HEALTHCARE PRODUCTS

'The annual cost of treating pressure ulcers to the NHS is estimated to be between £60m - £200m (Dealey, 1994). If the pain and suffering caused to patients is also taken into consideration, then the case for prevention is clear.'
Following many years of research, STM Healthcare has developed an innovative range of products to ensure that the various weight-bearing areas of the body are provided with optimum pressure area care. These products include the Linknurse®, Prima™ and Protector™ mattress brands, our STM™, Neo™ and Salisbury™ cushions and Snuggledown™ and Snugglefoam™ overlays.
STM Healthcare also supply a range of unique chairs, specifically designed to aid patient movement and handling, which are provided with integral pressure distribution seating. No other chairs have the combination of the patented ‘Stand Easy’ system and power driven rising chair and trolley.
