Fall Prevention
TRUST THE RIGHT TOOLS
The Parasol Fall Prevention System is the first completely wireless, total-room solution that combines fall and real-time incontinence monitoring.
Increase patient safety and reduce costs.
The Parasol Wireless Patient Fall Prevention System provides caregivers with the most advanced tools to prevent costly injuries due to falls and incontinence. It lets them actively and reliably monitor their patients’ movements so they can take action to prevent falls, protecting both the patients and the facility.
PROACTIVELY PREVENT FALLS
By the numbers: why hospital falls need immediate attention
Your patients depend on you to keep them safe. Every year in the United States, 700,000-1,000,000 patient falls occur in hospital settings, with 30-50% resulting in injury and risk of lawsuits.
The Cost of Falls
>$30,000
Average hospital cost from a fall injury. It’s impossible to underestimate the seriousness of falls in acute and long-term care facilities.
Costs From Incontinence
50%
Elimination-related falls are responsible for more than 50% of falls within acute-care facilities.1
Fall Prevention
1/3
Up to 1/3 of all hospital falls can be prevented with active monitoring.2

The Parasol Wireless Advantage
One of the largest hospital networks in Illinois compared the Parasol Wireless Fall Prevention System to a wired alternative. Not only did the wireless system increase patient satisfaction, but it virtually eliminated major fall risks due to human error, reducing missed alerts from 166 out of 1,000 to only 2.

Revolutionary, Real-Time Incontinence Monitoring
drysmart® incontinence pads monitor wetness in real-time and give nurses more time to reach patients before they get up and risk a fall.
