Our unique expertise in functional ergonomics, patient handling and lifting devices means that we can provide the market’s widest programme of products and services to help achieve Safe Backs.
Nursing is one of the most dangerous professions of our time. Studies show that the risk percentage of developing a musculoskeletal injury during the course of a nursing career is close to 80 %.
With the technology available today, there is really no reason a healthcare staff member should be injured on the job due to moving and handling patients. The electric profiling beds and sophisticated patient lifts combined with a greater understanding of functional ergonomics should allow us to eliminate this age-old phenomenon.
Hill-Rom is on a mission to save nurses backs and prevent these avoidable injuries.
