Preventing Pressure Ulcers: The Role of Automatic Lateral Turning Systems

Discover how the Levabo Turn All® Automatic Lateral Turning System (ALTS) is transforming pressure ulcer prevention in care homes. Our detailed white paper presents findings from a 12-week trial conducted across three UK care homes, comparing the effectiveness of the Levabo Turn All® with manual repositioning.

 

The study focused on residents with dementia, complex health needs, and those receiving palliative care – groups at high risk of pressure ulcers due to limited mobility and frailty.

Cost Savings

Demonstrated savings of approximately £230 daily (£1,610 weekly) per care home due to reduced manual repositioning and fewer ulcer treatments.

Improved Pressure Ulcer Prevention

The care homes in the trial saw significant reduction in pressure ulcers, including complete healing of a Grade 4 ulcer within 12 weeks.

Reduced Caregiver Workload

Levabo Turn All saved caregivers approximately 2 hours per resident per day.
