Problem
Critically ill patients with respiratory distress often require prone therapy, which involves placing the patient face-down to improve oxygenation and lung function. Manually repositioning these patients is labor-intensive for healthcare staff, increases the risk of injury, and can compromise patient safety and comfort. Additionally, patients in the prone position are at high risk for pressure injuries, particularly on the face and chest.
Solution
Turn Medical offers the Pronova-O2™ Automated Prone Therapy System, an innovative solution designed to facilitate safe and efficient prone therapy. This system automates patient positioning, reducing the physical strain on caregivers and ensuring consistent, controlled movements. The Pronova-O2™ supports prone therapy, prone therapy with continuous lateral rotation, and supine rotational therapy. The system includes InteliDerm™ Powered Skin Protection, which actively removes moisture and reduces temperature on the patient's face and chest, mitigating the risk of pressure injuries. By automating prone positioning and integrating skin protection, Turn Medical enhances patient outcomes, improves caregiver efficiency, and promotes a safer care environment.
Target Audience
The primary audience includes hospitals, intensive care units (ICUs), and respiratory care facilities that treat critically ill patients requiring prone positioning, as well as clinicians focused on improving patient safety and reducing caregiver workload.
