Innovative Medical Products Sponsors Free Online Continuing Education Course for Nurses

PR Log (Press Release) – Oct 07, 2009 – Innovative Medical Products, an industry leader in patient positioning devices and pressure redistribution gel pads, has announced its sponsorship of a free continuing education course for perioperative nurses through the Nursing CE Portal website. The free online course, authored by Suzy-Scott Williams, MSN, RN, CWOCN, instructs nurses on one of the portal’s newest “Hot Topics” offerings: Perioperative Pressure Ulcer Prevention. According to Nursing CE Portal, the free course is “due to the generous support of nursing education by Innovative Medical Products’ innovative new line of Phase 4 Gel™ products.”  

“We are pleased to make available to perioperative nurses a valuable continuing education course on a critical issue of patient care,” said Greg Prentiss, IMP Gel product manager. “Perioperative ulcer prevention impacts the perioperative nurse directly, as the OR has been identified by several studies as a potential source of pressure ulcers. Because the Nursing CE Portal plays an important role in perioperative education, we could think of no more effective way to provide information on pressure ulcer prevention than through this outstanding online resource for perioperative nurses.”
