The BCHS Foundation is happy to announce these recent equipment purchases to benefit patient care!
Shower Bed for Complex Care. Water-resistant, mobile, and safe, it features safety side supports, soft removable mattress and head pillow, electrical height adjustment, and brakes on all four casters.
A shower bed allows patients who are immobile to be safely and comfortably transported to bathe. This increases comfort, ensures skin health, and prevents complications associated with immobility, such as bedsores and infections.
Continuous Passive Motion Limb Exerciser for Surgical. Used to help improve joint mobility and reduce pain and inflammation after surgery, the CPM Exerciser works by gently and continuously moving the affected limb through a controlled range of motion, stimulating blood flow, preventing scar tissue formation, and maintaining joint flexibility.
The CPM Exerciser benefits patients by reducing post-op pain and minimizes the chance of inflammation while helping to increase range of motion. It can also lead to a reduction in medication, earlier discharge from hospital, and less outpatient care.
