make it simpull
As many patients entering the operating room are in no condition to move themselves onto the operating table, staff are oftentimes collaborating to safely transfer the patient from the bed to the table. After transfer, the patient's posture is adjusted to be ready for surgery. This repositioning process can involve multiple lateral transfers and adjustments from supine to sitting, all while ensuring optimal positioning during the length of each procedure. The SimPull device makes it all possible with zero lift and zero force for your operating room staff.
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 operating room staff, it helps prevent fatigue and maintains a higher level of safety and efficiency in patient transfers.
For a hospital operating room completing about 22 surgeries per day over the course of a year, around 16,060 disposable items like covers, positioning aids and disposable mats might be used and discarded annually.
* 22 patients per day x 2 disposables per patient (1 cover + 1 positioning aid or disposable mat) X 365 days per year= 16,060 consumables
SimPull’s zero lift, zero force, fully automated functionality reduces the number of staff needed per transfer, drastically reduces the time required for each transfer to around 4 minutes, and can reduce injury and increase staff job satisfaction.
* Avg. Nursing Wage: $37.41/hr, 18 mins in time savings (Avg. NT/60min)*18min
SimPull can be leveraged for lateral patient transfer, supine to sitting adjustments, patient boosting, and precise positioning for imaging procedures. This includes transferring patients on and off of the operating table and adjusting their positioning to be optimal for the surgical procedure.
one device, many capabilities
Data from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration estimates back injury claims cost an average of $40,000 to $80,000 including medical bills, wage loss benefits and more. Don’t leave your Operating Rooms susceptible.
The SimPull takes the need for direct care employees to manually laterally move patients from bed to bed as well as adjust patients from supine to seated with one device.
