PENGUIN SUPPORT
Patient Positioning Support Device
The Penguin Support is a positioning device that is used to change the position of patients to lateral recumbent and adjust their sleeping position. By attaching the Penguin Support to the bed's side-rail or another stationary object, patients can be kept in the lateral recumbent position temporarily. This enables caregivers to complete tasks such as changing diapers and cleaning of the patient easily and safely.
USING THE PENGUIN SUPPORT
HOW THE PENGUIN SUPPORT WORKS
Helps the Patient Remain in a Lateral Recumbent Position
The Penguin Support can be easily secured to the bed (side-rail, collapsible side-rail or swing assist bar) using its fasteners, thus allowing the patient to remain in a lateral recumbent position.
Hassle-free and Easy to Use
The Penguin Support is made of a smooth material, which enables it to slide under the patient easily.
Easy Cleaning for Improved Hygiene
The surface of the Penguin Support is treated with a water-repellent finish that allows it to be wiped down, hand-washed or disinfected for better hygiene maintenance.

TESTIMONIAL FROM A PENGUIN SUPPORT USER
"EVER SINCE I STARTED USING THE PENGUIN SUPPORT, I REALISED HOW DIFFICULT MY TASKS USED TO BE WITHOUT IT."
"I could feel the advantages of using the Penguin Support immediately. The patient was maintained in a lateral recumbent position, while I was able to use both my hands for other tasks. Most caregivers have to change the patient's diaper without any form of help, which can take a toll on them physically after a while. With the Penguin Support, I realised how much easier it is to perform this task. We can also wash the patients and check their physical conditions much more easily. The Penguin Support works great for a variety of patients, from patients who are bigger in physical size, to patients who tend to move around a lot. It definitely helps to make a great improvement in our level of care." Mr. Yuichi Sato Nagisawarakuen (Special Nursing Home for the Aged) Social Welfare Corporation, Tokyo Eiwakai |
