Rotation / Positioning

These products are ideal for patients with limited mobility, individuals recovering from surgery or illness, those at risk of developing pressure ulcers, and people requiring respiratory or postural support. Caregivers, nurses, and therapists also benefit from safer manual handling processes.

Rotation systems, such as the Mediair Turn, automatically reposition patients at set intervals to reduce prolonged pressure on vulnerable areas like the sacrum, heels, and shoulders. This offloads pressure, promotes healthy circulation, and supports skin integrity, key factors in preventing pressure injuries.

Yes. Our range of rotation and positioning products are designed for both clinical and homecare environments. Compact, user-friendly options are available for family caregivers and community health teams, ensuring safe and effective care outside of hospital settings.

Consider the patient’s mobility level, clinical condition, skin integrity risk, and care environment. Consulting with a qualified professional such as a tissue viability nurse or occupational therapist, can help identify the most appropriate product for optimal outcomes.

A rotating or lateral-turning mattress system, such as those offered by Meditec Medical, should be considered for individuals at very high risk of pressure injuries, particularly those who are bedbound, immobile, or managing respiratory conditions. 

These advanced systems automatically reposition the individual by gently rotating them side to side at regular intervals. This not only helps redistribute pressure and protect skin integrity but also provides added respiratory and caregiving support. 

At Risk to Very High Risk of Pressure Ulcers 
Ideal for individuals with severe immobility, a history of pressure injuries, or those unable to tolerate frequent manual repositioning. 

Respiratory Support Needs 
Lateral rotation can aid in clearing lung secretions, improving pulmonary function, and helping prevent complications such as pneumonia. 

Total or Near-Total Immobility 
Patients who cannot reposition themselves, even with assistance, benefit from automated turning, which maintains tissue perfusion and reduces skin breakdown. 

Caregiver Support 
These systems relieve the burden of frequent manual turning, which is especially valuable in care homes, hospitals, or where staffing is limited.
