VENDLET

VENDLET is a unique mechanic turning system for moving and handling of clients and patients with limited resources.  

VENDLET consists of a slide sheet, a turning sheet, a hand control and two motorized bars mounted on each side of the bed. By using the hand control, the sheet is tightened around the bars, thereby moving or turning the client.

What is VENDLET used for?

VENDLET is used in a variety of different moving and handling situations, for example:

• Repositioning clients to lateral, prone or supine position for personal care, examinations, positioning purposes or when applying a sling
• Moving the client from one side of the bed to the other or in and out of bed
• Repositioning the client up in the bed if they slide down during the night
• Transferring the client from one bed to another

Advantages of using VENDLET

VENDLET provides significant advantages to caregivers, as it improves their work health and safety, thereby reducing the risk of work injuries and sick leave. It is also an advantage for clients, who experiences greater comfort, independence and dignity. And finally, by implementing VENDLET it is possible to optimize the daily use of resources considerably.

Work Health and Safety

When using VENDLET, caregivers are spared the physical strain and heavy lifting when handling bedridden clients. Using the system also increases the well-being of both client and caregiver.

Patient Comfort

When VENDLET is used, the client experiences turning as more uniform and calm. Being turned feels more comfortable as the sheet supports the entire body. Simultaneously, the caregiver can support the client and secure correct and comfortable positioning.

Use of resources

By implementing VENDLET it is possible to optimize the use of resources because the caregiver in most cases can work alone with the client. This simplifies planning the daily care. Simultaneously, the use of VENDLET results in fewer and more simple work procedures, allowing resources to be used elsewhere.

In addition to efficiency elements using VENDLET reduces absenteeism due to work injuries and MSD.

Target group

The target groups for the VENDLET system are:

• Bedridden clients or patients with few physiological and/or cognitive resources and palliative patients
• Clients and patients that receive personal care, are dressed etc., in bed
• Clients and patients at risk of developing pressure ulcers (the uniform and calm transfer in the sheet, minimizes friction and thus minimizing shear, which can lead to tissue damage and pressure ulcers)
• Clients and patients that are cognitively challenges, for instance due to Alzheimers, as VENDLET has proved to have positive effects on these clients
• Bariatric clients and patients – weighing up to 400 kg (VENDLET Bari)
