The Posey StaySafe Bed helps to reduce patient injury from in-hospital falls;
the complete, enclosed-bed solution now is available in Holland, France, and
Germany, with others to follow; Posey Company officially will debut the
product next week at MEDICA in Germany.
ARCADIA, Calif., Nov. 12 /PRNewswire/ -- The Posey Company, a leader in the
design and manufacture of innovative and reliable patient safety solutions,
today officially announced the availability of the Posey StaySafe(TM) Bed,
Model 8080, for European markets. The bed has been designed for sale in
Holland, France, and Germany; sales to additional European country markets
will follow. Posey makes the announcement in advance of its participation next
week at MEDICA, the world's largest medical trade fair, in Düsseldorf,
Germany.
Presently in its 40th year, MEDICA meets annually to connect thought and
practice leaders in the medical industry, from patient caregivers to solution
providers. From November 18-21, 2009, MEDICA expects to host thousands of
exhibitors and more than 100,000 attendees from nearly 100 countries. MEDICA
Congress, a leading European medical education event, will run strategically
alongside MEDICA.
Of growing importance around the globe is the development of protocols and
products to ensure in-hospital patient safety. For patients who are
disoriented or debilitated, the Posey StaySafe Bed offers a secure, reliable,
and managed environment for both the patient and caregiver. A less-restrictive
option for patients at risk of injury due to a fall or unassisted bed exit,
the complete bed system includes an electric bed, frame, mattress, and canopy
that zips around the area and yet does not inhibit patient in-bed movement or
caregiver access.
Mark Beran, Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing of the Posey Company,
said, "The Posey StaySafe Bed delivers peace of mind to both the patient and
the caregiver. The combined ability to access a patient easily, allow a
patient relative freedom of movement, and yet also better assure patient
safety from injury, makes the StaySafe Bed an industry-leading offering and we
are proud to announce its availability in Europe."
Benedikt Hupkes, Sales Manager, KREWI Medical Products, a Posey partner in
Germany, said, "The European medical community has demonstrated a clear need
for a viable, quality patient-injury solution such as the Posey StaySafe Bed.
With Model 8080, such a highly functional and reliable product now is readily
available to German, Dutch, and French hospitals and long-term care providers.
We look forward to placing the bed into service immediately."
Ernie Posey, CEO and President of the Posey Company, said, "Posey products
effectively integrate patient care with flexibility. The company was founded
on the premise that simple, comprehensive solutions such as the Posey StaySafe
Bed can work to help reverse negative patient injury trends around the world
-- and they do."
The Posey Company will be exhibiting at MEDICA. On display will be an array of
Posey Company patient safety solutions, including the Posey StaySafe Bed. More
