Heel Prevention BundleMepilex® Border Sacrum I Tortoise® Turning & Positioning System | Z-Flo™ Fluidized Positioner
The Sacrum Prevention Bundle combines the capabilities of Mepilex® Border Sacrum, Tortoise® Turning & Positioning System and Z-Flo™ Fluidized Positioner to deliver a powerful defense against sacral pressure injuries. Mepilex Border Sacrum lowers HAPI rates and reduces overall costs, with a proven reduction of per-patient treatment costs and substantial savings1.
The Tortoise Turning & Positioning System provides exceptional support and comfort during patient repositioning, reducing the risk of sacral pressure injuries. The Z-Flo Fluidized Positioner will maintain its shape and the patient's position over time2 which can redistribute pressure and shear away from the sacral area.
Mepilex Border Sacrum
Mepilex Border Sacrum is designed to lower sacral pressure injury rates and reduce treatment costs. It has demonstrated a remarkable 64% savings within a cohort of 1.03 million patients, with a reduction of $77 per patient1. This cost reduction, coupled with its efficacy, makes it a valuable asset in preventing pressure injuries on the sacrum.
Tortoise Turning & Positioning System
The Tortoise Turning & Positioning System offers next-generation performance in safe patient handling. It provides exceptional support and comfort during repositioning, reducing the risk of sacral pressure injuries.
Tortoise is a support surface that facilitates pressure redistribution through envelopment. It also aids in turning patients and the Tortoise mat together with the Z‑Flo Fluidized Positioner will protect the patient by keeping them in the desired position over time2.
Z-Flo Fluidized Positioner
Provides the ability to completely offload the heels by allowing the heels to ‘float’ and redistribute pressure along the lower legs.
Z-Flo Fluidized Positioner increases the contact surface area and conforms to the patient's body, responding three-dimensionally without predisposition to any shape.
