“The home care bed market is placing an increasing
emphasis on fall prevention and patient safety.”
— Mike Sedlak, product manager, beds, transitional support
systems, casegoods, Invacare
“The support surface segment remains highly focused
toward overall patient safety including entrapment and falls. The
market continues to demand a highly durable therapeutic system that
is easy to operate, maintain and clean. Additionally, the
increasing obesity problem in the U.S. has forced manufacturers to
be much more flexible with their mattress sizing as well as weight
capacity for the entire system.”
— Gregg Garland, vice president, wound care sales, The
Roho Group
“As medical reimbursement becomes more difficult for
[providers] to receive, we are seeing a substantial growth in cash
sales.”
