Taking the strain out of bariatric care

David Southern, managing director at Spirit Access, outlines the pathway to value and explains why he believes that commercial models of UK pharma companies need to change.

Healthcare product specialist Joerns has successfully concluded testing and development of its complete bariatric care system with the assistance of Barry Austin. Combining the 60st SWL of the Oxford Calibre patient lift, a specifically designed range of slings and a heavy duty adjustable bed, Joerns claims to provide an optimum moving and handling bariatric package for acute wards.

The Oxford Calibre patient lift was launched in 2011 and represents a revolution in bariatric care. This impressive hoist which is already delivering results for many acute wards across the UK has been fully tested with a specialist range of large patient slings which are unique to Joerns.

During an extensive R&D phase and clinical trials in real life simulations, Joerns were able to conclude the optimum sling design for bariatric patients. These slings with a 60 stone capacity are available today along with a highly flexible sleeping platform and Calibre mobile lift for reduced handling risks and improved patient care.
