Reduce Staff Injuries with Lighter Weight Patient Positioners
AliBlue™ Lite Hybrid gel positioners are up to 50% lighter, delivering conforming support that helps protect patients and reduce staff strain.
In a single shift, nurses and surgical staff perform countless lifting, positioning, and support tasks that can place significant strain on the body. Repeated handling of patients and medical equipment contributes to fatigue and increases the risk of musculoskeletal injuries, making it essential for healthcare facilities to evaluate the tools used in everyday care. Nursing staff are three times more likely to experience work-related back injuries than laborers, and approximately 31% of nurses sustain a musculoskeletal injury each year. Nurses are also twice as likely to suffer back injuries compared with other healthcare workers, underscoring the physical demands of daily patient handling.
Patient positioners are critical in surgical and procedural environments because they promote proper alignment, enhance stability, and support patient comfort. However, traditional all gel positioners can be heavy and difficult for staff to lift, transport, and set up throughout the day.
AliMed’s AliBlue™ Lite Hybrid gel positioners are designed to address both patient protection and staff safety through innovative lightweight patient support. Built with a unique blend of viscoelastic memory foam and proprietary AliBlue gel, these positioners provide conforming support that helps stabilize fragile patients while delivering the pressure protection clinicians expect.
AliBlue™ Lite Hybrid gel positioners are up to 50 percent lighter than all gel positioners, helping reduce staff injuries related to lifting while making daily setup more manageable. They also provide protection against shear and pressure injuries and are ideal for long and complex procedures where dependable positioning is essential.
By combining gel and foam technologies, AliBlue™ Lite Hybrid positioners deliver premium positioning that is easier to lift without sacrificing performance, comfort, or safety. This thoughtful design helps facilities support caregiver wellbeing while maintaining high standards of patient protection.
