How does Hospital staff or Nursing Homes apply the Pakkie?
In hospitals and Nursing Homes patients regularly need to be moved from bed to wheelchair, that often causes bruising. The Pakkie will eliminate bruising caused by staff grabbing arms and legs to move the patient. Staff would position the Pakkie under the patient in a manner similar to changing sheets on a bed. Turn the patient to one side, place Pakkie under then, and then turn patient to other side. This will depend entirely on the patients disability, and the location. The main object is to get the Pakkie underneath them. Nurses have been looking for such a device for years to assist in their handling of patients. And their first comment is always: “We no longer will be bruising our patients when using the Pakkie.
