What happens when a Repose Mattress Overlay needs top-up inflation but your patient is already in-situ?
In pressure area care, the smallest changes to a care process can make a meaningful difference.
The Repose Mattress Overlay has been designed to provide effective pressure redistribution using Repose’s proven static air technology. But care doesn’t stand still. Patients move, environments change and, during use, there may be occasions when a Repose Mattress Overlay requires additional inflation.
What do you do when the patient is already on the surface?
With the introduction of the Repose ePump, the answer is simple.
Top up with the patient in-situ.
Introducing Patient-On Inflation™
The Repose ePump has been developed specifically for the Repose range, introducing a new capability for healthcare professionals using the Repose Mattress Overlay with Patient-On-Inflation™.
Where top-up inflation is required, the Repose ePump allows the Repose Mattress Overlay to be inflated with the patient remaining in-situ.
There is no need to move the patient off the Repose Mattress Overlay simply to perform top-up inflation.
Patient stays on.
Connect the Repose ePump.
Repose reaches optimal inflation.
It is a simple evolution in how Repose can be used, designed around the realities of delivering patient care.
Why does Patient-On-Inflation™ matter?
Moving a patient isn't always a simple task.
Depending on the individual and care environment, moving or transferring a patient may require additional time, staff and coordination. It can also introduce unnecessary disruption for the patient.
When the purpose of that movement is simply to top up the inflation of their pressure redistribution surface, there is an opportunity to rethink the process.
Patient-On-Inflation™ does exactly that.
Rather than adapting the patient around the product, the Repose ePump allows the product to better fit around the delivery of care.
Designed for Repose, by Repose.
The Repose ePump isn't simply an electronic air pump.
It has been developed specifically for Repose and works alongside the Smart Valve Technology within the Repose range to support inflation to the required pressure.
For the Repose Mattress Overlay, that means bringing together to create a simple inflation experience designed specifically around the Repose range.
The underlying principles of Repose remain unchanged. The innovation is in how healthcare professionals can interact with the product when additional inflation is required.
Keeping care in place
Healthcare innovation doesn't always need to mean completely redesigning a therapy. Sometimes innovation is about looking closely at what happens around that therapy.
Where are the additional steps?
Where are healthcare professionals having to adapt?
Where could a process be made simpler?
And where could technology remove an unnecessary interruption to care?
Patient-On Inflation™ is one example.
When a Repose Mattress Overlay requires top-up inflation, the patient can remain where they are while Repose ePump supports the surface back to optimal inflation.
No transfer purely for top-up inflation.
No unnecessary interruption.
Just Repose, ready to continue supporting the patient.
The Next Evolution of Repose
For decades, Repose has been built around a simple principle, effective pressure redistribution delivered through intelligent, easy-to-use technology. The Repose ePump takes that philosophy forward. Not by changing what makes Repose effective, but by making it easier to manage Repose around the patient.
For healthcare professionals already using the Repose Mattress Overlay, Patient-On-Inflation™ introduces a simple new way to manage top-up inflation. For patients, it means something even simpler. They can stay where they are already comfortable.
Patient-On-Inflation™
Optimal inflation. With the patient in situ.
