The new Posey® Wireless Bed and Stretcher Sensor Pad expands the Posey wireless fall prevention portfolio with a versatile monitoring option for multiple patient support surfaces.
Designed for use on standard hospital beds, specialty mattresses, and stretchers at least 30 inches wide, the wireless bed sensor pad helps simplify product selection while supporting a more consistent approach to bed exit monitoring.
One Wireless Sensor Pad for Multiple Bed Surfaces
Patients may move between different care environments and support surfaces during their stay. That can create additional decisions for caregivers when different sensor pads are required for different mattress types.
The Posey Wireless Bed and Stretcher Sensor Pad is designed for use on:
- Standard hospital beds
- Specialty mattresses
- Stretchers at least 30 inches wide
Using one wireless bed and stretcher sensor pad across multiple surface types can help simplify product selection and create greater consistency as patients transition between care settings.
Designed to Simplify Bed Sensor Pad Setup
- The new sensor pad is designed for direct application on the mattress and includes a pre-attached Posey Grip to help simplify setup.
- The pre-attached grip removes an additional setup step and is designed to help reduce pad movement during use.
- The pad may also be used with most common accessories, allowing caregivers to incorporate it into a variety of patient care setups.
- A similar setup across hospital beds and stretchers can also help streamline staff training and day-to-day workflows.
Flexible Sensor Pad Placement
The Posey Wireless Bed and Stretcher Sensor Pad can be centered horizontally in more than one location based on the patient and care situation.
The pad may be positioned:
- Under the patient's shoulders
- Under the patient's lower back
Placement is determined by the caregiver, providing flexibility within existing facility protocols and workflows.
Developed with Clinician Feedback
The Posey Wireless Bed and Stretcher Sensor Pad was developed with feedback from working clinicians.
Its design reflects practical considerations in healthcare environments, including:
- Direct mattress application
- Pre-attached Posey Grip
- Flexible placement options
- Consistent use across multiple support surfaces
These features are designed to make the patient-monitoring sensor pad practical for professional healthcare settings.
Supporting Bed Exit Monitoring and Fall Prevention
Bed exit monitoring can be one component of a broader fall prevention program.
The Posey Wireless Bed and Stretcher Sensor Pad provides a bed exit alerting option that can complement a facility's existing fall management protocols.
A comprehensive fall prevention approach may also include:
- Fall risk assessments
- Fall risk identification
- Safe patient-transfer practices
- Environmental interventions
- Caregiver rounding
- Ongoing patient monitoring
Wireless sensor technology is designed to complement these practices rather than replace caregiver judgment or facility protocols.
Expanding the Posey Wireless Fall Prevention Portfolio
The new wireless bed sensor pad broadens the Posey wireless sensor portfolio by extending wireless patient monitoring across more patient support surfaces.
Alongside other Posey wireless sensor solutions, like the wireless chair sensor pad, and the wireless toilet sensor, the new pad gives facilities additional flexibility when building or expanding a wireless fall monitoring approach.
The portfolio is designed to support caregivers across different patient locations, room configurations, and monitoring needs while helping promote greater consistency in product setup and selection.
Key Benefits of the Posey Wireless Bed and Stretcher Sensor Pad
The new sensor pad brings several practical benefits together in one solution:
- Versatile: One sensor pad for standard beds, specialty mattresses, and qualifying stretchers.
- Simple: Direct mattress application with a pre-attached Posey Grip.
- Flexible Placement: Multiple placement options based on caregiver determination.
- Consistent: Similar setup across different support surfaces.
- Practical: Developed with feedback from working clinicians.
- Complementary: Adds another surface-monitoring support option to a broader fall management program.
