Frequently asked questions

Does the system help with shear reduction?

Does this system assist with pressure injury prevention?
<p>Yes, the Prevalon TAP system is specifically engineered to maintain a <strong>30-degree side-lying position</strong>. This specific angle is widely recognized as essential for effective pressure injury prevention and enhancing overall patient safety.</p>

Are there features to reduce caregiver physical strain?
<p>Yes, the system includes <strong>integrated black positioning handles</strong>. These allow caregivers to perform quick, gentle microturns with significantly less physical effort compared to traditional repositioning methods.</p>
How are the body wedges kept from shifting?
<p>The system ensures stability through a secure, dual-layer design:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Low-Friction Glide Sheet:</strong> Made from dermasuede, which grips the body pads effectively.</li>
<li><strong>Hook-and-Loop Fastening:</strong> The body wedges are firmly anchored directly to the glide sheet to prevent any unwanted movement.</li>
</ul>

</ul>
Is the system designed for non-invasive use?
