PINEL RESTRAINT DESCRIPTION
PINEL MEDICAL
PINEL wishes to expand its Distributor network world wide. Our experience over the last five years shows that when the Pinel unique characteristics are introduced into a new market,
especially one populated with similar products, the uptake of the Pinel is very rapid and market dominance soon follows.
REASONS:
– MATERIAL – items are made of Para Aramide (Kevlar is the Dupont brand of Para Aramide)layered by other specialized textiles that are both anti-microbial and fire retardent,
– RESULTS – this makes product much stronger, yet lighter than leather, releases moisture very quickly (half hour drying) and is very soft to touch,
– COST REDUCTION – uses concepts of universal sizing and multipurpose-use for common items, resulting in very significant cost reduction in hospital inventory (cut inventory by more than half).For example, use of Waist belt in both bed and
chair.
– COMMON PROBLEMS RESOLVED – Pinel’s new designs have also solved serious problems of violent and rapid restraining (5 seconds to four point restraint), patient comfort and prevention of asphyxiation when waist belt travels over thorax where it can cause asphyxiations. Note: lateral straps alone will NOT prevent asphyxiations.
– PROTECTED MAGNETIC KEY – the patented Pinel common magnetic system is unique in that all magnetic flux is maintained within the guarded portion of the opening Key. Stray unprotected magnetism could negatively affect important patient items such as Pace Makers or hospital equipment sensitive to strong fields such as Holter Monitors.
These are only examples of improvements. There are many more subtle ones that affect safety and patient comfort. Please visit us in Hall 16 at the Canadian pavilion at stand F41 and verify
