the pain associated with equipment selection and delivery by
providing beds, pressure care, seating and manual handling
devices that:

indignity
- Protect your organisation from compliance issues
For 2018-19, we are instigating a programme of continuous
catalogue updates and have introduced an issue number to this
publication. If you’d like to check that you are looking at the latest
version of our catalogue, you can check this at www.care-med.

14Pressure Care For Heels
Heelpad
Code: CM-HP-S (Single)
CM-HP-D (Double)
Pressure Care For Heels
The Heelpad is designed to reduce pressure on
the vulnerable heel area. The controlled volume of
gel in the sacs allows pressure displacement and
even weight distribution. Pressure on a patient’s
heels are kept to a minimum when the heels are in
contact with the gel sac.
Odstock Wedge
Code: CM-OSW
Clinical research has effectively demonstrated that
the degree of knee flexion necessary to achieve
substantial levels of pressure relief is relatively
small. The Invacare Odstock Wedge was designed by
clinicians to reduce pressure on the heels through re-
positioning the hip and elevating the knee.
Heel Boot
Code: CM-HBT-SM (Small) < 38 cm < 15 in
CM-HBT-ST (Standard) 38-43 cm 15-17 in
CM-HBT-XL (Large) ≥ 43 cm ≥ 14 in
The Heel Boot provides excellent comfort and
pressure reduction for patients with a ’high risk’1
of developing pressure ulcers to the vulnerable
heel area. For patients with pressure damage, the
Maxxcare Pro Heel Boot can be an effective solution
for wound healing, as its unique design allows for heel
offloading.
Leg Trough
Code: CM-LGTH-MLT/S (Small)
CM-LGTH- MLT/M (Medium)
CM-LGTH-MLT/L (Large)
The Leg Trough has been designed in consultation
with clinicians to provide maximum support for the
whole leg. The Leg Trough elevates the heels and
allows them to be suspended over the edge of the
trough. This provides maximum pressure relief for the
vulnerable heel area.

16Introduction to Ramblegard
The Ramblegard system of wireless resident falls prevention and
movement monitoring relieves the inconvenience, unreliability and
limitations that are usually experienced when using “traditional”
floor mats or similar in the care home.
Monitoring to prevent falls and to detect wandering is a sensitive
issue and the safety needs of residents have to be balanced
without compromising dignity or independence - not always easy
using archaic sensor pad solutions.
How does Ramblegard differ?
Based around four core sensors, Floorgard, Seatgard, Bedgard and
Motiongard, Ramblegard is:
- Wireless* (no more trailing cables or limitations such as call point
socket positioning)
- Discreet (in many cases, sensor pads can be placed out of sight
and away from risk of tampering
- Flexible and foil-free (look at this link - https://care-med.co.uk/
products-overview/wireless-falls-sensors/ to see how the use of foil
sensors limits durability and flexibility)
- Accurate (highly sensitive and directional Motiongard is so much
more accurate and useful than a PIR that detects any movement in
the room)
- Behaviour based detection (watch our short video here: https://
care-med.co.uk/products-overview/wireless-falls-sensors/ to see
how sensors can be placed differently to detect different falls and
wandering scenarios)
* We offer two wired floor mats as budget options

28Introduction to Medi9
Medi9 is a modern solution to age-old infection control
problems.
Many terminal cleaning products are blighted by
compromise, especially if they are a bleach or acid
based solution:
- they can cause respiratory problems
- they can be highly corrosive to equipment
- they can offer limited success against today’s
infection control risks
Medi9 is safe for skin and respiration, non-corrosive to
equipment surfaces (including mattresses) and yet is
highly effective at combatting:
- Bacteria
- Spores
- Viruses
- Germs
- Fungi
Medi9 won’t damage carpets, curtains or soft-
furnishings and is available in a wide variety of
applications:
- foam
- vapour fogging systems
- wipes

35Bed Rail Compliance
While bed rails can potentially prevent many falls, if fitted
incorrectly they can cause death by asphyxiation through
entrapment.
A risk assessment that incorporates the bed occupant, proposed
equipment, the bed and the mattress is essential to ensure safe
use. If any of these circumstances or equipment combinations
change, the risk assessment must be carried out again.
MHRA (Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency
(MHRA) investigations have also shown that many serious and
fatal incidents with bed rails have been caused by lack of
maintenance.
Bed rails must be inspected on a regular basis to ensure they are
in good condition and that the distances comply with current
regulations.

’18) but we recommend checking for the latest guidance here:

36Mattress Decontamination
Do you know what lies beneath the surfaces of your mattresses?
Let Care-Med assist in keeping your home compliant by utilising
our on-site Mattress Audit and Decontamination Service.
Using our unique portable fogging system and following the MHRA
Audit Recommendations, this service is cost effective and provides
proactive reassurance and a thorough paper trail, freeing up time
for nursing and care staff.
Decontamination includes a deep clean of not only the mattress,
but the bedframe too, far more comprehensive than achievable
by laundering or manual cleaning. The Medi9 fogger penetrates
deep inside alternating mattress cores, between the cells and
pipework, ensuring the deepest recesses are clean and hygienic.
Once a cover is breached and significant staining has occurred,
the mattress is hazardous and even if cleaned, the likelihood is that
staining will reoccur. Stained foam mattress cores are particularly
hazardous, harbouring a myriad of germs and bacteria.
Call us on 01926 889677 to discuss mattress decontamination.

The Regulations
Health and Social Care Act 2008 (Regulated Activities) Regulations 2014
Regulation 15
Section (1) (e)
Section (1)(e) of Regulation 15 states that “premises and equipment” should be
“properly maintained”
• There should be suitable arrangements for the purchase, service,
maintenance, renewal and replacement of premises (including grounds)
and equipment. These arrangements must make sure that they meet the
requirements of current legislation and guidance, manufacturers’ instructions
and the provider’s policies or procedures.
• Providers must have operational policies and procedures and maintenance
budgets to maintain their equipment, buildings and mechanical engineering
and electrical systems so that they are sound, operationally safe and
exhibiting only minor deterioration.
• All equipment must be used, stored and maintained in line with
manufacturers’ instructions. It should only be used for its intended purpose
and by the person for whom is it provided.
PUWER : Maintenance of work equipment
PUWER requires that: all work equipment be maintained in an efficient state, in
efficient order and in good repair; where any machinery has a maintenance
log, the log is kept up to date; and that maintenance operations on work
equipment can be carried out safely.

Mattress Audit
Caremed technicians are trained in mattress auditing to the MHRA standard and this is a
service we provide to many of our customers. Mattresses that look good on the surface,
may be hiding hidden dangers if integrity is breached. Even minor abrasions or damage
to the mattress surface may allow urine or faecal matter to penetrate the cover or foam
beneath; this is hazardous and unpleasant:
- Hidden staining
- Foul odours
- Infection control risks with the presence of bacteria, fungi or spores
As well as an examination of the mattress from a hygiene standpoint, our audit also includes
a simple test to ascertain the foam resilience - this is to protect your residents from pressure
damage and discomfort from aging foam cores that may have lost their resilience over time
