Turning and positioning aid MobiTurn® makes inpatient and home care easier

Funke Medical is expanding its product range with the MobiTurn® turning and positioning aid, which can be used both in inpatient and home care. The new product is an ideal aid for professional and back-friendly positioning of immobile patients. It is now available in medical stores and is listed in the list of medical aids of the GKV-Spitzenverband with the aid number 22.29.01.2077, so that the costs can be covered by the health insurance companies if there is a corresponding indication and a doctor's prescription.

In addition to products for decubitus prophylaxis and therapy, Funke Medical GmbH's product range also includes seating and mobility aids, as well as ergonomic seating systems for dentistry and orthopaedics. The essential basis of Funke Medical's high-quality foam-based product solutions is its long-standing and well-founded knowledge of medical lying, seating and positioning systems, which flows into the continuous development of new products. The MobiTurn® turning and positioning aid is the latest innovation of Funke Medical GmbH.

The MobiTurn® facilitates turning and positioning of patients with severe physical limitations.
Although back problems have become a common disease, nurses in particular suffer from it due to their workload.

According to the Employer's Liability Insurance for Health and Welfare Services, two out of three nurses suffer from back pain, which leads to an average of 21 days of absence from work per year. Tools such as the MobiTurn® help to prevent such problems and at the same time make care as comfortable as possible for the patients. The ergonomic shape of the turning and positioning aid helps to bring immobile persons safely and painlessly in bed from the supine to the side position. This makes positioning easier for the caregiver or caring family members and enables back-friendly and effortless work. User-friendly product features flank the function of the MobiTurn®: the entire product is autoclavable and the removeable cover is washable, wipe disinfectant resistant and suitable for disinfection with chlorine. Its bi-elastic cover also helps to further minimise shear forces during use.
