New bed reduces in-hospital fallsRSS Feed

A new bed designed to prevent patients who are disoriented or debilitated from injuring themselves in in-hospital falls, such as brain injury patients, is now available in Europe.

Mark Beran, senior vice president of sales and marketing of the Posey Company, said the Posey StaySafe Bed, Model 8080, delivers peace of mind to both the patient and the caregiver.

"The combined ability to access a patient easily, allow a patient relative freedom of movement, and yet also better assure patient safety from injury, makes the StaySafe Bed an industry-leading offering and we are proud to announce its availability in Europe," he added.

Included in the complete bed system are an electric bed, frame, mattress, and canopy that zips around the area and yet does not inhibit patient in-bed movement or caregiver access.

Posey Company, founded by John Thornton Posey in 1937, delivers innovative patient safety solutions, which create care advantages for a wide variety of patients from paediatrics to adults, for brain injury, stroke, and even dementia patients.
