Turn.aido
The revolutionary Turn.aido concept has consolidated the requirements of clinicians, care givers and the cared for alike. It is a vital manual handling tool as well as a nursing aid. Now ‘Turn.aido’ is not only available incorporated in some of our dynamic mattresses but also in a static replacement mattress and as a replacement cover for use on a variety of existing alternating air and foam mattresses and overlays.
The unique Turn.aido systems can save up to half the time it takes to turn patients and can also help prevent back strain.
When turning a patient with Turn.aido, it’s so fast and easy… And it’s far more likely to be carried out.
Key features at a glance
With Turn.aido:
- the turning of the patient is better for nurses’ back and can be carried out more quickly
- it is kinder to patients involving less disturbance
- it means that patients can be turned at night or by family members more readily reducing the number of visits required by home care nurses during the course of 24 hour rotor.
- Patients are rolled, not lifted; thereby ensuring the nurse maintains a straight back.
- Turning becomes a simpler technique, which is more tolerant of user error.
- When helping a resident out of bed, there is less reaching by the carer and less twisting.
- Normally, patient turning is very costly in nursing time, but with Turn.aido, it is often possible for one nurse on her own to turn a person considerably heavier than themselves. This saves the time of waiting for a colleague to come and assist.
- It is always in place when and where you want it: less time is spent hunting for other moving and handling equipment and then having to get it in position before manoeuvring. As a result, your Minimal Handling Policy is more likely to be complied with.
- For nights when staffing is less, it also makes compliance easier.
- Recent signals from the NCSC and Residential Forum cite the need for resident to be lifted as a major factor in determining the staffing needs of each nursing home resident. As the NCSC is going to take a more flexible attitude to staffing ratios, it offers more justification for the use of efficient equipment such as Turn.aido.
Further benefits
- Turn.aido can be set to enable a patient who has difficulty arching their back to turn themselves: the Velcro flaps are left unfastened, allowing the movement of arms or legs to make changes in body position
- in cases of sacral ulcer therapy where the patient needs to stay briefly at 900 on each hip in turn, Turn.aido makes this feasible and more easily achievable
