The fine line between restraint and stabilisation

HSO Solutions: Safety for staff and patients

When patients require support for more stability during their treatment or because of their physical condition, nurses, physiotherapists and doctors often walk a fine line between restraint and stabilisation. Consideration must be given to protecting the patients as well as to protecting the nursing staff. 
ThoraXsafe was developed as a stabilisation product together with de-escalation experts, intensive care staff and physiotherapists and is being continually improved through constant feedback talks with users.


This is what people in your field are saying about ThoraXsafe:

WE NEED A SUITABLE PRODUCT FOR THE STABILISATION OF PATIENTS. 

There is a clear need among staff in hospitals and nursing institutions for stability support. So far, however, no solution has been certified to provide a certain legal framework instead of the usual grey area. ThoraXsafe is THE alternative with many additional possible uses and numerous benefits for you!

  • ThoraXsafe is certified and is delivered only following training that complies with the Austrian Medical Devices Act (MPG).
  • ThoraXsafe is quick and easy to use.
  • The belt system is the gentlest solution for stabilising your patients.
  • Readjustments are quick and easy thanks to the Velcro straps. 

 

WE NEED STABILISATION AND PROTECTIVE MEASURES DURING TREATMENT AND CARE IN A SITTING POSITION. 

ThoraXsafe offers numerous possibilities for stabilising or mobilising patients either lying down or in a sitting position. 
The usual pelvic harness is difficult to apply by oneself and often requires the assistance of a colleague. The patients are stabilised in the pelvic area, but they are not protected from falling over forwards as the thorax is not supported. The harness may also lead to uncomfortable pressure for the patient because it can cut into their belly. ThoraXsafe gives you the possibility of stabilising the patients in the pelvic area while also supporting the upper body using a second ThoraXsafe set. This makes it impossible for patients to slide down or fall over forwards.
ThoraXsafe offers the best possible level of comfort, with a soft padding that makes it nearly impossible to cut into the patient. Even when used as merely a temporary measure without long-term application, ThoraXsafe promises the highest level of comfort. Patients must be constantly supervised during use.
Users benefit because ThoraXsafe is easy to use. And it offers stabilisation in different positions in just a single certified product.
