Optima Turn
Reducing patient handling complexity and pressure injury risks.
8.5% of acute and post-acute adult patients develop
hospital-acquired pressure injuries (PI), with 5.4 incidences per 10,000 patients per day. Over half of all PI incidences
are within Stage I and Stage II severity and primarily affectthe sacrum, heels, and hips (in prevalence order). PI
significantly increases inpatient mortality and length of
hospital stay by 7 to 11.2 days.1-3
Rotating patients in a 30° lateral position every 4 hours on
an alternating pressure mattress reduces pressure injury
incidences by 85% and labor-intensity for caregivers andimproves patient comfort - and cost-efficiency.4,5Optima Turn is a pressure-reducing support surface
solution that improves patient handling efficiency,pressure injury prevention, and patient care delivery
and outcome for inpatients.

Access multiple therapy modes
Care providers can switch between static, alternating,and turning therapy modes to deliver high-quality
and flexible patient care according to the patient's
recovering status without moving the patient to andfrom different mattresses.

Automate 30° lateral turning
Two longitudinal air cells inflate to achieve 30° repositioning, reducing excessive labour and injuring careproviders. Auto-turning supports continuous 30°
turning, increasing clinical guidelines compliance forrepositioning immobile patients.

Consistent turning speed and angle
Slow and consistent turning ensures a smooth andcomfortable repositioning experience for the patient.
Care providers can choose between turning angles(10, 20°, and 30°) to optimize patient recovery
outcomes.

Optimal patient safety during turning
Firm air cell side bolsters combined with the bed rails
prevent the patient from slipping off the mattress andfeeling trapped, uncomfortable, or hurt by the railings
during turning. Optima Turn supports upper bodyturning only, improving patient safety.

Clinical Benefits
The benefit of routinely rotating the inpatient between 30° lateral positions on each side reduces the incidence ofpressure injuries compared to the conventional 90° lateral position.6

Probability to have no pressure ulcer lesions

The heel (calcaneus) is vulnerable to pressure injuries due to withstanding high pressure across a small surface areawith thin tissue layering for protection.7,8 Elevating or suspending inpatients' heels to create a zero-pressure zone
reduces pressure injury risk significantly.9
