Turn.aido 2000 ergonomic alternating replacement mattress system
How
ergonomic alternating replacement mattress system
Turn.aido 2000 works
Fully waterproof vapour
permeable with inboard
underneath zips to reduce
the risk of body fluids
ingress. The cover may be
sponged down with soap
and water or removed for
laundering.
Combining rotational handling and alternating
pressure relief = patient turns the easy way.
Before Turning
Nurse Efficient
Longer lasting
polyurethane air cells are
easily replaceable in the
event of damage.
To free the rotational machanism, release velcro flaps
on both sides.

• Fast and smooth – can save hours of valuable nursing time each day.
• Reduces number of nurses required for patient repositioning and
hygiene routines.
• Easier for nurses’ backs, easier for family members.
• Easier for night staff.
• Always ready for instant use.
• Makes light work of heavy patients.
Better Handling
Transport mode:
Air supply’s snap-lock
fittings can be joined
together to seal the
mattress’ air in case of
power failure, or moving
location.
Splay the patient’s furthest arm: raise nearest knee to 90˚
flexion - to help the rolling of the hips.
Air pressure equalises in the cells and the repositioning
characteristics of Turn.aido 2000 still function.

Cleaning Instructions for Turn.aido 2000
The waterproof/vapour-permeable covers can be wiped down using a
solution of neutral detergent and hot water applied with single use wipe
or can be laundered at 60˚C. Cleaning agents containing phenols and
alcohols should not be used. Cover: Fully waterproof vapour permeable
with inboard underneath zips to reduce the risk of body fluids ingress.
The cover may be sponged down with soap and water or removed for
laundering.

Grasp the cotton sheet level with the shoulders and hips. Pull the
sheet gently at 60˚ to rotate the patient to the desired angle of tilt.
The Unique triple layer design makes this action smooth and easy.
Refix velcro flaps and tidy sheets.
Turn.aido 2000 is the first replacement mattress
system to combine the proven principles of
repositioning and alternating air. This helps to prevent
and manage pressure ulcers even in
very High Risk
patients.

First Technicare is the U.K.’s leading innovator in pressure area care. As
pioneers in this field of care, we continue to build upon our reputation for
high quality, reliable and innovative products.
Patient turning is usually very costly in
nursing time: often as much as an hour in every nurse’s
shift can be spent repositioning.
Flat
Unique new feature for profiling beds
With Turn.aido 2000:-
Normally, an air replacement mattress’ pressure relieving efficiency is
compromised on a profiling bed when set up steeply:
a)The air cell level with the point of hinging and the buttocks tends to
be crowded out during its vacuumed phase by the neighbouring
pressurised air cells.
b)Compression forces between the shoulders and the thighs tend to
push the patient towards the foot board.
• Now one nurse on their own can smoothly turn a
person considerably heavier than themselves. This
also saves the time of waiting for a colleague to come
and assist.
• Turn.aido 2000’s rotational handling facility is always
ready for instant use. Time is no longer spent hunting
for other moving and handling equipment, then having
to get it in position before manoeuvring, and finally
removing it. Instead, since Turn.aido is easier to use,
your Minimal Lifting Policy is more likely to be
complied with.
However, Turn.aido 2000’s unique hinging mechanism enables the upper
mattress section to ride up the backrest, ensuring better pressure
relieving effectiveness (note distance ‘A’ and ‘C’, in pictures to right).

User friendly – designed with the carer in mind,
Turn.aido 2000 has a minimum of controls. Its
versatile and robust construction makes it an effective
choice:
As a form of repositioning, the 30˚ Tilt redistributes pressure
over a wider area than when lying supine:Studies have found that the quadriceps muscles have a better
tolerance to pressure than others as it maintains a better supply
of oxygen to the vulnerable sacrum and trochanter.
*(Seiler, Preston, Colin, Defloor, RCN, NICE, see refs 1 –59).
In addition, the 30˚ tilt
1. Improves the lymphatic flow (Bliss, (6))
2. Lowers the risk of joint pain and contractures
3. Reduces stasis in the lungs and kidneys
4. Assists in the healing of full thickness pressure ulcers
Kinder: Turning and repositioning can often cause distress
to patients asleep or in pain: with the Turn.aido 2000 there
is little touching as the turning is done smoothly via the cotton
sheet.
Turn.aido 2000
fast & ergonomic
The Turn.aido 2000
makes it easier and
quicker to perform
the 30˚ Tilt. Note
how the patient stays
along the central line
of the mattress
without rolling to the
edge. This is part of
the magic of
Turn.aido 2000.
1. Wipe clean /breatheable cover with sealed
seams to prevent ingress of contaminants.
2. 15 minute cycle offers proven effectiveness
in pressure area prevention and healing.
3. Long life / low maintenance parts reduce
maintenance time and costs.
4. Pressure set according to weight by one
control; foam underlayer assures comfort in
the event of wrong weight being set.
