Beskrivelse
The VENDLET V5 is used for handling bedridden patients for example turning, moving from one side of the bed to the other, repositioning the patient up in the bed, mobilizing the patient in and out of the bed, and transferring the patient from one bed to another. The VENDLET V5 has a load capacity of 200 kg. The VENDLET V5+ has a load capacity of 400 kg and is designed for bariatric patients; otherwise, the VENDLET V5+ has exactly the same functionalities and use as the VENDLET V5. The VENDLET V5 and VENDLET V5+ protect the caregiver from physical strain and heavy lifting in connection with the handling of immobile patients. Patients are turned/handled by pressing a hand control whereby the caregiver may support a patient and ensure their correct and comfortable positioning. This provides room for increased awareness in the care, which boosts employee job satisfaction and patient well-being. To the patient, the turning process becomes uniform and steady as the sheet supports the body over its full length. The target group is patients who are being cared for, dressed, washed etc. in bed. This will often be patients who are lifted in and out of bed or patients who are mobilised using a standing aid. Hence, the user will typically be a patient with few physical and/or cognitive resources and palliative patients. The VENDLET is also suitable for patients at risk of developing pressure ulcers, in that the uniform and steady transfer in the sheet minimises friction and the associated shear that can damage the tissue and cause pressure ulcers. Furthermore, the VENDLET often seems to have a positive effect on patients suffering from spatial awareness.
