How ProneAid Works
Reducing Risk through Increased Mobility
ProneAid works by extending the head of the bed to create a safe, stable platform for unobstructed access to the head, face and neck during prone patient positioning. The ProneAid head holder is securely held in-place between the bed frame and mattress by the weight of the patient and mattress. By providing a platform that is independent of the mattress and moves with the bed, the head of the bed can be elevated or lowered to promote ventilation, tube feedings and pressure relief.
ProneAid allows caregivers to:
- Secure an airway on either side of the bed using reversible cutouts, without disconnecting the endotracheal tube
- Rotate and adjust the head, neck and body safely
- Maintain stability without shifting during mattress movement
- Access the patients mouth and eyes for oral care, neurological checks and
Why ProneAid?
Reducing Risk through Increased Mobility
Prone positioning saves lives—but it also brings challenges. Facial pressure injuries, airway dislodgement, and caregiver strain are common concerns in intensive care.
Unlike traditional head holders that prevent repositioning, ProneAid is uniquely designed to combat facial injuries caused by immobility. ProneAid prioritizes head and neck MOVEMENT, allowing unlimited facial repositioning during a proning treatment.
