Value Analysis

INFECTION CONTAINMENT

By preventing the transfer of soiled linens between surfaces during and after patient transfers, MUV™ ELITE helps hospitals meet CDC Isolation Practice Standards for handling, transporting, and processing soiled linens.

​Moving patients from the operating table to recovery has never been cleaner.

MP Pads are protected in the  MUV™ ELITE housing throughout the transfer, providing a clean, absorbent surface for the patient EVERY TIME.

SAFETY

National statistics reflect a growing concern over the financial burden of staff injuries in a hospital setting:

The MUV™  advantage

According to the American Nurses Association: 

 

56% of nurses report shoulder, back, neck or arm pain at work.

 

20% of nurses said they changed their employment setting due to back pain.

 

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics: 

 

13.3: average number of missed work days by healthcare workers due to overexertion in lifting/lowering patients.

 

According to the Journal of Nursing Management: 

 

Estimated cost of nurse turnover: $27,000-103,000.

90% patient weight reduction during transfer with MUV™
 
80% of low back torque eliminated with MUV™
 
In a comparison of 5 patient transfer devices, MUV™ "offered minimal requirement for rolling and/or positioning patients after transfer."
As cited in a peer-reviewed study "Saving Your Back" Nursing, Jan. 2016

MOISTURE MANAGEMENT

MUV™ MP Pads meet multiple AORN practice standards and CDC guidelines for patient handling and moisture management.  

The patient and MUV™ MP Pad travel together to recovery.

  • No soiled, wrinkled linens traveling with patients 

  • No dragging patients over dirty linens

  • No re-positioning patients or removing linens after transfer

Moisture

​

Superabsorbent

Polymer

 

Hydrogel

MUV™ MP Pad Wick+Lock technology traps and absorbs over 3 Liters of fluid on contact, keeping the patient clean & dry.

TIME SAVINGS

How does the MUV™ ELITE save money:

​

Cases per Month x Minutes Saved per Case =

Minutes Saved per Month

Example 1:
MUV™ ELITE vs. Traditional Air Product
 
Based on a hospital with a case load of 1,000 cases per month, the hospital would save 1530 minutes per month using the MUV™ ELITE compared to using an air product. 

​

1,000 (cases per month) x 92 seconds saved (1.53 minutes) = 1530 minutes saved per month. 

Example 2: 
MUV™ ELITE  vs. Roller Board

​

Based on a hospital with a yearly case load of 1,000 cases per month, the hospital would save 450 minutes per month using the MUV™ ELITE compared to using a roller board.

​

1,000 (cases per month) x 27 seconds saved (.45 minutes) = 450 minutes saved per month.
