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."

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.
