VENDLET Bari is an assistive device for moving and handling bariatric patients in bed. The patient turning system relieves the task of turning and repositioning obese clients, while also improving the quality of care, providing a more gentle and comfortable repositioning.
Safe Working Load: 400 kg.
Moving and handling bariatric patients present a great challenge and risk for healthcare workers. However, using the powered patient turning system with a safe working load of 400 kilos (800 pounds), it is possible to turn bariatric clients in bed without added force from the healthcare staff, who are instead turning the client by the press of a button.
Any heavy lifting or strain on staff is eliminated from the moving and handling situation, which makes the care situation manageable and safe for both parties. This means, that the client does not feel like a burden for the staff, meanwhile, the staff can turn and reposition the bariatric client without risk to their health and safety. This ensures more dignified care.
For many obese patients, it is uncomfortable to lie in the supine position because it blocks the airways making it harder to breathe. However, using the patient turning aid, it is possible to turn the patient while the backrest is elevated. This makes for a more comfortable experience for the bariatric patient that maintains their normal respiratory function even when being turned or repositioned.
When using the patient turning system, VENDLET Bari, it is possible to adjust the speed of the system to suit the client and the healthcare worker’s needs. The system can run at normal, medium, or slow speed. The latter can be beneficial for both client and staff as there is plenty of time to gently reposition the fatty tissue.
The bariatric patient turning aid consists of two motorized bars that are mounted on each side of the bed and are operated by hand control. To turn a bariatric client from supine to side-lying position, simply raise one bar and tighten the sheet. As the system turns the client, gently position their arms and legs as needed.
Heavily obese or bariatric patients who need any sort of assistance with moving or turning in bed, or who receive any type of care while they are in bed
When the bars are left up, the VENDLET Bari patient turning system functions as a build-in bed rail, which has been tested and approved by an independent test institute (TÜV).
Whether to leave the bed rail up or down is up to a clinical evaluation of the client’s needs.
This assistive device for bariatric patients can be mounted on most care beds in hospitals, care homes or nursing homes, and in the client’s own home.
VENDLET Bari is compliant with the Medical Device Regulation (MDR 2017/745) and the Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive (EMC 60601-1-2). The bed rail is tested and approved per ISO 60601-2-52. Sheets for VENDLET are OEKO-TEX certified.
