VENDLET

VENDLET is a completely unique electro-mechanic turning system for moving and handling the bedridden patient 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 pressing the hand control, the sheet is tightened around the bars, so the patient is moved or turned around. 

What is VENDLET used for?

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

• Repositioning the patient to lateral, prone or supine position for hygiene, examination, positioning purposes and applying a sling, etc.
• Moving the patient from one side of the bed to the other.
• Repositioning the patient up in the bed.
• Transferring the patient from one bed to another.

The advantages of using VENDLET

VENDLET is an advantage for the care-givers, as it improves the work health and safety situation significantly. It is also an advantage for the client, 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, care-givers are spared the physical strain and heavy lifting when handling bedridden clients. Using the system also increases the well-being of both client and care-giver.

Patient Comfort

When VENDLET is used, the bedridden client experiences turning as more uniform and calm. Turning feels more comfortable as the sheet supports the entire body. Simultaneously, the care-giver can support the bedridden clients and secure correct and comfortable positioning.

Use of resources

By implementing VENDLET it is possible to optimize the use of resources because the care-giver 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 is:

• Bedridden clients or patients with few physiological and/or cognitive resources and palliative patients.
• Clients and patients who in bed receive care, hygiene, are dressed, etc.
• Clients and patients at risk of pressure ulcers as 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 who have issues with space and direction awareness, as VENDLET often have proved to have a positive effect on this group of patients.
• Bedridden bariatric clients and patients – weighing up to 400 kg (VENDLET V5S+)

VENDLET models

The older VENDLET models, VENDLET HC-2, VENDLET V4 and VENDLET V4+ are no longer on the market. However, it is still possible to purchase spare parts for these models.
