We know you don’t breathe easier until your patients do. Count on our timely, clinically proven respiratory therapies to help avoid complications, keep airways clear and improve patient outcomes in your ICU.
When patients have pulmonary complications, it typically means more time spent in the ICU and added costs for hospitals. Oscillation & lung expansion (OLE) therapy has been proven to address this challenge in many ways, including:
31%
Overall relative reduction in postoperative pulmonary complications2
2 Day
Reduction in ICU LOS2
64%
Reduction in time on a ventilator 2
The ever-changing critical care area calls for comprehensive airway clearance strategies. When our customers combine both oscillation & lung expansion (OLE) therapy and high-frequency chest wall oscillation (HFCWO) into one comprehensive airway clearance protocol, they have seen results across the hospital with multiple patient types.

We believe safety and mobility should go hand in hand — and that applies to clinicians as well as patients. Our safe patient handling solutions can help you safely mobilize patients without risking injury or requiring more clinicians than necessary. Our safe patient handling solutions include:
Overhead Lifts
Always at hand to help you mobilize patients safely and easily
Mobile Lifts
To bring safe patient handling support wherever you need it
Slings and Accessories
To best support each unique patient and environment
In the ICU, movement is key to stability. Help your high-acuity patients recover more quickly by getting them moving earlier and often. We can help.
Immobility in the ICU is associated with muscular atrophy, delirium, pulmonary issues, skin breakdown, bacterial infections and depressive moods.7 Early mobility programs have been shown to be safe, feasible and effective for ICU patients. In fact, a study conducted at the Cleveland Clinic with 637 neurology ICU patients found that a progressive mobility program (featuring in-bed pulmonary therapy) led to:
