Reduce Pressure Ulcers with SideLyer

Patients who are unable to reposition themselves independently face a high risk of developing pressure injuries. These injuries can form quickly, potentially leading to serious health complications, extended recovery periods, and higher healthcare costs. Maintaining consistent repositioning protocols while managing staff responsibilities can create challenges, leaving gaps between recommended care and what is achievable in day-to-day routines.

SideLyer assists caregivers in California by providing controlled, motorized repositioning that follows clinical protocols. It promotes healthy blood circulation, protects skin from damage, and reduces the physical strain associated with manual lifting. This allows staff to provide safe, consistent, and effective care throughout all shifts.

10× Fewer Pressure Ulcers in Immobile Patients

Pressure ulcers frequently develop when continuous pressure limits blood flow to the skin, leaving tissue vulnerable to damage. SideLyer supports patients by providing safe, angled positioning that alleviates pressure, improves circulation, and protects sensitive areas from prolonged stress. Clinical experience shows that patients using SideLyer experience up to ten times fewer bed sores, significantly reducing the occurrence of painful wounds and the extended recovery periods that typically follow.

Who Can Benefit From SideLyer in California?

Individuals might benefit from SideLyer if they are:

Experiencing long-term mobility challenges such as ALS, multiple sclerosis, or spinal cord injuries
Patients receiving care in long-term care hospitals or specialized rehabilitation facilities
Recovering from surgical procedures that limit movement or require extended rest
At elevated risk for skin breakdown due to immobility or fragile skin
Experiencing reduced sensation or other conditions that limit repositioning ability
Confined to bed for extended periods and in need of consistent pressure relief

Clinical research indicates that using pressure-relieving devices like SideLyer can meaningfully reduce hospital-acquired pressure injuries. Many facilities begin to see measurable results and cost savings within six months. Let SideLyer handle pressure management so you can focus on patient care.

Why Medical Facilities in California Choose SideLyer

From a financial perspective, avoiding a single hospital-acquired pressure injury can save roughly $21,000 in direct costs. In many situations, a single SideLyer unit pays for itself after preventing just one injury, often within the first few months of implementation. Facilities also experience fewer workers’ compensation claims, higher staff retention, and improved compliance with safety standards.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do we get started with SideLyer? +

Start by scheduling a virtual demo with our team all the way from California. During the demo, you can see exactly how SideLyer works in action and ask any questions about how it could support patients in your facility.

After the demo, you have the option to try a 90-day free trial, giving your staff the chance to see how SideLyer fits into your daily care routines and enhances patient safety and comfort.

Is SideLyer covered by insurance? +
SideLyer can often be obtained through insurance coverage, depending on individual eligibility and policy requirements. The standard retail price for the system is $11,000 when insurance applies, or $6,900 if purchased without insurance. Our knowledgeable team is available to guide families through coverage options, explain potential out-of-pocket costs, and help clarify how the final expense may vary based on each specific situation.
Can our health facility in California rent SideLyer instead of purchasing it? +
Yes, SideLyer is offered as a rental for those in California who do not wish to purchase the system outright. Renting costs $550 per month and requires a commitment of at least 13 months. This approach provides families, caregivers, and care facilities with access to SideLyer’s full capabilities while offering a flexible solution for long-term care management.
When should we use SideLyer in a care plan? +
SideLyer is commonly employed when a patient cannot move independently or requires ongoing support to maintain safe positions throughout the day and relieve pressure on sensitive areas. Within many care plans, regular repositioning is essential to protect vulnerable parts of the body from prolonged pressure and to promote proper circulation. SideLyer simplifies this process by giving caregivers easy access to motorized controls, allowing them to adjust positioning safely and efficiently. This approach helps maintain patient comfort while supporting skin integrity and daily care routines.
How do pressure ulcers/pressure sores form in immobile patients? +
Pressure injuries frequently develop slowly as several contributing factors interact. Restricted movement, skin exposure to moisture, friction from contact with surfaces, and overall skin fragility all raise the risk of injury. Although these wounds often begin as small areas of redness or discomfort, continued pressure on the same spot can cause them to deteriorate further. Families and healthcare professionals focus on regular repositioning and the strategic use of supportive surfaces to prevent bed sores and maintain healthy skin.
How does SideLyer support care when dead tissue is present? +
SideLyer enhances patient positioning, allowing clinicians to reach affected areas more easily without the need for frequent manual turns. By maintaining proper alignment and support, it promotes safer management of pressure ulcers while healthcare teams perform necessary wound care, including the removal of dead tissue and ongoing monitoring of healing progress.
How does SideLyer help prevent pressure ulcers in high-risk patients? +
SideLyer assists in pressure ulcer prevention by maintaining consistent repositioning schedules, reducing the prolonged pressure that contributes to skin breakdown. It also addresses risk factors including immobility, inadequate nutrition, and compromised tissue health. In the case of patients with spinal cord injuries, SideLyer helps minimize the risk of initial pressure ulcers and significantly reduces the likelihood of progression into severe or decubitus ulcers, promoting better outcomes for skin integrity and overall health.
How does SideLyer support pressure reduction for at-risk patients? +
SideLyer provides reliable and consistent pressure reduction, helping to relieve stress on vulnerable areas, maintain healthy blood flow, and reduce discomfort for individuals with limited mobility. When used in combination with specialized support surfaces, it helps prevent the development of chronic pressure ulcers, reduces the risk of infections, and supports healing of existing chronic wounds.
How does SideLyer support daily skin care routines? +
SideLyer provides valuable support for staff in keeping vulnerable skin clean, dry, and protected. By making it easier to detect changes in skin coloration or early signs of irritation, it allows caregivers to act quickly to prevent complications. The system works in harmony with care plans that include moisture barrier creams, supporting comprehensive wound prevention and optimal skin health outcomes.
Can SideLyer help manage long-term wound risks? +
Yes, SideLyer provides reliable support for reducing pressure on vulnerable areas and maintaining consistent positioning. By doing so, it helps prevent minor pressure injuries from developing into chronic ulcers and promotes more positive outcomes for individuals with long-term wounds.
What is Quest Inc., and how is it related to SideLyer? +

Quest Inc. is a 60+ year nonprofit providing homes, care, and support for individuals with developmental disabilities. The SideLyer was invented within Quest Inc.’s residential care program to address pressure ulcers, improve resident quality of life, and reduce caregiver injuries. Today, Quest Inc. remains a key partner, providing decades of frontline insight that shape SideLyer’s design, safety features, and clinical mission.

What impact has SideLyer had on individuals and their families? +

Individuals have demonstrated improved comfort, fewer pressure wounds, and greater social engagement. Families frequently express relief that their loved one is safer, more comfortable, and better positioned throughout the day.

As one Quest Inc. parent shared, “Most of her pressure is not where she can have a skin breakdown. It takes the pressure off the body.”

Others noted that wounds once expected to take “months and months” to heal, recovered in a fraction of the time due to consistent repositioning.
