News from the street

The SDS Transfer Vest is on the move...helping semi-ambulatory folks move to be exact. Just left a home health agency that was trialing the vest and the boss' comments went along the lines of "best aid we have every seen...period". Another owner told me that it is "peace of mind" knowing that his employee caregivers have the vest handy. Always nice to hear nice things!

Here is an article that will appear in a newsletter to thousands in Oct..


Medical Vest Worldwide brings a dynamic patient transfer/walking assistance product, with the patents pending SDS Transfer Vest™, to the MedAsset family. The Vest is for semi-ambulatory patients whom can partially bear weight yet require assistance from one or two care providers. By design, the poncho style vest comes with six strategically placed handles that allows care providers to reduce the risk of injuring themselves, while enhancing the safety, security and dignity of the patient during ambulation. The SDS Transfer Vest also incorporates The SDS Glute Strap, which initiates the lift from the buttocks and ensures the product does not “ride- up” on the patient during ambulation.
For patients at risk of falling after ambulation, the six strategically placed handles allow the care providers to stabilize the upper torso without touching the patient directly, reducing the risk of skin tears, bruising, or falling. Some of the other features include:
• Patents pending design allows care providers to use lower body mechanics to reduce back and shoulder injuries
• The Vest acts as a padding agent, reducing the risk of skin tears, bruising, even broken bones, especially in the elderly
• Convenient poncho-style construction for easy on and off
• Latex-free cover is fluid-proof and non-permeable making it breathable and easy cleaning
• Comes with an Anti-microbial treatment application and polyurethane-coated Gait Belt and Glute Strap reducing risk of infection
• Reinforced internal webbing disperses energy vertically for durability
• Meets CA 177 Flammability Standards
Medical Vest Worldwide brings the SDS Transfer Vest to MedAssets because of specific design qualities which result in undeniable cost savings for any health care institution:
• When properly used, a great enhancement for any Fall Prevention Program
• Reduces workers compensation claims attributed to patient transfers in any healthcare setting
• Staff are more protected from the physical demands of manual transfers
• Reduces liability claims/costs directly associated with accidental patient drops/falls

Market Pressure

They don't who we are. They don't know what the vest is. They don't what the vest does. They don't know why we call. They don't know, they don't know,they don't know. In business you try to create or find market pressure to bring to bear on the audience. In the world of the SDS Trnasfer Vest, the pressure that is brought to bear is unfortunate. Pressure is created by injuries. Injury to care providers or injury to a loved one. And there is no way you manufacture that pressure. So we reach out to as many people as possible.

Beam me up Scotty

I just read that some Australian scientists have developed a tractor beam (think Star Trek) that can actual move some particles of matter a meeter or so. WOW! Science is catching up to the human imagination, every day in every way. But to wait for some solutions is to not live the fullest life you can now. You can't live on potential if you need something now. Invest in the vest. Make a difference in the small things like ambulating, moving from spot to spot-chair to chair. Invest in the vest!

The new SDS vest is impressive in its technology, low profile and ability to give dignity to the user. Add in the injury prevention and it is a win/win.
