Prevalon® Turn and Position System
Turning and repositioning patients according to your facility's turning schedule is critical to preventing sacral pressure ulcers. Current methods have multiple challenges, including lack of nursing time and risk of staff injury.
The Prevalon Turn and Position System is available in three sizes—Standard, XL and XXL—to help turn patients up to 550 pounds. Unlike standard lift slings and plastic glide sheets, it stays under the patient at all times and is always ready to assist with turning, repositioning and boosting. This convenience and efficiency makes it possible for nurses and staff to achieve compliance to a q2° turning protocol.
Additionally, slings and other turning devices require patient rolling and tucking every time, just to get them under the patient and ready for use. This can cause additional stress on the patient. The Prevalon Turn and Position System stays under the patient to minimize additional stress.
