VENDLET Bari Bariatric Patient Turning System

Product Information

• Description

  Bariatric patients (generally considered as over 25 stone) pose a particularly acute moving and handling risk to carers, due to both their size and their weight. In many cases multiple carers – up to three or four – are required to manually move and position a bariatric client in bed. This is a task with a very high risk of musculoskeletal disorders (MSD’s) for the carers.

  The VENDLET Bari bariatric patient turning system can reduce this to just a single carer who can operate the system with one hand and guide the client with their other hand. With a much higher safe working load (SWL) of 400 kg / 63 stone, the VENDLET Bari bariatric patient turning system is built to handle the larger and heavier clients for whom the V5S would not be suitable.

  Please note: The VENDLET Bari system is only compatible with VENDLET™ slide sheets and turn sheets. Use of other sheets may invalidate the warranty and may constitute a risk to patient safety. Please speak to us for further details.

  Please note: We supply the Vendlet System in the UK only. For enquiries outside the UK, please contact the manufacturer directly.

• Who is the VENDLET Bari for and what are its uses?

  Yes, the sheet is indeed wider to account for the larger beds it will be fitted on

  Will the V5S+ fit on all bariatric care beds?
  Yes, the VENDLET V5S+ is easy to integrate with existing care packages and will fit to most bariatric care beds.

  Can the VENDLET V5S+ be used with other brands of turn sheet and slide sheet?
  No, this will result in decreased performance and may invalidate the warranty and constitute a risk to patient safety. Only VENDLET™ sheets may be used.
