New Bed Attachment Straps Enhance Stability and Safety, Addressing Key Concerns of Healthcare Professionals in Patient Handling and Repositioning
McCook, IL September 30, 2024 Bridge Healthcare by Pelstar, a leader in Safe Patient Handling solutions, is proud to announce the latest addition to its BridgeAIR portfolio with the launch of the BridgeAIR+Connect. This new product enhancement is a direct response to feedback from healthcare professionals and is designed to make patient transfers and repositioning safer and more efficient.
The BridgeAIR+Connect is a breathable air-assisted lateral transfer and repositioning mattress that now includes bed attachment straps, a key feature that secures the mattress to the bed frame or stretcher when not in use. This addition addresses a significant need expressed by nurses and caregivers—the ability to keep the mattress safely in place when the head of the bed/stretcher is elevated, reducing the risk of the mattress sliding down when not inflated.
“At Bridge Healthcare, we take pride in listening closely to the needs of the healthcare professionals who rely on our products every day,” said Anthony Febbraro, Director of Safe Patient Handling at Pelstar. “The BridgeAIR+Connect was developed with direct input from nurses and caregivers who asked for a solution that not only improves safety but also makes their jobs easier. We’re excited to deliver a product that does both.”
This enhancement is part of Bridge Healthcare’s ongoing commitment to innovate based on customer feedback, ensuring the products they deliver are always evolving to meet the demands of modern healthcare environments. The BridgeAIR+Connect not only improves patient safety, but also provides peace of mind for nurses and caregivers who are focused on delivering the best care possible.
