Every Intensive Care Unit (ICU) is different. But every ICU moves fast and shares common challenges.
What If You Could AIM for More in the Critical Care?
When patients need you, you’re there. When the stakes are high, you’re on. And when action is needed, you’re ready. To perform at the consistent high levels the ICU demands, you need equipment designed specifically for your critical care realities.
We can help assess, implement technical solutions, and mobilize ICU patients from proning to walking.
See the True Flexibility in the ICU
In the ICU the care team needs to flex and shift on a moment's — and they need equipment that can help them to do it. We design our ICU solutions to support the unique needs of the most critical patients — and the hard-working clinicians caring for them.

Potential complications in the ICU due to patient immobility may result in:
Potential complications in the ICU due to patient immobility may result in:
Pulmonary Complications
Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) in the ICU can result in 13.56 days of extra length of stay and can have an additional cost of EUR 20,965.28 per VAP episode.1
Potential complications in the ICU due to patient immobility may result in:
Pressure Ulcers
Patients in the ICU are extremely prone to developing pressure ulcers. Pressure ulcers cause pain and disability, compromise the quality of life, and extend the lengh of hospital stay by an average of 5-8 days per pressure injury.2
Potential complications in the ICU due to patient immobility may result in:
Musculoskeletal Complications
Among critically ill patients, muscle wasting occurred early and rapidly during the first week of critical illness.3
Potential complications in the ICU due to patient immobility may result in:
Neurological Complications
Delirium is a form of acute brain disfunction that is common during critical illness and has consistently been shown to be associated with death and may be associated with long term cognitive impairment.4
We help you to accelerate patient recovery through our clinical programs designed to promote patient mobility in the ICU.
Early mobility in the ICU aids critically ill patients in accelerating their recovery. To facilitate early mobility, we provide an evidence-based 5-step protocol. Reach out to us today to obtain free access to this program.
