INDIANAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--EHOB, Inc., a leading provider of affordable products effective in the prevention and treatment of pressure ulcers, is announcing today the release of the Position Perfect® System. Designed as a unique turning, transferring and positioning system, it not only complies with facility turning protocols but also protects patients from added pressure and shearing forces.
Sold as a four-part system, the Position Perfect includes two foam, non-skid wedges, the clinically-proven WAFFLE Mattress Overlay, and the WAFFLE M.A.D. Hand Pump. Both wedges are constructed with non-skid material to help keep the wedge securely in place. The first Position Perfect wedge is designed to be placed under the back of a patient resting on the WAFFLE Mattress Overlay to support the back and shoulders. The second wedge is recommended for placement under the patient’s thighs to support the lower body.
The included, air-filled WAFFLE Mattress Overlay is made to go directly on top of an existing mattress to cradle the body, provide protection and treatment for pressure ulcers, and offer pain management. The overlay features a patented design to eliminate 'bottoming out,' air-venting holes to dissipate heat and moisture, and a low-profile design for greater stability and patient safety. Dog-bone handwells also offer ease of use to the caregiver when turning, mobilizing and transferring a patient and while putting the Position Perfect wedges in place. Additionally, the provided WAFFLE M.A.D. Hand Pump provides non-electrical, exact inflation for the overlay to ensure therapeutic effectiveness and maximize the proven benefits of static-air support.
“It can take two to seven days for a pressure ulcer to appear, but it can form in as little as minutes depending upon the physiologic status of the patient,” said Scott Rogers, president and COO of EHOB. “Our new, easy-to-use system provides all the materials needed to facilitate the proper protection, turning and repositioning that is integral in pressure ulcer prevention.”
EHOB offers a number of products for pressure ulcer prevention and treatment, including mattress overlays, seating cushions, day chair pads, lower-limb protectors, positioning aids and more. Over 2,200 hospitals, nursing homes and home caregivers rely on EHOB’s support surfaces. The Position Perfect system is available for purchase through EHOB’s nationwide resellers and on the company’s website at http://www.ehob.com.
