Agiliti Unveils the Adapt Line™ of Therapeutic Support Surfaces
Agiliti, a leading provider of medical device solutions, has made an impressive stride in healthcare technology with the launch of its Adapt Line™ of therapeutic hospital support surfaces. These surfaces are specifically engineered to enhance patient comfort and reduce the risk of pressure injuries, which often occur during prolonged periods of bed rest.
Introduction of the Adapt Line™
During a recent announcement, Tom Leonard, the CEO of Agiliti, highlighted this new product line as a milestone for the company. He stated that Agiliti is among the few manufacturers of therapeutic support surfaces that offer an extensive suite of medical device management, maintenance, and clinical service solutions. With over 80 years of experience, Agiliti prides itself on being a trusted source for ready-access medical technology, and the Adapt Line™ further enhances its clinical capabilities.
The Adapt Line™: Key Models and Features
The Adapt Line™ consists of three innovative models: Adapt Air Pro™, Adapt Air™, and Adapt Convertible™. Each of these models is meticulously designed to cater to patients with varying acuity levels, ensuring optimal pressure injury prevention and treatment.
Advanced Design for Patient Safety
Each model in the Adapt Line™ utilizes proprietary immersion and alternating pressure algorithms, which are critical for effective pressure injury management. A recent clinical study involving 84 critically ill patients highlighted that 100% of clinical staff surveyed recommended Adapt Air Pro™ due to its ease of use and effective management of pressure distribution.
Innovative Features of the Adapt Line™
Key attributes of the Adapt Line™ include:
- Adapt Pump™: This quiet and user-friendly pump is compatible with all models in the Adapt Line™, maintaining surface inflation during transport while offering up to eight customizable support levels for improved patient outcomes.
- Next-Gen Microclimate Management: Featuring specially formulated fabric and AirSpace™ mesh, the Adapt Pump™ provides continuous and optimized airflow beneath the patient/surface interface.
- Proprietary CoreShield™: A waterproof top cover with reinforced seams in the Adapt Convertible model ensures durability against care challenges, fluid ingress, and supports infection prevention.
- Capacity Expansion: This line allows for transformations in length, width, and weight capacity, accommodating a range of patient needs—with changes from 35 to 48 inches in width and a weight capacity of up to 1,000 lbs.
- Vertical Cell Technology: The Adapt Air Pro™ features twenty 8-inch air cells that optimize immersion and envelopment, providing effective pressure redistribution therapies.
The Clinical Impact of the Adapt Line™
Each year, nearly 3 million patients in the U.S. receive treatment for pressure injuries related to support surfaces, leading to hospital costs exceeding $17.8 billion. Tim McCarty, Agiliti’s General Manager of Beds and Therapeutic Support Surfaces, emphasized the critical role support surface selection plays in injury prevention and treatment. The new features of the Adapt Line™ have been demonstrated to mitigate pressure injuries effectively while aiding in their healing process.
