AutoTurn Lateral Turning System

About the AutoTurn Lateral Turning System

The Opera® AutoTurn is a lateral turning system that sits under any mattress. It is designed to prevent and relieve pressure and turns any standard bed into an automated lateral turning bed. The AutoTurn redistributes pressure through its inflating and deflating air cells at a constant and comfortable flow. The automatic frequent turning supports care givers in the regular turning of high-risk individuals utilising the 0-30° lateral turning positioning system for prevention and treatment of pressure ulcers. The system automatically turns the user gently and quietly, without the intervention of a carer. The AutoTurn Bariatric is also available to accommodate users weighing up to 400kg.
