New and improved Propad range from Invacare

CARDIFF, Wales - July 22, 2014 - PRLog -- The Invacare Propad range was first introduced to the market over two decades ago and was very quickly an established and successful part of many pressure ulcer prevention strategies. The range consisted of both overlays and cushions making it suitable for a 24 hour care plan.

The new and improved Propad range of today retains the traditional features it has been recognised for but has had enhancements to make it suitable for the 21^st century healthcare environment.

Available from 22^nd July, a change you will immediately see is a change to the colour of the covers. This has now been modernised to a violet quartz colour making it compliant with REACH and RoHS regulations, uniformed to offer a clear 24 hour care package and light enough to see external staining.

To support the updated Propad range, Invacare has put together a new Clinicians Handbook which details:

Ø  The Propad Overlay range

Ø  The Propad Cushion range

Ø  Risk Assessment guidelines

Ø  Knowledge bank

o   Pressure ulcer awareness

o   Pressure ulcer prevention

o   Seating and posture guide

o   Key features to look for in an overlay and cushion

o   FOC training resources

o   How to clean and care for your overlays and cushions
