April 17, 2024- Pelstar LLC, the manufacturer behind the trusted, safe patient-handling brand Bridge Healthcare, is excited to introduce its latest innovation, the STAR (Safe Turning And Repositioning) System. Bridge Healthcare’s STAR system was designed to aid caregivers in turning and repositioning patients, a highly repeatable task for any bedside caregiver. This system significantly reduces the physical effort required to perform these tasks and saves caregivers valuable time by having the system readily available.
The STAR System is comprised of three key components – the Base (featuring a Repositioning Sheet with Handles or BridgeAIR), Foam Wedges, and BreatheDRY absorbent pad – this repositioning system equips caregivers with essential tools for seamlessly moving patients within the bed. Reducing exertion and efficiently rotating patients aid in relieving pressure on vulnerable areas, mitigating the risk of hospital-acquired pressure injuries (HAPIs). Engineered with advanced materials, the system ensures optimal breathability and high-wicking properties, facilitating effective moisture management even when not actively in use beneath the patient.
