“We are thrilled to receive this award and honored that our product has been recognized as valuable and groundbreaking for the current marketplace,” said Tara Psencik, CEO of Turn Medical. “We have taken the time to listen to the voices of clinicians and supply chain partners around the country and are confident that we address many gaps in the critical care space with our innovative and automated technology.”
The Pronova-O2 system is a readily available solution to significant hospital issues such as pressure injuries, nurse burnout, staffing inadequacies, and limited automated options for safely positioning critically ill patients. Asking nurses and other bedside clinicians to manually move patients in and out of the prone position continues to put both nurses and patients at risk for injury. With more than one third of nurses currently leaving the bedside, the need has increased for solutions which reduce manual processes and create efficiencies in healthcare.
Pronova-O2’s InteliDerm™ Powered Skin Protection System is a significant advancement in the care of patients in the prone position. This unique system is the first product of its kind in the prone positioning space, providing active airflow to the patient’s face and chest to reduce temperature and moisture accumulation at the skin surface – two key factors in reducing pressure injury risk.
Additional key features of the Pronova-O2 system include:
- Integrated surface components providing efficient patient transfers and superior protection against caregiver and patient injury compared to other automated proning devices on the market
- A user interface designed by input from critical care nurses to allow for rapid product competency and implementation
- Weight capacity for patients up to 400 lbs
