proturn-supine-to-prone

A New Unique System For Proning Patients More Safely In Operating Theatres

The Proturn® was developed to replace the hazardous manual system of Flip & Catch, common in many operating theatres that leaves patients and staff at risk of injury. Designed to enhance safety, the Proturn® will turn patients into and out of the prone position safely and efficiently, protect the arm in the manoeuvre, eliminate static positioning and remove the dangerous reaching, stretching and catching.

This results in less staff being required. Removes the risk of musculoskeletal injury and any risk of patient nerve or tissue damage due to poor handling. Positionally accurate, easy to use and safe for all. Choose Proturn® for all your prone positioning.

STABLE POSITION WHEN
AND AS YOU WISH

 Stable positioning even when sitting upright.

Family caregivers and caregivers are faced with the task of regularly repositioning bedridden residents, not only for care tasks such as washing, but also to prevent complications such as bedsores, atelectasis and other pulmonary conditions in bedridden residents.
The Morphematic is an mattress cover with two alternating inflatable air compartments that automatically tilt bedridden patients up to 180 kg on the left and right side.

 

  • Perfect fit on a standard bed and mattress (foam or 3D)
  • Biocompatible cover that is safe for skin
  • 100% hygienic and machine washable at 60°C

“Routinely positioning patients prophylactical/y promotes
comfort, prevents the formation of pressure ulcers and may
reduce the incidence of deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary
embolism, atelectasis and pneumonia.”

– Hewitt 2018

A version of the Morphematic was pressure-mapped and tested by two independent bodies. The tests compared the Ergotrics Morphecover with an Anti-decubitus air mattress.


The conclusions of both studies indicated that the Ergotrics Morphecover has the same or better pressure distribution properties as the anti-decubitus mattress.

Washable to 74 degrees for 20 washes they have a row of strong handles stitched along one side to which the long Proturn® straps attach in order to turn the patient.
