Pressure injury prevention isn't easy. HAPIs can develop at many different points in a patient’s stay, and prevention and treatment efforts require a comprehensive strategy shared between caregivers and the products used with patients.

Unfortunately, the wrong support surface can undermine the best strategy and impact outcomes.

Agiliti designs and manufactures a full portfolio of therapeutic support surfaces built to withstand the rigors of care and deliver exceptional performance – from the OR to the ED. Each product is designed using direct feedback from front-line clinicians to improve ease of use and uses advanced materials to help minimize patient safety risks, enhance comfort and promote optimal pressure redistribution.

A couple options that are designed, built and proven to prevent and treat pressure injuries:

• Capillaire™: Capillaire™ is a low‑profile, multi‑patient alternating pressure support surface that delivers dynamic pressure redistribution, clinically validated to prevent and treat perioperative pressure injuries (PI) in surgeries lasting longer than two hours. Compatible with most OR tables and stretcher platforms across surgical, perioperative and emergency care environments. https://lnkd.in/gM7R9sYK

• Adapt Line™: Adapt Convertible™, Adapt Air™, and Adapt Air Pro™ support surfaces run on one interoperable Adapt Pump™ — delivering Targeted Airflow™ microclimate management plus a pressure redistribution choice of SmartCycle™ alternating pressure or RapidSet™ immersion therapy to prevent and treat pressure injuries across acuity levels from the med/surg to the ICU. https://lnkd.in/g3h52CAm
