Executive Desk:

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.

A Focus on Beds and Pressure Relief

-


       From the beginning, the focus of EHOB, Inc., has been in soft tissue research, education, and product development. Our philosophy on product selection centers on matching the product to the patient and educating the caregiver for economical and effective patient care. From early intervention through treatment of stage 4 pressure ulcers, the WAFFLE® brand offers safe, easy-to-use products that save time and money. But not all overlays are created equally.


       The WAFFLE Mattress Overlay redistributes pressure on the body while reducing shear and friction. Its low-profile design offers stability and patient safety, while the hand wells assist when turning a patient. Air holes allow for circulation and moisture to move away from the body. The WAFFLE Overlay equalizes weight distribution and eases the burden of turning, transferring and mobilizing the patient. WAFFLE overlays can be used on multiple surfaces in multiple settings.
       EHOB provides acute care and long-term care facilities, as well as home care, the most clinically based, cost-effective positioning and support surface solutions available today. Along with our mattress replacements and overlays, EHOB also provides seating cushions and day-chair pads. And, because no support surface can address the heel at all times, EHOB features a family of lower extremity protectors, including our newest splint product.
       For more information, visit www.ehob.com or call 800-899-5553.

       Using a revolutionary MicroSpringTM textile, DermaSaver now offers a complete line of skin protection products, including heel protectors, heel elevators, elbow protectors, and pressure-reduction pads. The breathable, washable, antimicrobial fabric used in DermaSaver products replaces foam, fleece, and gels to reduce pressure, shear, and friction.
       Thousands of microfilaments act as tiny springs to reduce pressure on bony prominences and protect the skin from bumps, bruises, abrasions, and skin tears.
       Hundreds of nursing homes across the country have had extraordinary results preventing wounds and healing skin tears with DermaSaver products. DermaSaver products are patent-pending.
