Unique repositioning nursing aid which fits over an alternating air, divan or foam mattress and overlay just as easily as a fitted sheet. It is a cost effective way to make the labour saving efficiency advantages of Turn.aido accessible to the broad range of home residents and to carers throughout the domestic market.
Key features at a glance
- Turn.aido 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 maneuvering. As a result, your Minimal Lifting Policy is more likely to be compiled with.
- It transforms your existing stock of foam or air mattresses and overlays.
- It keeps patient in centre of bed - See pictures above and note how the patient stays along the central line of the mattress without rolling to the edge. This is the magic of Turn.aido. On a normal mattress, wide patients come close to the edge when rolled on their side.
Patient benefits
- It is kinder to patients involving less disturbance when in distress or pain.
- In cases of sacral ulcer therapy, where the patient needs to stay briefly at 90 degrees on each hip in turn, Turn.aido makes this more easily achievable.
- 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.
- It allows the body to breath: A two-way stretch waterproof and vapour-permeable fabric is used.
- When used in conjunction with a profiling bed-frame that sits the patient up, the Turn.aido enables them to be switched from one flank to another without them slipping down the bed.
Carer benefits
- It is always ready, and that 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.
- It is fast - saves valuable nursing time.
- It reduces number of nurses required for patient repositioning: turning becomes a simpler technique, which is more tolerant of user error.
- Easier for nurses’ backs, easier for family members: patients are rolled, not lifted; thereby ensuring the nurse maintains a straight back and also When helping a resident out of bed, there is less reaching by the carer and less twisting.
- Can reduce number of nurses required for hygiene routines.
- Makes light work of heavy patients.
