wissner-bosserhoff products offer more
than the average nursing home bed, bed-
side cabinet, or mattress. wissner-bosserhoff
uses its comprehensive market knowledge
to identify, develop, and offer additional
benefits for the user. The safety of residents
and nursing staff takes first priority.
Therefore, many of our product features
make a significant contribution to the
daily safety of both residents and nursing
staff alike.

Falls become an increasing, overall risk as resi-
dents grow older. Statistically speaking, almost
50 % of all people above 80 fall at least once a
year. The percentage of people at risk of falling
is even higher in nursing homes. More than
half of the residents fall at least once per year
according to statistics. People suffering from
dementia are falling twice as much*
.
Fall prevention
Of course, not every fall automatically causes
injuries. Only about 10 % of all falls lead to
injuries that require medical treatment.
But even a fall that does not cause an injury
can lead to anxiety and social withdrawal,
reducing the quality of life of affected resi-
dents and patients.
A key goal in nursing care

The SafeFree®
side guard was patented over
ten years ago and follows the recommenda-
tions of the expert standard on fall prevention.
Depending on the nursing situation and the
height of the resident, SafeFree®
can be
individually adjusted to four different heights.
SafeFree®
side guards can be individually
adapted to the residents’ needs, which is
SafeFree®
- Side guard system
especially important for people suffering from
dementia. Already the first height level of the
head-end side guard reduces the risk of falls
in a sustained manner. The 3/4 protection
creates a bed egress gap on one side of the
foot end for the reduction of restraints*
, while
at the same time maintaining the same high
safety standard.

More fall prevention solutions
SafeSense®
is a clever bed exit solution
equipped with an automatic night light that
helps the resident find his way to the toilet,
for example. The night light is automatically
switched on when the resident leaves the
bed and is switched off when he returns.
Moreover, the intelligent bed exit system is
equipped with a flexible nurse call timing
system that alerts the nursing staff after a
determined time interval according to the
SafeSense®

resident's individual mobility. This increases
safety at night and speeds up the staff's
response in the event of a fall.

All low nursing beds from the sentida product
range are equipped with the intelligent 3-stop
strategy. This integrated 3-stop strategy has a
low position of about 27 cm for safe sleeping,
dramatically mitigating the consequences of
a fall and allowing the resident to sleep safely
without restraints.
3-stop strategy
Many falls are caused by unsafe beds. The
integrated sensor system of the sentida 7-i
sends a signal as soon as an activated assis-
tant reports unsafe bed conditions. This pre-
vents accidents caused by falls. The braking
assistant, for example, issues a warning if the
brake was released and not locked again.

Mobilization
Active and safe mobilization is essential for residents
People who are bedridden have limited
mobility. Movement and mobility have a
positive and preventive effect on patients
under nursing care. Quick mobilization (early
mobilization), for example, can reduce the
risk of post-surgical complications.
Mobilizing residents in nursing care facilities
does not always come without the risk of
falls - this is particularly true for residents
who suffer from dementia.

Mobi-Lift®
Mobi-Lift®
has already proven to be an
exceptionally helpful mobilization aid for
our clinical beds. That's why we now also
offer this useful feature for our intelligent
low nursing bed sentida 7-i as well.
SafeFree®
+ 3-stop strategy
The patented SafeFree®
side guard can
be used for mobilization very effectively.
As it is divided, it can be easily grabbed and
clasped. It serves as a safe standing-up aid
and has been proven to be conductive to
resident mobility.
The 3-stop strategy complements this system
perfectly. The automatic stop at chair height
allows for easy passive and active patient
mobilization.
Our solutions
The resident can fold out Mobi-Lift®
himself
and use it for mobilization. The height can be
adjusted with a button that is integrated into
the knob of the handle.

In the year 2012 alone, more than 85,000
cases of restraints in nursing care were
approved by judges. Among them were mostly
mechanical measures such as the use of bed
rails or restraining belts. These measures
should be the last resort, even if in daily nurs-
ing care it is often hard to find adequate and
Restraints often are at the root of legal problems at nursing homes.

sentida 7-i
The new side guard assistant of the
sentida 7-i intensive care bed automatically
notifies if side guards were pulled up acciden-
tally. This prevents unauthorized restraints,
effectively supporting the work of guardians

The SafeSense®

SafeSense®
is used in combination with low
nursing beds from the sentida range and with

side guards. Not only is it possible
to set them at four different heights, but
they are also the preferred solution by the
standards of the "Werdenfelser Weg" when it
comes to restraints*

More effective pressure ulcer prevention
Pressure ulcers are very unpleasant and
straining for residents. Not only do they suffer
from severe pain, but they also withdraw
themselves from social life. Often, people
affected by this even suffer from depression.
Safe positioning
Therapies usually take several weeks or even
months and may cause further discomfort.
That's why pressure ulcer prevention mea-
sures should be taken from the onset using
suitable aids.

WIBO patient surface with notable relief
When it comes to its nursing beds,
wissner-bosserhoff always relies on BiNetic
patient surfaces. The ergonomic division of
this patient surface helps prevent pressure
points and therefore contributes to reducing
the occurrence of pressure ulcers. The BiNetic
patient surface has a double retraction
mechanism. This means that not only the
backrest, but also the leg rest is located
further away from the seat section, resulting
in a 17 cm larger surface with drastically
less pressure.
Especially residents with a high risk of
pressure ulcers arising from long confinement
to bed benefit from reliable prophylaxis. This
is why the wissner-bosserhoff mattresses
provide optimal pressure distribution for all
the parts of the body that are in contact with
the mattress, considerably reducing the risk
of pressure ulcers.

Ergonomics are crucial for daily nursing care
Every day, nursing staff needs to reposition,
move and mobilize patients. Anyone working
with the elderly and patients knows that this
is backbreaking work - in the truest sense of
the word. Many nursing professionals suffer
Safe nursing care
from back problems. This is most often
caused by lifting heavy objects and people,
straining physical activity and insufficient
use of technical means during the fast-paced
and often stressful everyday work.

Adipose residents in care facilities have
special nursing and therapy needs: Auxiliary
equipment such as the bed or wheelchair
have to be appropriate for the weight and size
of the resident.
The carisma 300-xxl combines its customary
design with high functionality to improve care
for these residents. It offers a safe working
load of 300 kg with a maximum resident
weight of 270 kg.
carisma 300-xxl
The height of our nursing home beds can
be adjusted up to 80 cm. This allows even

Safety concepts for home care
As new living concepts arise, home care also
changes. Up to a few years ago, taking care
of people with limited mobility at home was
very similar to the care provided in hospitals.
Both the main and auxiliary equipment was

rather rudimentary and scarcely suitable for
a warm and welcoming home. Today, beds
have a more homely design and a vast array
of functions. Especially the safety equipment
is in high demand nowadays.
