Welcome to Squirrel Medical
Squirrel Medical specialise in the design, manufacture and distribution of alternating air mattresses and pressure ulcer prevention cushions. Our range of airflow mattresses have been created to meet the needs of the clinician and patient within the modern care home as well as those within domestic settings.
The Squirrel Diamond
This specialism allows us to consider the complex requirements of the non ward environment – such as self initiated positioning, safe wheelchair transfer, Bed falls and entrapments
and preventing mattress acquired infections. Squirrel offer free training materials including videos, documentation an presentations to cover topics such as:
Bed rails and Pressure Ulcer Prevention.
The issue of side rails in patient care
The issue of infection control in patient care
The Squirrel Medical approach to patient safety and regulatory compliance
However it is you the customer that really creates the ideas – in fact our ground breaking
Squirrel Diamond™ came in to being following discussion with several end users.
Physiotherapists and occupational therapists required a stable surface for a safe wheelchair transfer , whilst tissue viability nurses required a full replacement mattress would offer comfort to those with hip replacements and skeletal pain. Infection control required a low cost and easy to replace mattress cover. Health & Safety required an alternating dynamic mattress that would not render the bed rails ineffective and our patients demanded comfort and ease of use for home care situations.
