PROTECTS™
Pressure Redistribution Optimized Timing Enhances Caregiver & Therapeutic Support
Pressure Redistribution Optimized Timing Enhances Caregiver & Therapeutic Support
Pressure injuries remain a persistent and costly challenge in long-term care, home care, and hospice settings.
Despite existing mattress technologies, patients who cannot reposition independently often require frequent manual turning. This creates ongoing risk of pressure injuries while placing significant physical strain on caregivers.
The result is increased injury risk, labor-intensive workflows, and preventable complications for both patients and care providers.
PROTECTS™ is a distributed pressure redistribution concept designed to support therapeutic care environments by varying support conditions over time.
The system is intended to build upon existing pressure redistribution technologies by introducing optimized timing strategies that reduce prolonged peak pressure while supporting established caregiving workflows.
PROTECTS™ is positioned as a complementary innovation intended for integration with existing care environments and therapeutic support surfaces.
PROTECTS™ is protected by a filed U.S. provisional patent application.
The system was conceived by a U.S. Air Force and Army aviation veteran and FAA-licensed Airframe & Powerplant technician with decades of experience in safety-critical mechanical systems and quality oversight.
The concept is informed by both professional experience and firsthand exposure to the challenges faced by bedfast patients and caregivers.
