There's no such thing as a turning system for obese patients? There is now. Comfortable, rotational, therapeutic patient care for the bariatric patient is a reality thank to the Big-Turn! The Big-Turn was designed with both patient & caregiver in mind with it's functionality. For example if you should need access to your patients back, simply click Right or Left Turn once to adjust the cycle time to "zero" and the Big-Turn rolls your patient onto his or her side until you reset the cycle. The Auto-Firm function tells the Big-Turn to inflate to it's maximum capacity, firming the mattress for patient transfers. The fully customizable firmness settings reassure that your patient will achieve the perfect level of comfort without compromising therapy. Speaking of therapy, the Big-Turn has 4 different turn functions so that you can make sure your patient is getting the appropriate therapeutic turn: a right side turn, left side turn, full turn (up 40 degrees rotation) & finally the Big-Turn (70 degree rotation).
Every non-ambulatory, bariatric patient is at risk of pressure ulcers. Perhaps you don't need rotational therapy because your patient is simply at risk and hasn't developed skin break down yet or perhaps they do have ulcers, but won't fit comfortably in a 39" wide platform. Consider the Mighty-Air 1000 lbs capacity low air loss system if these are your circumstances. The Mighty-Air will help take the worry out of your daily care for your obese patient with it's 3 to 1 alternating pressure relief and true low air loss. You'll find it available in every size of platform that New Care Therapies offers (39"x80", 39"x86" (Tall Plus) & 48"x80" (Wide Plus).
