Features and Benefits
Low cost
By implementing the PATRAN, there’s no need for a large upfront investment. From day one, your facility will start to realize the savings associated with safe-patient handling. Besides, the price of safe-patient handling devices is much less than the cost of worker injuries.
Reduces health care worker injuries
PATRANs reduce the need for health care workers to lift patients. Lifting, transferring and repositioning patients are the most common reasons for back injuries, which result in lost work days, increased workers’ compensation claims and nursing staff leaving the workforce, according to the American Nursing Association.
Single-patient use
The PATRAN should never be used with more than one patient. Single-patient use eliminates cross-contamination and promotes infection control. If a PATRAN becomes soiled, the combined benefits of low cost and disposable material make it easy to replace.
Easily portable
PATRANs are compact so they can fit in a caregiver’s pocket and be readily available when needed.
Safe and comfortable
PATRANs are soft and thin so they are rarely even noticed by the patient. Using PATRANs reduced the risk of patients being dropped and suffering of friction burns, skin shear and bruises that add to physical and emotional pain.
