Modern Single-Use Solutions Standardize Repeatable, Consistent Patient Safety
CORCORAN, Minn., Oct. 23, 2024 – BoneFoam, Inc. is launching a new portfolio of innovative patient protection solutions aimed at reducing the most prevalent hospital-acquired injuries by delivering consistent, repeatable outcomes at optimized costs.
The Guardian Patient Protection portfolio includes single-use Face Guard, Arm Guard, Leg Guard and Head Guard to safely address hospital-acquired injuries such as pressure and nerve-related injuries, as well as soft tissue and skin shearing injuries which can occur in prolonged surgeries. Hospital-acquired injuries can lead to extended recovery and additional costs and may negatively affect hospital reimbursement by Medicare’s Hospital-Acquired Condition (HAC) Reduction Program.
“A patient shouldn’t go into an operating room for a procedure and leave with a non-operative pressure-related injury,” said Buzz Hannahan, president and CEO, BoneFoam, Inc. “Guardian’s purpose is simple − raise the standards of patient safety at hospitals and ambulatory surgery centers nationally by reducing risks.”
According to a recent AORN Journal report, “the surgical positioning for an intervention is fundamental so that it is efficient and safe to perform the surgical procedure. The position of the patient allows exposure, access to the operative site [and] it is the responsibility of all surgical staff to protect the patient from any adverse events resulting from the surgical position.”
BoneFoam intentionally created its Guardian portfolio to align with health systems’ financial goals under value-based reimbursement models. These models strive to reduce complications arising from OR variability and lower cost-burden services like laundry and linen.
