Pelican Post - June 2007A newsletter to keep you up-to-date with news and new items from Pelican Manufacturing Pty Ltd In this issue:
New Item – EvacMat This item is designed to evacuate non-ambulant people during an emergency. Evacuation during the night can make use of Evacuation Sheets which are normally already under the bed mattress, but during the day many patients may not be in bed. It is impractical to ask them to get back to bed so they can then be rescued. This item can be stored in a cupboard and easily taken to where the patients are. Four can be carried at one time. The item stores neatly in a highly visible bag, which has three Velcro sides making it easy to open in a hurry. It also has easy to following pictorial instructions on the front so in an emergency it is easy to see how to use the EvacMat. The item is entirely padded with an extra pillow under the head. The three wide Velcro straps completely enclose the patient to help prevent the possibility of patients reaching out for anything as they are being rescued. This also helps keep people safe once they are in a safe location, especially people with dementia who may wander. Because of the built in padding, the EvacMat is safe and comfortable for people when going down stairs and over rough surfaces. It will adjust to size so the patient does not slip down inside the EvacMat when going down stairs. We also manufacture Evacuation Sheets which are left underneath bed mattresses all the time. The details and links to the items on our website are below. Here are the main features and benefits of the EvacMat:

Links to our website and prices: NEW! Soft Transfer Belt (Item # 527S) Special Item – ICU Clear Bed Rail ProtectorsIn February’s edition of the Pelican Post we told you about the new Clear See-Through Bed Rail Protector. Since then, we had made some slight alterations for a local hospital’s ICU. The Velcro straps were changed to plastic clip buckles for infection control purposes, and 4 straps were used instead of 3. If you require a special design for your beds we can customise the design. Links to our website and prices: NEW! Bed Rail Protector – Clear See-Through (Item # 214C) Special Item – Folder HolderWe were recently asked to make a durable Folder Holder for a hospital to store patient’s files in while in a cabinet. They were previously using cardboard holders which dropped into the draws to hold the file, but were finding that the cardboard dividers easily broke and were constantly fixing them with masking tape. As a guide, this item costs $68 for twenty files spaces, but we can also make them to hold as many files as required. If you have any suggestions, comments, ideas, or feedback regarding any of these items that you think we should consider for further development of these items, please let us know.
