team, and provides a compassionate way to maintain mobility and alleviate discomfort for hospice patients.
46% of nursing injury cases were from overexertion according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor and Statistics.
Proactively reduce the chance of hospice 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 is fully automated and does all the heavy lifting. 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 hospice facility serving 25 patients per day over the course of a year, around 18,250 disposable items like covers, positioning aids and disposable mats might be used and discarded annually.
* 25 patients per day x 2 disposables per patient (1 cover + 1 positioning aid or disposable mat) X 365 days per year= 18,250 consumables
