CHARLOTTE, N.C., and PARIS – Joerns Healthcare, a provider of health care technology and equipment, has entered into a strategic partnership with Winncare, a European provider of mobility solutions, to introduce its moving and handling product range to the U.S. market.
"We are excited to bring these new safe patient handling solutions to the U.S. health care market as a complement to our Hoyer-branded Safe Patient Handling solutions," said Doug Ferguson, chief strategy officer of Joerns Healthcare. "We know the impact on the patient and caregiver after a fall goes well beyond the immediate event. These products provide impactful new opportunities to improve the response for all should a fall occur."
Winncare's Mangar Lifting Cushion range has been used across the U.K., Europe and Australasia since 2006. The cushions are designed to lift from the floor to seat or bed height, protecting health care workers from injuries often sustained through repetitive lifting.
"Winncare is excited to partner with Joerns Healthcare in bringing the Mangar lifting cushion portfolio to the U.S. market,” said Laurent Faugere, president of Winncare. “These products have proven to be valuable interventions in managing patients that have suffered from a fall for both the patient and caregiver."
