Consistent turning quality
Automated turning can reduce required caregivers from 2— to 1, supporting consistent care quality, improving PI prevention, and further reducing caregiver workload.
Optima Turn
1 / 5
Product overview
Positioning: Optima Turn is a lateral rotation air mattress for acute care.
Intended patients: Suitable for patients at high to very high risk of pressure injury who may benefit from automated lateral repositioning support.
Value proposition: As an automated lateral rotation pressure injury solution, Optima Turn is designed to improve turning feasibility and patient comfort while supporting consistent prevention.
Clinical context
- Clinical guidelines recommend repositioning every 2— hours to help prevent pressure injuries (PI). The 2019 EPUAP/NPUAP/PPPIA guidance favours positioning patients at a 30° lateral position (rather than 90° side-lying) to reduce PI incidence.
- Frequent repositioning is labour intensive: up to 61.5% of nurses report back pain related to in-bed patient handling, lifting, and moving.
How Optima Turn helps: Optima Turn strengthens pressure injury prevention and reduces caregiver workload by combining turning with alternating pressure modes —supporting effective offloading with minimal disruption to existing workflows, for greater efficiency and comfort for patients and staff.
Key features and benefits
Safe, effective turning
The system continues to deliver alternating pressure during turning for improved offloading. Side air bolsters help protect the patient, support comfort, and fit clinical workflows; a lower mid section leaves space for drainage lines.
Optimal pressure redistribution
30° lateral rotation combined with cyclically inflating and deflating air cells supports ideal pressure redistribution and helps relieve pressure over bony prominences.
Personalised heel care
Heel cells can be independently deflated to deliver near-zero heel interface pressure across body types —lowering PI risk and supporting longer therapy duration.

Clinical evidence
Guidelines recommend 30° lateral repositioning rather than 90° side-lying to help reduce pressure ulcer incidence. Turning every 3 hours at 30° has been associated with up to a 67% lower risk of early PI compared with 90° turning every 6 hours.
