Optima Turn
Reducing patient handling complexity and patient discomfort ¡X Improving repositioning feasibility and pressure ulcer prevention.
Over 670,000 cases of hospital-acquired pressure injuries occur every year in the United States, with an institutional cost exceeding USD 11.5 million.
Pressure ulcers significantly increase inpatient mortality and prolong inpatients' length of hospital stay by 7 to 11.2 days.1,3 Treatment costs over USD 130,000 per inpatient (stage IV) and quickly accumulates due to high readmission rate within 30 days after discharge.
Turning patients at a 30¢X lateral position (lowest max pressure in lateral position) every 4 hours on an alternating pressure mattress significantly reduces pressure ulcer incidences by 85% and labor-intensity for caregivers and improves patient comfort and overall effort- and cost-efficiency.
Optima Turn's automatic and timer-controlled turning up to 30¢X supported by alternating pressure, multiple pressure relief therapy options and manually deflatable air cells for heel relief care, all easily accessible through the intuitive pump interface, streamlining patient handling and caregiver workload.
