INDIANAPOLIS (June 18, 2014)—EHOB, Inc. a provider of affordable products effective in the prevention and treatment of pressure ulcers, announces 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 it also protects patients from added pressure and shearing forces.
Sold as a four-part system, the Position Perfect includes two foam, nonskid wedges, the clinically proven WAFFLE Mattress Overlay and the WAFFLE M.A.D. Hand Pump. Both wedges are constructed with nonskid material to keep them 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.” Visit ehob.com for more information.
