Hi-Lo Manually Operated Bed With Pressure Relief Mattress
"Mr. D. is a 35 year old man"... "He is frail, has had pressure sores in the past and has considerable difficulty with eating.
Before receiving his ORO Care bed with recessed mattress.Mr. D. slept on a Hi-Low (manually operated) bed with a pressure relief mattress.
He used an array of pillows and positioning aids to assist him to maintain a good posture at night. He became extremely hot at night.
With his new bed, Mr. D. only requires the specially designed knee block" (available seperately) "for positioning at night.
He is noticeably cooler and sleeps very soundly. He is still turned every 2 hours by carers, but the lack of extra equipment makes
this easier and less disturbing.
In the last 8 weeks since the delivery of his ORO bed, Mr. D. has been physically better than for some months. He is sleeping well,
eating better, has no pressure areas and is generally more relaxed."

ORO Bed With Pressure Relief Mattress, Recess and ORO Knee Pad
"Mr. D. has been using his ORO Sleep System for 6 months. His general health has improved; he is sleeping well and has had no sign of
pressure areas any more."...
"Mr D. is relaxed and carers have remarked that 'he is always heppy to go to bed, smiling and snuggling down immediately.'"
It must be emphasised that there are many factors which could have contributed to Mr. D's improved condition but the correspondent states "...but there is a
strong argument that undisturbed, restful sleep is essential for health." The following are extracts from letters written by the
Head Occupational Therapist at one of the UKs NHS Primary Care Trusts.
