Clinical case study – Argyll Hybrid; a modern effective design of a Hybrid Mattress?
The purpose of commissioning this document is to identify the clinical performance and suitability of Winncare PAC’s latest hybrid mattress design – The Argyll Hybrid™ classified to be used on patient groups being very high risk of pressure damage (including existing wounds up to and including Grade IV). Sincere consideration of using a very high-risk static and dynamic mattress combined in a single product, versus that of independent mattresses (separate systems) is at the height of the papers ethos.

Occupational Therapy – case study
This case study is written using the PET occupational therapy model. In 1996 Law et al developed the person environment occupation model as a response to an identified need of occupational therapy, which describes the theory and application of the interaction between the person (P), their environment (E) and the task (T) or occupation. The model gives a defined framework to enable OT’s to concisely clinically reason their intervention.
Case Study: When the Inflatable Lifts Replace Bended Backs
This project takes as its starting point the fact that approx. 1,700 times every year, an elderly citizen in the City of Copenhagen falls in their home and cannot get up again without help. Employees in home care are called out to these falls, but it is often also necessary to summon assistance from the fire brigade.
This has meant that citizens have often had to lie on the floor for more than 1 hour before help arrives, as the fire brigade’s main tasks are emergency, life-threatening events.
Falls: The huge cost to the individual, Nursing homes, their carers, the NHS and social care.
This paper gives an insight in the costs, personal and financial and how simple investment of equipment in the right place at the right time could potential save lives and significant money.
Case Study: The North Manchester Care Home Project
This case study examines how North Manchester CCG identified ways in which they could achieve better outcomes for residents who may have had a fall in their care homes. This was achieved by introducing more dignified falls equipment, to aid care home staff in moving uninjured residents, thus reducing the need to call an ambulance for assistance.

Reducing Musculoskeletal Injuries In Care Facilities
It has been stated that “The adult human form is an awkward burden to lift or carry. Weighing up to 200 pounds or more, it has no handles, it is not rigid, and is susceptible to severe damage if mishandled or dropped. When lying in a bed, a patient is placed inconveniently for lifting, and the weight and placement of such a load would be tolerated by a few industrial workers”.[1]
