The positioning to prevent pressure ulcers, making the bed, patient hygiene and skin care, changing incontinence pads, post-operative drains – all of these procedures require the patient to be turned onto their sides. However, turning a patient onto their side in the traditional way can mean applying considerable physical exertion resulting in the risk of potential long term injuries. Therefore, Linet developed Latera Thema – an adjustable electric bed with a lateral tilt which assists with the turning of the patient using minimal physical exertion.
