/in /by

Featuring in highly attended on-stand educational sessions, Theraposture has successfully launched its revolutionary new Orbit 235 rotating bed at the Occupational Therapy Show 2023.

Theraposture stand OT Show 2023

Theraposture and Shaun Masters OT introduce the ‘game changing’ Orbit rotating bed at the 2023 OT Show.

CPD presentations

The Theraposture stand proved to be once again a popular destination for healthcare professionals attending the OT Show. Throughout the two days, Shaun Masters, OT, delivered a series of CPD presentations entitled ‘Getting legs into bed – redefined.’ These educational talks aimed to help OTs solve a huge issue in the community so that clients can live independently and without the need for expensive care packages. Pivotal to Shaun’s ‘express’ CPD sessions was the new rotating bed from Theraposture – the Orbit 235.

The Orbit 235 Rotating Bed

The Orbit 235 (Occupational Rotational Bed for Independent Transfers) is a revolution and huge step forward in rotating beds. The Orbit 235 is a rotating bed that can be prescribed and configured accordingly to a wide range of users, making it exceptional value because it is easy to reissue and easy to accommodate all shapes and sizes of user.

Theraposture has added the Orbit 235 to its current market-leading and proven range of rotating beds which includes the OT Show award-winning Rotoflex. Each electrically operated bed offers powered profiling, rotation into a chair position and variable height so users with restricted mobility can get in and out of bed safely, and on their own terms. Designed to assist bed transfers for many conditions including Parkinson’s, MS and Stroke, these beds offer an alternative to expensive carer assistance, hoisting, or the need for relocation into residential care.

In many scenarios these beds ‘pay for themselves’ in a short period of time as typical care costs can range from £27,000 to £50,000+ per annum. After that short time there is no cost, yet the cost of care would otherwise be ongoing. The Orbit 235 now extends this offering with a solution that is totally prescriptive for everyone. This is achieved by assessing each user, using the Orbit 235, and configuring the settings which are then recorded as a prescription.

The scope of adjustment through the modular design and electronic programming, includes:

  • Length between 200cm and 220cm
  • Seat height between 40cm to 48cm
  • Seat depth between 46cm and 51cm
  • Back angle during rotation 0 degrees to 90 degrees
  • Speed of rotation 50%, 75% and 100%
  • Finished seating position at 60 degree or 90 degrees.

No other rotating bed in the world can offer this scope of prescriptive settings, thus making the Orbit 235 a ‘game changing’ next level development in rotating beds.

Liam Braddell, Managing Director of Theraposture said:

“Everything that we have learnt and everything that we have been asked for has resulted in the Orbit 235. The manufacturing process includes robotic welding and laser cutting technology, creating a level of quality that is unrivalled.”

Shaun Masters demonstrated to large numbers of delegates how the Orbit 235 is the most advanced solution for independent bed transfers available. He said:

“In my experience as an OT, the Orbit 235 is the most accomplished, capable, and well-designed rotating bed available. It is suitable for a wide range of users, making it versatile and recyclable, and great value for equipment services.”

The Orbit 235 is now available for client suitability assessments in their homes supported by Theraposture Trusted Assessors. The bed will feature in Shaun’s new CPD webinars for 2024 which all Occupational Therapists are encouraged to sign up for when they become available.

Theraposture’s revolutionary Orbit 235 rotating bed to launch at OT Show

/in /by

Theraposture, the Occupational Therapist’s considered choice for Adjustable Beds, Chairs, and Care Cots, will be unveiling its pioneering NEW Orbit 235 rotating bed at the OT Show (stand H52, NEC, 22 and 23 Nov).

Orbit 235 rotating bed

The ‘game changing’ new Orbit rotating bed from Theraposture.

The Orbit 235 (Occupational Rotational Bed for Independent Transfers) is a revolution and a huge step forward in rotating beds. There is no other rotating bed like it. The Orbit 235 has been developed in collaboration with Occupational Therapists and end users, building on Theraposture’s understanding and experience gained as the true market-leading supplier of rotating beds for over 20 years. Everything that has been learnt and everything that has been asked for has resulted in the Orbit 235.

Theraposture provides a range of rotating beds including the OT Show award-winning Rotoflex. The Orbit 235 now extends this offering with a solution that be configured through personalised programming, and the modular adjustments from its clever and flexible design.

The Orbit 235 can be adapted to suit users from 4’10” to 6’6” with adjustable platform lengths of 200, 210 and 220cm and programmable seating dimensions to suit all shapes and sizes. This adaptability is truly unique and game-changing. There are three mattress lengths of 200, 210 and 220cm and the seat settings allow seat heights from 40cm to 48cm and depths from 46cm to 51cm. This scope of personalisation ensures full support and comfort can be achieved.

Another innovation is the option to program a finished chair position of either 60 or 90 degrees in relation to the bed, to aid side access to a wheelchair or if space is limited in a room. The speed of rotation, angle of recline, vertical lift (or tilt if preferred) can all be pre-programmed to user preferences.

The Orbit 235 has a fully integrated powered rising heel section that ensures fully supported leg elevation to assist with oedema. The Orbit 235 has a maximum patient weight of 31 stones (200kg) Theraposture’s Rotating Bed Range provides a safe, proven and lasting solution to independent bed transfers, allowing the users to get in and out of bed on their own terms, and when carer assistance isn’t available. It can also reduce the need for caregivers. With two carers visiting twice daily, to assist with bed transfers, costing around £27,000 per annum, this independence represents a significant saving and means Theraposture rotating beds pay for themselves in a short space of time. Equally, relocation to residential care can be avoided – typically costing around £50,000+ per year.

Shaun Masters, Occupational Therapist will be using the new Orbit 235 within his on-stand CPD presentations at the OT Show. Shaun said:

“In my experience as an OT, the Orbit 235 is the most accomplished, capable, and well-designed rotating bed available. The Orbit 235 is suitable for a wide range of users, making it versatile and recyclable, and great value for equipment services.”

As with all rotating bed from Theraposture, the Orbit 235 can provide improved occupation for clients with the following conditions:

  • Parkinson’s
  • Multiple Sclerosis
  • Motor Neurone Disease
  • Progressive neurological and muscle wasting conditions
  • Stroke
  • General loss of mobility
  • Lymphedema
  • Plus size users
  • Balance and transfer issues
  • Amputees

Theraposture provides free home assessments with a rotating bed, to ensure that suitability can be established in the user’s home environment, with the appropriate bed. For the Orbit 235, a personal configuration is saved and later used when the bed is delivered.

The Orbit 235 is built using cutting-edge production techniques. It brings together precision laser cutting, robot welding and powder coating for ultimate reliability. This new level of durability is matched by its pioneering adaptability. The Orbit truly raises the bar in rotating bed design – delivering levels of tailored independence never experienced before.

Theraposture to focus on popular fast delivery care cot packages at Kidz to Adultz North

/in /by

Due to ongoing popularity amongst occupational therapists and families, Theraposture will once again be highlighting its paediatric care cot packages at Kidz to Adultz North.

1 st Nov 2023, 9.30am – 4pm. Manchester Central, Manchester, M2 3GX. Stand C3.

Visiting the Theraposture exhibition stand

The Theraposture stand at Kidz North will once again be highlighting rapid delivery care cot packages to visiting families and healthcare professionals.

Commonly following a hospital discharge or when a disabled child is at risk, it can take several weeks or even months to receive an appropriate care cot. An adjustable care cot can provide safety and comfort through a range of features such as profiling and height adjustment of the mattress, specialist padding and secure doors. Without a safe sleeping solution, families are placed in an unacceptable position that could lead to further issues and discomfort for a child. To avoid this unsustainable scenario, Theraposture provides a rapid care cot package delivery service which means an appropriate solution can be installed within two weeks of a clinical specification.

Theraposture provides two choices of package which include an electrically adjustable Mascot cot with either 60cm or 98cm high doors so varying user needs can be met. Each cot is supplied with a specialist mattress and full-height soft padding with soft clear windows to allow visual access both in and out.

Neutral padding colours have been chosen for ease of re-issue and each cot fully complies with
BSEN60601-2-52 and BSEN50637. With extensive stock at its headquarters in Westbury, Wiltshire, Theraposture can provide an installation date quickly following a clinical client assessment by either its in-house occupational therapist or Trusted Assessors, or an independent healthcare professional. Specialist technicians can manage the complete installation with full safety protocols for a trusted outcome and peace of mind.

Mascot Mk2 Cot Bed

In terms of cots on stand C3, Theraposture will be exhibiting the Mascot and Timmy. The Mascot is the only fully modular, adjustable care cot with a flexible design that can be adapted to meet changing user needs. The powered Timmy is a specialist cot for more complex needs especially suited for children who are unable to sit up on their own. Available in a range of sizes, its design is compatible with feeding and breathing equipment and all cot sides drop-down for 360-degree access.

The friendly and knowledgeable Theraposture Trusted Assessors welcome all visitors onto their stand at Kidz North – ready to offer free expert advice, ways to beat like-for-like quotes and giveaway quality chocolates.

Care cot demonstrations

Commonly, following a hospital discharge or when a disabled child is at risk, it can take several weeks or even months to receive an appropriate care cot. This leaves families with an unavoidable scenario that is unsafe for everyone concerned and unacceptable for supporting Occupational Therapists. To resolve this ongoing problem so a positive outcome is achieved quicker, Theraposture provides a choice of two Mascot packages that can be installed within two weeks – two example cots will be available at the Kidz exhibition.

Mascot cot

The Mascot is the only fully modular, adjustable care cot with a flexible design that can be adapted to meet changing user needs. It provides electrically powered variable height, mattress profiling and Trendelenburg/anti-Trendelenburg positioning for user comfort and safety.  Within its rapid delivery scheme, Theraposture can provide Mascot with either 60cm or 98cm high doors so varying care requirements can be met.

Mascot cot 60cm doorsEach is supplied with a specialist mattress and full-height safety padding that includes soft windows for visual access. Neutral padding colours are ideal for re-issue and each cot fully complies with safety standards BSEN60601-2-52 and BSEN50637.

Theraposture Trusted Assessors will be on hand throughout the show to demonstrate the Mascot and provide free information on the rapid delivery service.

 

Timmy Cot

Theraposture will also be showcasing its Timmy care cot on stand E10. The powered Timmy is a specialist cot for more complex needs especially suited for children who are unable to sit up on their own. Available in a range of sizes, its design is compatible with feeding and breathing equipment and all cot sides drop-down for 360-degree access.

The hi-lo sleeping platform ensures carers can provide personal care at safe working heights without the risk of back injury. As with all cots from Theraposture, it is supplied with a 14-day suitability guarantee and 3-year warranty.

Alongside award-winning products, the friendly Theraposture team will be giving away quality chocolates and offering to beat like-for-like quotes with their ‘Challenge us!’ initiative.

Theraposture to present award-winning Rotoflex rotating bed at Disability Expo

/in , /by

At Disability Expo, Theraposture, the market-leading adjustable bed specialist, will be exhibiting the award-winning Rotoflex 235 Mk2 which is the proven solution for getting in and out of bed independently.

Stand C19. Disability Expo, ExCeL London, Royal Victoria Dock, 1 Western Gateway,
London E16 1X. 6-7th July 2023. Doors open from 9am.

Theraposture invites all consumer and professional visitors to come and discuss their individual needs with Nick Lythe, Trusted Assessor for the Southeast. Nick will be on hand to explain why Theraposture is the considered choice for adjustable beds and will explain how you can try the Rotoflex 235 Mk2, in your home.

Theraposture's exhibition team

The Rotoflex 235 Mk2 bed

Winner of the ‘Excellence in Caring’ Award as voted by Occupational Therapists, the patented Rotoflex 235 Mk2 bed rotates as part of the process of getting a person who struggles with bed transfers, in and out of their bed consistently and safely on their own terms. The Rotoflex range of beds will assist a user from an upright seated position, with their feet on the floor, to a lying position in the middle of the bed. This proven solution is widely used by those with Parkinson’s and MS, as well as those struggling to lift their legs in and out of bed.

The Rotoflex has electronic height adjustment with a straight vertical lift when in the chair position, meaning that a user will not be tipped out of their bed when attempting a sit-to-stand transfer. This is intentional and is a key difference between the Rotoflex and the other beds that attempt to copy it. This vertical lift in the seated position ensures those with balance and strength inconsistencies can get off the bed on their terms from a level and stable platform when in the chair position, with their ‘nose always being behind their toes’.

Reducing costs

When compared to the high cost of care in the home and residential care, the Rotoflex can pay for itself in a short space of time. Commonly two carers may be required to help someone in and out of bed, twice a day. This can cost upwards of £28,000 a year and the time of the help being given is often not always ideal. The Rotoflex will pay for itself if 3 to 4 months and it will deliver true independence, boosting self-esteem and giving reassurance and confidence.

Theraposture provides the widest range of rotating beds available, for one person and for couples to share. The experienced Theraposture team can manufacture a tailormade solution to meet a variety of scenarios, needs and wants. Beds can be purchased or rented with eventual ownership. You can buy or rent new or refurbished beds from stock, following a home assessment and the opportunity to try the Rotoflex bed yourself.

Charity partnerships

Theraposture work in Partnership with Parkinson’s UK and the MS Society, further demonstrating the ethical credentials of this long-standing family-owned specialist. At Disability Expo, you will be able to understand why the Rotoflex range is different from the “alternative choices” who will also be at this event. Therefore, this is the ideal opportunity to see for yourself why the Rotoflex is protected with patents and why it is the considered choice.

Care cot packages

Theraposture provides two choices of cot packages which include an electrically adjustable Mascot with either 60cm or 98cm high doors so varying user needs can be met.

Neutral padding colours have been chosen for ease of re-issue and each cot fully complies with BSEN60601-2-52 and BSEN50637.

Meeting urgent needs

Theraposture cot packages can be fully installed within two weeks. This service has been set up to meet the growing demand for urgent sleeping solutions following hospital discharges or when a child is at risk.

Typically, specialist cots can take weeks or months to source, build and supply, which is simply not acceptable when a child and their family are faced with an unavoidable unsafe scenario. By choosing a Mascot package undue stress can be avoided and safe outcomes can be achieved quicker.

Peace of mind In addition to meeting all safety standards, Mascot cots are supplied with a 3-year fully inclusive warranty and a 14-day Suitability Guarantee. Provision is assessment-led so suitability is assured for all clients – backed up by clinical knowledge and over 40 years of experience.

Also on the stand

Alongside the Mascot, the Timmy adjustable cot will also be on show which provides a safe solution for users with more complex needs. The Theraposture Trusted Assessors will also be on hand to explain their ‘Challenge us on price’ scheme which aims to better any like-for-like quote.

Covid-19 / Coronavirus Safe Services – Our Commitment to You

/in /by

To all of our customers,

The well-being of our customers; ​​our associates and our staff is our absolute priority, and you can be absolutely assured that we have taken all of the necessary precautions to achieve this. We absolutely understand and acknowledge that all of our clients are highly vulnerable and Covid is a serious risk to them. Our processes are applied to all clients without exception. These have been in place ​​since the beginning of the pandemic.

The company’s COVID-19 Policy G127 is still in operation. This policy is constantly under review.

washing hands in sink

Our staff wash their hands before and after every customer contact.

Assessments are available either at a client’s home or by personal live video consultation with our in-house OT, using easily accessible technology such as Star-Leaf, Microsoft Teams, WhatsApp, Zoom, or any other platform you are familiar with.
We can arrange for video group consultations involving several persons, so that family members and healthcare professionals can all be involved. Often this will include the use of equipment that will be set up and operated as part of the consultation. Please call 0800 834654 to book an appointment or use our online booking app.

The equipment that we provide is vital in ensuring that our customers can remain independent at home and can avoid residential care settings. For example, by using the Rotoflex Bed it is likely that less external help will be needed to help with bed transfers and therefore the risks of spreading the Covid virus are massively reduced. Before any customer facing contact, we will discuss any requirements that you may have in addition to our standard procedures.

These are our standard PPE options available to keep you and our employees safe – we carry these items on our vehicles at all times. This is managed by our Covid -19 Drivers PPE Guidance G128, which is currently in operation:

  • Protective Face Mask, compliant with current Government guidance.
  • Latex or Nitrate protective gloves (dependent on client preferences).
  • Protective overalls for clothing.
  • Protective covers for shoes.
  • Face visors.
  • Dettol wipes to wipe down all surfaces that we have been in contact with.
  • Alcohol-based hand gels are used between each customer contact.

Our staff perform Lateral Flow Tests each week.

Additionally, our staff will wash their hands before and after every customer contact.

When we arrange to visit your home for an assessment or for a delivery/service call, we will ask you detailed questions when booking the appointment to establish if there is any risk to you or to us. When we arrive at your home we will make an informed judgement to establish if it is safe to enter the property. We will also agree with the client on what level of PPE is required.

If you have any further questions, please get in touch with us or call Freephone: 0800 834654.

As suppliers of medical devices and assistive technology, we are providing a vital and essential service and will be able to continue to operate safely. We are recognised as an essential supplier and have the backing of the NHS and the BHTA and the major charities that we work with.

We would also like to take this opportunity to thank you for your continued support and loyalty.

Stay safe, stay well and stay independent!

Rapid delivery Stock Mascot Packages

Mascot cot 98cm doorsTrusted Assessors will be demonstrating the popular Mascot modular cot bed system and how it delivers the most cost-effective solution for changing user needs.

This Mascot is used to provide two pre-made, ready to go stock cot bed packages. This height adjustable and profiling padded cot bed is available in two sizes and a commitment from Theraposture to deliver and install within two weeks.

When a Cot Bed is needed urgently, often because a service user is at risk or a hospital discharge needs to take place, consider a STOCK Mascot from Theraposture. Sourcing a suitable solution to allow the service user to be at home, or to be safe at home, would normally take many weeks and in that time either a discharge will be held up or the identified risks remain.

Theraposture provides high-speed provision of proven solutions, meaning Occupational Therapists (OTs) responsible for specifying equipment can achieve safe outcomes quicker, whilst ensuring families avoid undue stress and worry. Each quick delivery stock Mascot is supplied with a mattress and full-height soft padding with soft clear windows to allow visual access both in and out. As always, these Theraposture products fully meet the current standards (BSEN60601-2-52 and BSEN50637) and come with 3-year fully inclusive warranties and a 14-day Suitability Guarantee.

Cot demonstrations at Kidz to Adultz

Alongside the Mascot, the Timmy adjustable cot will be on show at Kidz to Adultz Middle. The Timmy is a proven choice for OTs seeking an assistive solution for service users requiring a high degree of care. It provides powered variable height, profiling and unrestricted 360-degree access for carers as all 4 sides drop fully. The friendly Theraposture members will be on hand to discuss how these cots suit specific client scenarios whilst explaining their clinically led, free home assessment process.

‘Challenge us’ on price

Theraposture will attempt to better any like-for-like quote that an OT may have from an alternative supplier. If you can get better value elsewhere for an equivalent product and service, we would see that as a challenge and would be keen to work with our OT clients to help them find a way to buy the best products from the market-leading expert. More about ‘Challenge us’ on price.

Come and say ‘Hi’

Theraposture would love to meet parents and Therapists at Kidz to Adultz Middle on stand C2. We can provide advice guides, client case studies, clarification regarding bed standards, details of forthcoming CPD events and as always, lots of quality chocolates for everyone to enjoy!

Theraposture CPD proves more popular than ever at OT Show

/in , /by

Theraposture is delighted to report its most successful OT Show ever with impressive numbers of Occupational Therapists attending its stand for educational seminars and Rotoflex bed demonstrations. (Stand G51, NEC, Birmingham, 23 and 24 November 2022).

Theraposture OT Show Seminars

Hosted by Shaun Masters, Occupational Therapist, the Theraposture ‘Getting legs into bed’ CPD seminars were hugely popular at the OT Show this year.

As one of the longest-standing OT Show exhibitors, Theraposture once again delivered a showcase featuring its adjustable beds, rotating Rotoflex bed range, paediatric care cots and Theracare Leg Lifter. OTs were able to experience live demonstrations of these award-winning products whilst benefiting from free CPD education (Continuing Professional Development).

Presented by Shaun Masters, OT, the ‘Getting legs into bed’ seminars on the Theraposture stand attracted even more professionals than previous years. These CPD sessions explored key considerations regarding a safe transfer into, out of and away from a bed – a major issue in today’s community. From a clinical point of view, Shaun demonstrated why a Theracare Leg Lifter and the Rotoflex can be appropriate for improved occupational performance in a variety of client scenarios. The Rotoflex is highly respected by healthcare professionals as it previously won the OT Show ‘Excellence in Caring’ Award as voted for by a panel of independent Occupational Therapists.

Theraposture OT Show stand

Theraposture CPD seminars at the 2022 OT Show

Each CPD seminar attracted high numbers of attendees with the mid-day slots witnessing strong crowds. Liam Braddell, Theraposture Managing Director, comments: “We were delighted to welcome so many Occupational Therapists onto our stand this year, in fact the numbers were the highest ever. The combination of our CPD, award-winning Rotoflex and clinical expertise all added up to an unmissable showcase. Feedback on Shaun’s presentations was highly complementary, and our Trusted Assessors were busy throughout both days offering sleeping solutions for individual client cases.”

Liam concludes: “Alongside equipment demonstrations, OTs were keen to learn more about our budget saving services. We had many engaging conversations regarding our fast delivery padded care cot packages, free bed moves, ‘Challenge us!’ price matching promise and free home and video client assessments. Overall, we experienced a real ‘buzz’ on our 2022 stand and look forward to supplying the equipment we recommended so the best outcomes are achieved for all.”
