The LATERANEO redefines modern care with its integrated lateral tilt technology. Combining innovation, ergonomics and safety, it enables more efficient care processes, supports gentle resident handling and contributes to a more sustainable and future-oriented care environment.<br><br>Innovation, safety and ergonomics are redefined with the LATERANEO. The new nursing bed for long-term care with integrated lateral tilt demonstrates what modern care can achieve today and in the future. Using the control panel or foot pedals on both sides, caregivers can effortlessly tilt the bed up to 15° to the side. This reduces strain on caregivers and supports the safe mobilisation of residents. For a better quality of life in everyday care.<br><br>Challenges<br><br>When caregiving takes its toll, the entire sytem suffers. With 600,000 care workers for the elderly in Germany, musculoskeletal disorders result in approximately 3,720,000 days of absence per year.10 This in turn equates a workforce of almost 17,000 full-time care workers, costing a care home an average of over € 50,000 per year. The damage to society as a whole is therefore enormous.<br><br>Day-to-day care work involves considerable physical strain as these figures clearly demonstrate:<br><br>Immobile, bedridden residents are repositioned up to 11 times per shift7<br><br>20% of nursing staff’s working hours are spent on mobilising and repositioning residents8<br><br>On some days, 1.8 tonnes are lifted or moved by one care worker per shift9<br>
