Sidhil Driving Innovation At Arab Health

On show will be the brand new Innov8 iQ ward bed with split siderails, designed to meet the ever-increasing challenges of the hospital environment and satisfying the highest standards for safety and reliability. This high specification bed is now suitable for specialist areas and high dependent CCU and HDU patients as well as general ward applications, and features a brand new development in the shape of electronic castors, achieving new levels of safety and performance.

Developed with patient safety in mind, the new bed features a low mattress platform height to assist with falls prevention strategies. The side rails are cleverly designed to drop to a lower level than the mattress platform, ensuring patient egress and ingress is safe and unhindered, whilst built-in dampers ensure they lower at a measured rate for maximum levels of safety.

Also on show will be Sidhil’s Artemis, a fully automatic dynamic mattress with a range of high end functions to support acute care needs in hospitals, care homes and the community. Artemis offers a choice of therapies including alternating, pulsation and constant low pressure for underweight/paediatric patients. The mattress is zoned into head, body and heel sections for enhanced shear and friction protection, with narrower cells at the heels to alleviate peak pressures.

Accommodating Very High Risk patients up to and including Grade IV pressure ulcers, Artemis is truly dynamic, incorporating automatic and intuitive pressure adjustment, with internal pressures determined by the individual patient’s weight. Constant monitoring enables pressures to change automatically to accommodate the changing movement and positioning of the patient.

Alongside Artemis, Sidhil will also be demonstrating a totally new development in the fight against pressure ulcers, never seen before in the Middle East. M.A.P™ (Monitor, Alert, Protect) is an intelligent pressure distribution monitoring system using a pressure sensing mat to provide 24/7 data on pressure levels developing between the patient and the support surface.

The outer layer of this mat consists of a medical grade biocompatible material which houses thousands of sensing points capable of accurately imaging the body of the patient lying on the support surface.

This information is sent to a monitor attached to the mat, where it is displayed as a real time, colour coded high resolution image, with areas of high pressure clearly delineated in red and orange, and lower pressure areas showing as green and blue.

This real time visual ‘pressure map’ gives care staff accurate detail on each individual patient, enabling them to alter the patient’s position accordingly to reduce pressure and therefore reduce the potential for pressure ulcers. Micro movements can reduce pressures dramatically, which is particularly effective for patients where full body repositioning or even turning may be restricted.

Sidhil looks forward to welcoming representatives from the company’s growing Middle Eastern distributor base to the stand.
