1. Readiness In emergencies, healthcare professionals must act swiftly. Regular checks ensure that everything is functioning and that all necessary supplies are available. An unstocked or malfunctioning trolley can lead to delays in treatment, potentially putting patients’ lives at risk.
1. Mattresses and Overlays Specialty mattresses are critical for preventing pressure ulcers and ensuring patient comfort. Options include foam mattresses, gel mattresses, and air fluidized beds, each tailored for varying levels of patient mobility and skin integrity. Mattress overlays, designed to enhance existing mattresses, further provide support and alleviate pressure points.
A rollator is a type of mobility aid that consists of a frame with four wheels, handles for support, and a seat for resting. Unlike traditional walkers, which require lifting, rollators are designed for easy movement and provide stability and safety. They allow users to navigate their environment with confidence and ease, making them an invaluable tool for promoting independence.
