Alerta Medical launches new patient positioning range for users with restricted mobility
Medical equipment manufacturer Alerta Medical has launched a new patient positioning range for users with restricted mobility.
The range includes a support belt in two sizes and two new heel protectors.
Whether it be pressure relief or patient transfer, patient positioning is an important part of life for people who are less mobile, according to Alerta Medical, which believes that having the right equipment in place is absolutely essential.
Alerta’s Patient Positioning Range is designed to provide relief and support to individuals who experience heel discomfort or additional support with transfers.
Ian Lindberg, CEO of Alerta Medical, commented: “Alerta are delighted to introduce two new heel bootee products, including the Deluxe Superior Comfort Bootee which allows for heel offloading whilst promoting skin breathability and blood flow which is of all importance.
The new Deluxe Support Belt enables a greater sense of independence which is a constant focus whilst at the same time providing the user with a sense of security, enhanced through the additional leg supports, and assists carers with a dignified transfer assist device offering multiple control points.”
Based in Irvine in Scotland, Alerta Medical is a designer and manufacturer of pressure relief and fall prevention equipment for the healthcare market, delivering solutions to proactively maximise user safety and comfort.
In August 2024, Alerta Medical launched a new Standing Turner device to help a carer or attendant assist a user to transfer between a seat, bed, toilet, commode or wheelchair by standing and turning.
