Frequently asked questions
Does the system help with shear reduction?
Yes, the inclusion of an Anti-Shear Strap as part of the Low-Friction Glide Sheet helps minimize frictional forces on the patient’s skin, which is a critical factor in maintaining skin integrity during frequent repositioning.
Does this system assist with pressure injury prevention?
Yes, the Prevalon TAP system is specifically engineered to maintain a 30-degree side-lying position. This specific angle is widely recognized as essential for effective pressure injury prevention and enhancing overall patient safety.
Can this system support higher patient weights safely?
Absolutely. The system is built for robust performance and is rated for a significant weight capacity of 800 lbs, ensuring it provides reliable and durable support for bariatric care requirements.
Are there features to reduce caregiver physical strain?
Yes, the system includes integrated black positioning handles. These allow caregivers to perform quick, gentle microturns with significantly less physical effort compared to traditional repositioning methods.
How are the body wedges kept from shifting?
The system ensures stability through a secure, dual-layer design:
- Low-Friction Glide Sheet: Made from dermasuede, which grips the body pads effectively.
- Hook-and-Loop Fastening: The body wedges are firmly anchored directly to the glide sheet to prevent any unwanted movement.
Is this compatible with low air loss mattresses?
Yes, the Prevalon TAP Bariatric System is fully compatible with all standard low air loss mattress platforms, making it a versatile addition to existing clinical care equipment.
What items are included in the complete kit?
The system is a comprehensive kit that includes everything necessary for bariatric repositioning:
- 1 Mattress cover
- 1 Low-Friction Glide Sheet with Anti-Shear Strap
- 6 Microclimate Body Pads
- 2 30° Body Wedges
Is the system designed for non-invasive use?
Yes, the system is noninflatable. It relies on high-quality wedges and a secure strap-fastening design to maintain positioning, which simplifies setup and eliminates the need for air pumps or inflation maintenance.
Is this system suitable for home healthcare settings?
Yes, while designed for high-acuity environments like hospital wards, it is also perfectly suited for long-term care facilities and home healthcare settings where patients require consistent, professional-grade offloading.
What materials are used for the glide sheet?
The Low-Friction Glide Sheet is crafted from dermasuede. This specialized material was selected specifically for its ability to grip the microclimate body pads, ensuring they remain stationary while providing a smooth surface for patient adjustments.
