FRAME-BASED LATERAL TILT
Allows easier patient manipulation and minimizes back pain.
Safe Patient Moving & Handling
Challenges
- 20% of nurses’ working time is spent on patient mobility and handling (1)
- 47% of caregivers’ MSDs are back injuries, leading to staff shortages and time constraints (2)
- Caregivers are still at top of the number of work-related MSD’s (3)
- Nurse turns immobile patients up to 11× per shift (4)
- The annual prevalence of work-related MSDs among nurses is 77% (5)
Solutions
