ErgoSlide Added to Prevent No Lift Program for Patient Maneuverability in Bed

As stated in the Prevent, Inc.'s Mission, "Prevent, Inc.'s professional nurses develop, implement, and promote comprehensive safety programs, including a "no manual lift" component, which dramatically reduce health care workplace injuries." The "Get A Lift!"® program introduces health care facilities cost saving programs by establishing a non-lifting environment for caregivers; thus reducing the risk of injury in the workplace while perform daily manual patient handling.

In 2004, Prevent, Inc. was introduced to the ErgoSlide^®, an innovative Slide Tube exclusively designed by ErgoSafe Products. The ErgoSlide^® can be used to move patients up or across a bed and turn them without pulling the patient's body and without the caregiver having to lift. It is made from a strong nylon material sewn into a long roller band and is wide enough for a patient to lie on. Webbed handles are on both sides of the sheet around the full length, which are used to turn or slide the patient.

The "Get A Lift!"® Program has set the standard for effective "no manual lift" programs and can greatly benefit every health care facility in America. Prevent provides a framework, process and support for a "no manual lift" environment developed by professional nurses. The program has proven to be effective in over 200 health care facilities.
