make it simpull
Because of the flexible nature of outpatient surgeries, it is common for patients to be moved between various beds and positions. Staff frequently adjust patients' positions, performing lateral transfers and moving them from supine to sitting, to ensure optimal positioning for the patient's comfort and recovery.
The SimPull device makes it all possible with zero lift and zero force for your patient care team.
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.
With hospitals and outpatient centers completing about 250 outpatient surgeries per day over the course of a year, around 182,500 disposable items like covers, positioning aids and disposable mats might be used and discarded annually.
* 250 patients per day x 2 disposables per patient (1 cover + 1 positioning aid or disposable mat) X 365 days per year= 182,500 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 transfers to and from surgical beds, ensuring optimal positioning for surgery, and the best stationing for quick recovery.
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 Outpatient Surgery Center 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.
