Proven Pressure Ulcer Prevention for Immobile Residents
People who experience limited mobility are more susceptible to pressure injuries since they often spend long periods in one position without being able to move independently. Ongoing repositioning and effective pressure management help reduce this risk while promoting better health and comfort.
With SideLyer, intermediate care facilities and medical group homes can:
Lower the risk of pressure ulcers by more than ten times
Help reduce the costs associated with staff injury claims by 28%
Encourage better venous return for improved blood circulation
Minimize fluid buildup in the legs and sacral area
Allow caregivers to perform skin assessments and wound care more efficiently
