These german-engineered grab bars feature a patented no drilling required mounting technology for tile, natural stone, glass and metal. The grab bars combine the strength of a high-performance, single-component commercial adhesive used in the auto industry with a patented adapter to form a permanent bond on tile, stone, glass, metal, concrete and brick. The system works on rough or smooth surfaces and directly over grout lines. The mounting system is designed to be reversible and can be removed with no damage to the surface. Safety tested and rated at 250 lbs.

The HoverMatt Air Transfer System is an air-assisted lateral transfer and repositioning device that reduces the force required to move a patient, allowing caregivers to safely move patients without lifting or straining and providing patients with a safer and more comfortable transfer. The Single-Patient Use HoverMatt Air Transfer System is the disposable version of the air-assisted lateral transfer and repositioning device. In the event of a patient fall, the air-assisted HoverJack Air Patient Lift allows caregivers to safely lift the patient from floor to bed/stretcher height.

The Adjustable Advantage toilet seat expands to each user’s natural sitting position. Featuring quick and easy installation with stainless steel mounting hardware, Adjustable Advantage fits elongated and round toilet bowls with ease. With six bumpers that are each over 2½" wide, it is capable of supporting up to 1,000 lbs. even when fully expanded. Rising 1½" above the rim in the front and 3" in the rear, its sloped angle and contoured design improves posture and increases blood flow. Made of solid polypropylene and weighing 5 lbs, the Adjustable Advantage Toilet Seat is durable enough to withstand years of use and includes a lifetime warranty.

The Prevalon Turn and Position System helps prevent staff injuries resulting from turning patients and helps protect patients in the ICU from sacral pressure ulcers, and is now available in larger sizes for bariatric patients. The Prevalon XL/XXL Turn and Position System assists healthcare workers with turning, repositioning and boosting. It offloads the sacrum to help prevent sacral pressure ulcers. The XL and XXL size systems are compatible with wider hospital beds to help turn patients from 350 to 550 pounds. The system’s Mattress Cover fits extra-wide mattresses and helps reduce friction; the Low-Friction Glide Sheet moves with the patient to make turning easier; disposable Microclimate Body Pad is placed under the patient to manage heat and moisture; and two 30-Degree Body Wedges allow easy positioning.

The new Venodyne Premium Model 810 is a comprehensive venous compression system to reduce the risk of Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) without the risk of post-operative bleeding associated with some drug therapies. The new Premium 810, builds on and enhances two previous versions of the Venodyne system (610 and 710), to offer additional features that improve patient comfort and enable providers to treat a broader variety of patient needs. The battery-operated Venodyne 810 system features multiple sleeve styles that offer simultaneous leg and foot compression and a softer layer inside and out for patient comfort. The hook and loop system provides an alternative to the traditional slip over sleeves, but retains the circumferential compression making correct compression therapy easier. Bariatric leg and foot sleeve options are available.

Ergolet’s Hera Maxi is a bariatric tilt-in-space bathing and toileting chair capable of supporting up to 550 pounds. To accommodate heavy users the Hera Maxi has fully adjustable height and side-arm functions along with foot, leg and neck support. The tilt-in-space, hand-lever operated recline feature enables heavy user functions to be safely and easily carried out with comfort. The chair tilts forward and backwards, flip-up armrests allow for easy sideways transfer in and out of the chair. The adjustment mechanism accommodates users of various heights, and allows for flexible chair placement over toilets of various sizes.

The Z-Slider is a simple safe patient handling system that helps prevent disabling back injuries as a result of lifting, transferring and repositioning patients. It supports proper patient handling and ergonomic techniques and decreases physical strain to back, shoulders, neck and arms. In addition to lowering costs associated with back injuries (i.e. workers’ compensation, administrative and nurse staffing), the Z-Slider complies with current OSHA recommendations and "No Lift" Laws. The Z-Slider also helps increases patient safety by minimizing the potential for patient discomfort, skin tears, abrasions and bruising. It was designed for single-patient use, thus eliminating the potential for cross contamination.

The ECHELON FLEX Powered ENDOPATH Stapler is a powered endocutter with enhanced system-wide compression and stability. Powered ECHELON FLEX allows greater instrument stability with at least 63% reduction in tip movement during tissue cutting and stapling compared to the Endo GIA Ultra and the Endo GIA Universal. The stapler delivers consistent, properly formed staples across the entire length of the staple line by maintaining a uniform gap in the jaws from the instrument’s proximal end to distal tip. Powered operation reduces the force required to fire the instrument, which leads to less movement of the tip on or near vital structures during transection potentially resulting in less tissue trauma, even in thick tissue and at awkward angles. Ergonomic handle design enables one-handed use.

DETECTO’s new model DR660 portable scale provides mobile bariatric weighing. The 21.5-in/56-cm wide platform accommodates broad stances inherent in bariatric patients. The DR660’s weighing platform is only 2-in/5-cm high, requiring only a minimal step and features a non-skid rubber mat for patient assurance and safety. Detecto’s DR660 features 660-lb/300-kg capacity, 1-in/25-mm high bold LCD readouts, RS232 serial port for EMR/EHR connectivity, carrying handle, and rechargeable built-in battery power. The HOLD key retains weight on the display after a patient has stepped off the scale allowing patient attendance first before recording measurements.
