SmartCells may reduce peak impact pressure on the hip by as much as 83% compared to a fall onto a concrete surface.*

From a 2’ high fall height, SmartCells reduce the probability of even a mild head injury by a factor of 10.**

SATECH provides many
anti-fatigue/safety products including flooring, mats and runners

Bedside Mattress/Foam Pad Disadvantages:

  • Provide limited protection from fall injuries
  • Become harder with impact, increasing risk of injury
  • Need to be removed to access resident, exposing staff to
    musculoskeletal stress and possible injury
