Effective Leaders are Effective Managers, Too

Why is it that no one aspires to be a good manager these days? While good leaders are essential for galvanizing people and moving organizations forward, managers are not any less important. Managers have to get things done through others.The manager is supposed to plan, organize, coordinate, and control.

New Carital Air-Float System Reactive Support Surfaces Combine Pressure Ulcer Therapy and Pain Relief

-


T
he complete line of Carital products is now available in North America from Carital USA. Extremely easy to use and maintain, Carital support systems operate on energy costs of less than $2 per month.
       Carital’s innovative reactive technology features a patented air cell structure, microprocessor controller, and specialty cover. The upper tunnel-shaped cells adapt exactly to different body contours, providing large contact area with the user’s body, which helps to reduce interface pressure and shear. Three to five reactive zones of interconnected inner cells automatically adjust to patient weight and position changes, distributing the load evenly over the whole surface, providing excellent pressure reduction in all patient positions. Unlike other older, larger open systems, which are always pumping vast amounts of air or that continuously “pulse,” Carital’s approach is one of a subtle change and precise control in a closed system, which provides for additional use in patients with somatic pain.
       For more information about the Carital Air-Float System, call (888) 845-6170.
