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
