RotoProne™ Therapy System

 

The RotoProne Therapy System is the only automated system that allows caregivers to deliver multiple intervals of prone therapy over an extended time. By automating this process, the RotoProne Therapy System can help manage patient-handling risks associated with manual proning. 
 
Features & benefits
 
The RotoProne Therapy System offers features and benefits designed to help aggressively treat patients with severe pulmonary complications such as VAP and ARDS including:
 
  • Fully Automated Therapy System: Allows a single caregiver to safely prone a patient at the touch of a button. 
  • Prone therapy: Has been clinically demonstrated to help improve oxygenation1,2, and protect against ventilator induced lung injury1.
  • Kinetic Therapy: Advanced kinetic therapy (bilateral rotation up to 62 degrees) has been clinically demonstrated to reduce the risk of VAP3,4.
  • Integrated Tube Management System: Helps prevent entanglement and separation during rotation between supine and prone positions
  • Hand Control Unit: Allows the caregiver to monitor lines and tubes during rotation to and from the prone position for enhanced patient safety.
  • Digital Therapy Meters: Allow caregivers to easily track daily and cumulative therapy time.
