Promoting Safety in Physical Therapy Patient Transfer Techniques
Fully Automated Patient Lateral Transfer, Supine to Sitting & Boosting for Physical Therapy
make it simpull
The SimPull can assist physical therapists in safely and efficiently performing key mobility tasks such as lateral transfers, supine-to-sitting transitions, and patient boosting. By minimizing the physical strain involved in these movements, it helps protect therapists from injury while supporting proper body mechanics and patient engagement. This is especially beneficial in physical therapy settings, where repositioning and mobility exercises are essential to patient recovery.
46% of nursing injury cases were from overexertion according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor and Statistics.
Proactively reduce the chance of physical therapy 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 facility conducting 25 patient transfers 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
1 simpull vs endless disposables
Zero ongoing costs
SimPull requires no consumables, and can save $2244 per 100 transfers using the existing bed sheet to transfer patients from bed to bed.
Time & turnover savings
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 as well as staff safety in physical therapy facilities.
one device, many capabilities
Multi-function patient movement
The SimPull completes lateral patient transfers, boosting, and supine-to-seated transfers, all useful in physical therapy settings for repositioning patients in order to complete exercises as needed. Because some patients receiving physical therapy services can't independently transition between positions, the SimPull provides a safe and efficient method to do so without comprimising physical therapist safety.
Take steps to reduce potential workers’ compensation claims in your Physical Therapy Department
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 Physical Therapy Department 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.
