Ergonurse
ErgoNurse is an emerging revenue
positive medical device company that has brought to
market, unique and efficient patent pending patient handling
devices. The ErgoNurse
EZ-lift is a true "No-Lift" device that allows an individual
caregiver to safely and quickly perform all the on-bed patient
movement functions and transfer of a Total Care or obese patient
weighing up to 500lbs. The ErgoNurse
EZ-Lift has been in use at several hospitals in Texas for
over a year and has proven to be more cost effective and efficient
than existing devices at eliminating both caregiver back and
shoulder injuries as well as the formation of new
bedsores.
The market for effective patient handling equipment,
currently estimated at over $3 billion, is poised for significant
growth as the healthcare industry struggles to solve the problems
of high worker injury costs, a nursing shortage, Safe Patient
legislative mandates and CMS's announcement that it will no longer
reimburse for the treatment of bedsores that occur while the
patient is in the hospital. ErgoNurse has
developed a proven track record and a platform of products that are
rapidly establishing the company as a market leader in the
space.
