The VENDLET V5S is an automatic patient transfer aid for turning and repositioning patients in bed. The assistive device makes it possible to perform a gentle and smooth repositioning of the patient, which requires a minimum of strain and effort of healthcare staff. The transfer aid improves workplace health and safety, provides gentle and calm care for the client, reduces the risk of pressure ulcers, saves time and resources and much more.
With the turning system, it is possible to:
Turn a person from supine to lateral position and back
Transfer a client sideways in bed
Transfer a client from sitting on the bedside and further into the bed
Move the client up in bed
Simplify the process of applying a sling
Turn a patient to/from the prone position
Safe Patient Handling
This assistive device can be used for a range of patients and clients. For people with no or very limited mobility, e.g. people with paralysis, Cerebral Palsy or severe Parkinson’s Disease, the system is a safe way of moving and handling, that is gentle on the client’s skin reducing the risk of tissue damage and providing an overall more comfortable experience. The large sheet ‘hugs’ the client while they are being turned, making the transfer feel controlled and safe.
The system is also beneficial for people with cognitive dysfunction, such as people with dementia. The gentle movements of the turning system help calm the client and are recognizable no matter who is operating the system. This makes it easier for cognitively impaired patients to understand what is going on and reduces confusion. These clients also often benefit from systems with speed adjustment (VENDLET V5S Speed Adjust).
