Briggs Healthcare Partners With ErgoNurse

Briggs Healthcare, the leader in healthcare documentation and medical supplies has partnered with ErgoNurse to be the exclusive distributor of their “no-lift” patient repositioning system.

Completely avoid lifting injuries, turn any patient more regularly, and improve the patient experience during every repositioning requirement with the patented, free-standing Ergo Nurse Safe Patient Repositioning System.

“Patient positioning is a key component to patient care and positive patient outcomes. The Ergo Nurse device makes that easy and safer for both patient and caregiver,” said Jeff Piggot, Vice President of Sales at Briggs. “We are excited to share that with our customers.”

The durable frame is offered in a standard model for patients up to 550 pounds. A bariatric unit is available for patients weighing up to 1,000 pounds. The ErgoNurse system does not require any motorized parts and can be used with standard bedsheets, preventing patients and residents from the discomfort of straps or boards. The support bars and retractable strap system used by ErgoNurse ensure patients will not injured or moved to quickly during repositioning.

About ErgoNurse
The ErgoNurse patient repositioning system was created by Elizabeth White, a Registered Nurse with more than 18 years of experience in Medical, Surgical and Intensive Care nursing. After a debilitating back injury in 2003, she was determined to develop a system for bed repositioning that would complement existing safe patient handling equipment. Their equipment can easily and safely move patients weighing up to 1,000 pounds while eliminating 90% of manual patient lifting by nurses. For more information, visit www.ErgoNurse.com.
