At PRIMO, we move people.

Our Safe Patient Handling portfolio ensures comfort for patients while delivering safe protocols for staff.

Bedside nursing is a tough job. An average, bedside nurses lift a cumulative 3,600 pounds every single shift. Without safe patient handling protocols, the nursing staff is at increased risk of musculoskeletal injuries. PRIMO Safe Patient Handling products are designed to reduce the load on caregivers, ensure staff are present and healthy, and create an overall safer working environment.

Air-Assisted Lateral Transfer

Surface-to-surface transfers are high-risk moves.

OSHA identifies patient transfers and repositioning tasks as major sources of overexertion injury in healthcare. PRIMO Air-Lateral Transfer solutions use air-assisted technology to help caregivers move patients from one surface to another with less force, less friction, and more control.

Turning and Repositioning

Turning is routine. Staff strain should not be.

OSHA specifically identifies repositioning patients side to side in bed and lifting a patient in bed as high-risk handling tasks. PRIMO turnsheets help caregivers turn and reposition patients more efficiently, helping reduce physical demand during one of the most frequent movements in care.
