June is Wound Healing Awareness Month, a crucial time to spotlight a major, yet highly preventable healthcare challenge: pressure ulcers.

According to clinical literature, immobility and prolonged tissue compression remain primary drivers of hospital-acquired pressure injuries (HAPIs). Overcoming this requires consistent, compliant repositioning protocols—but manual turning places immense physical strain on frontline nursing staff.

At SideLyer, we are proud to support #WHAM2026 by helping facilities eliminate preventable pressure injuries. SideLyer is an advanced, motorized patient support system that allows caregivers to safely change pressure distribution with a single touch. By offering controlled rotational adjustment, vertical lift, and head-to-toe angling, it facilitates:

• A 10-fold reduction in pressure ulcer incidence.
• Improved access for wound care assessments, dressing changes, and debridement.
• A 28% reduction in staff injury claim costs by minimizing manual lifting.

Let’s work together to protect patient skin integrity and support the caregivers who protect them.
