EasyShift™ Repositioning System

EasyShift Solution is high tech and low touch. Healthcare professionals can electronically reposition a patient safely and effectively while maintaining patient dignity, privacy, and safety.

A patient repositioning device that simultaneously ensures patient and staff safety.

Designed and developed by clinicians and engineers through the biomedical engineering and nursing schools at Duke University, our innovative inflatable patient turning device boosts and repositions patients at the push of a button. The EasyShift™ solution is a mattress overlay that works with leading hospital beds and mattresses to improve patient outcomes, limit staff injury and manage financial outcomes.

Prevent Staff Injury

  • Virtually eliminates the two leading causes of caregiver back strain in the hospital (boosting and turning)
  • Integrates with other mobility devices – easily turn a patient of size to place a sling or transfer pad
  • Pre-installed on the existing bed and mattress – always available when needed by the caregiver

Ensure Patient Safety

  • Makes it easier for nursing staff to turn patients frequently to manage pressure injuries
  • Makes it easier for nursing staff to boost patients up in bed frequently to manage respiratory complications
  • Gentle, continuous inflation process protects patients with compromised skin by reducing rapid shear forces that can occur during manual repositioning

Reduce Financial Liability

  • Reduce worker’s compensation payout
  • Reduce time off work due to back injury
  • Retain nursing staff
  • Improve staff productivity
  • Reduce payment penalties due to patient hospital-acquired skin injury

Patient Turning Devices Keep Patients and Nursing Staff Safe

Assistive devices can facilitate pressure redistribution and reduce shear forces during patient repositioning to mitigate the consequences of immobility (such as deep tissue shear) on bony prominences such as the sacrum, coccyx, and heels. Air mattress overlays and mobility equipment can perform the heavy lifting for nursing staff, improving nurse productivity and reducing nurse musculoskeletal injuries and nursing worker’s compensation liability. This increases early in-bed mobility for patients to improve circulation, promotes recovery, and decreases length of stay.

Without assistive devices, patients with compromised skin can suffer skin tears, lacerations and abrasions caused by shear forces and acceleration forces during manual positioning. This is a key part of skin breakdown which are considered “Never Events” and can negatively impact CMS reimbursement for hospitals.

Micro-Turning in 10 seconds

Even small, frequent changes to the positioning of an immobile patient are beneficial for preventing skin breakdown. With EasyShift, 5 – 10 seconds of “micro-turning” can be integrated into a caregiver’s workflow without calling other staff for assistance. This relieves pressure on bony prominences to improve patient comfort and reduce the risk of pressure injuries.
