EHOB, Inc., a leader in pressure ulcer product innovation, is introducing a new, stronger handwell design on all WAFFLE Mattress Overlays. The patent-pending,
dog-bone shaped handwells, located around the perimeter of the product, naturally contour to the hand for an easy grip and a firm hold. With the updated design, caregivers maintain a comfortable, more secure stance while moving patients.
“Good patient care is important and so is the health and well-being of the caregiver,” said Dr. James G. Spahn, founder and CEO of EHOB, Inc. “The new handwell design allows the caregiver to maintain a solid grip without putting added strain on the shoulders and back.”
The dog-bone handwells are one of a kind in the healthcare industry and have been added to all WAFFLE Brand Mattress Overlay models. The handwells offer ease of use to the caregiver when turning and mobilizing a patient. And, unique to the WAFFLE overlays, the new design also assists in patient transfers.
