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:

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."

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.
