Wellell Makes Optima Turn Better
"Optima
Turn is more than a mattress—it's a rethinking of how we protect vulnerable patients
and support frontline caregivers."
April 2025 - Wellell, a global leader in medical solutions (4106: Taiwan), proudly announces the launch of enhanced Optima Turn, an advanced automated lateral rotational mattress system designed to prevent pressure injuries (PI) and reduce caregiver workload through intelligent repositioning. The upgraded Optima Turn delivers a better user experience, benefiting both patients and caregivers through greater comfort, ease of use, and operational efficiency.
Meeting Clinical Guidelines with
Innovation
According to international clinical guidelines, repositioning patients every
2–4 hours is essential in preventing pressure injuries. Optima Turn delivers an
automated solution aligned with the EPUAP/NPUAP/PPPIA guidelines, which
recommend 30° lateral positioning as a safer, more effective alternative
to the traditional 90° lateral turn. This method redistributes pressure from
bony prominences to broader body surfaces, promoting better blood circulation
and reducing PI risk.
Designed For Caregiver Workload
Reduction
Frequent manual repositioning leads to a high rate of caregiver injuries—61.5%
of nurses report back pain related to patient handling. Optima Turn streamlines
the repositioning process, offering customizable turning cycles that
reduce the need for multiple caregivers, helping to minimize physical strain
and support safer staffing levels.
Advanced Features for Patient Comfort and Safety
- Automated Turning with Alternation: Integrated alternating pressure during turning ensures effective pressure relief across all key positions (turned to left or right side, and supine).
- Optimized for Workflow Integration: Designed to fit seamlessly into existing care routines with minimal disruption.
- Safe Turning with Built-in Bolsters: Provides safeness and security during lateral turning and minimizes the need for external positioning aids.
- Contour Channel Design of Side Bolsters: Optimizes the management of drainage tubes.
- Clinically Proven Performance: Pressure mapping results show consistent pressure reduction to below 32 mmHg in all positions, achieving up to 99% effective pressure relief.
Certified and Ready for Global Use
Optima Turn is available now and certified for use in multiple markets. It
complements Wellell’s broader pressure area care portfolio aimed at delivering
smart, user-centered healthcare solutions.
