With more than 30 years of experience working with healthcare professionals around the globe, Frontier Therapeutics has seen the impact pressure injuries can have on patients, healthcare professionals and care providers. In the US market alone, 2.5 million hospital patients are affected by pressure damage each year1 which means improving the implementation of preventative interventions has never been more important.
I am excited to introduce the Frontier Therapeutics team at this year’s WOCN. We understand the challenges you face daily, and we want to help.
How can we do this? With a well-established range of products that will simply and effectively support your pressure injury prevention strategy.
Come visit our booth #1128 and let us show you how the pressure’s off, providing peace of mind for patients, families and healthcare professionals:
- The Repose® range of static air, pressure redistribution and reduction support surfaces - through Randomised Control Trials, Repose reduces peak and average pressures and consistently delivers low levels of Pressure injury incidence, in a cost effective, easy to use system2-8
- The unique, patented automated patient turning platform Toto®, quietly and gently turns patients at prescribed intervals, reducing the dependency on nursing staff and care givers, providing safe patient handling around the clock
- Dermisplus® Prevent, a range of pressure redistribution pads, which can be used on intact skin, anywhere on the body to relieve pressure damage, even under medical devices
I would like to personally invite you to make an appointment or simply stop by and say hello.
