make it simpull
Many patients undergoing imaging procedures may have limited mobility, injuries, or conditions that make it unsafe for them to move independently. The SimPull was designed to help reduce the risk of injury to both patients and staff during patient transfer processes in radiology and MRI departments.
With zero lift or force required from staff, the SimPull is the first fully automated patient transfer device. Learn more about the benefits of the SimPull for your Radiology or MRI facility.
Even proper lifting techniques don’t prevent all injuries, and manual lifting, pushing and pulling can lead to repetitive motion injuries. The SimPull is fully automated and does all the heavy lifting. By reducing the physical strain on staff, it helps prevent fatigue and maintains a higher level of safety and efficiency in patient transfers.
For a radiation and MRI facility serving 25 patients per day over the course of a year, around 18,250 disposable items like covers, positioning aids and disposable mats might be used and discarded annually.
* 25 patients per day x 2 disposables per patient (1 cover + 1 positioning aid or disposable mat) X 365 days per year= 18,250 consumables
SimPull requires no consumables, and can save $2244 daily per 100 transfers using the existing bed sheet to transfer patients from bed to bed.
SimPull’s zero lift, zero force, fully automated functionality reduces the number of staff needed per transfer, drastically reduces the time required for each transfer to around 4 minutes, and can reduce injury and increase staff job satisfaction.
* Avg. Nursing Wage: $37.41/hr, 18 mins in time savings (Avg. NT/60min)*18min
SimPull can be leveraged for lateral patient transfer, supine to sitting and patient boosting in order to meet a variety of patient needs within the Radiology & MRI environment. The SimPull not only maintains patient dignity and optimizes clinical workflows, but also is improving both patient and staff safety in radiology and MRI facilities.
one device, many capabilities
Data from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration estimates back injury claims cost an average of $40,000 to $80,000 including medical bills, wage loss benefits and more. Don’t leave your Radiology or MRI facility susceptible.
The SimPull takes the need for direct care employees to manually laterally move patients from bed to bed as well as adjust patients from supine to seated with one device.
