🔥 Heatstroke isn’t just a summer risk—it’s a medical emergency that can lead to serious complications, including lung injury and Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS).

When the body overheats, systemic inflammation can damage the lungs, impair oxygen exchange, and trigger respiratory failure.

💡 Prone positioning has been shown to improve oxygenation and support lung function in patients experiencing respiratory illnesses—making it a key intervention in severe heatstroke cases.

The Pronova-O2™ Automated Prone Therapy System helps clinical teams deliver this lifesaving therapy efficiently and safely.

🏥 If your facility is interested in automated proning, contact us at 855-ASK-TURN to learn how Pronova-O2™ can support your care.

🌊 Drowning is fast. Silent. And deadly.

Every day, 10 people drown—and for children ages 1 to 4, it’s the #1 cause of death.

Most people don’t realize:
⏱️ It can happen in just 20–60 seconds
💧 In as little as 2 inches of water

Drowning survivors often face severe respiratory complications, including Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS)—a life-threatening condition that requires advanced care.

💡 That’s where Turn Medical can help. Our Pronova-O2™ Automated Prone Therapy System supports critical care teams with safe and effective prone positioning, proven to improve oxygenation in patients with respiratory complications.

🌊 Drowning can lead to more than just water inhalation—it can trigger Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS), a life-threatening condition.

When ARDS develops, the lungs fill with fluid, making it difficult for oxygen to reach the bloodstream. One proven intervention? Prone positioning.
By turning patients onto their stomachs, prone therapy helps improve oxygenation and lung mechanics—especially critical in post-drowning ARDS cases.

💡 The Pronova-O2™ Automated Prone Therapy System simplifies prone positioning, allowing care teams to act quickly and safely during respiratory crises.

🏥 Better positioning can lead to better outcomes.

💙 From tragedy comes the gift of life.
Trauma is one of the leading causes of death in patients eligible for organ donation. In these moments, every second and every system matters.

In some hospitals, the Pronova-O2™ Automated Prone Therapy System is used exclusively for organ procurement—helping maintain optimal oxygenation and perfusion in donors, preserving the viability of organs for transplantation.

This specialized use of Pronova-O2™ supports clinicians and transplant teams in honoring the gift of donation and ensuring the best possible outcomes for recipients.

🫀 Organ donation transforms lives. We’re proud to play a small role in this extraordinary act of humanity.

🔥 Burns go deeper than the skin. Inhalation injury is one of the most serious complications of burn trauma—and it's often life-threatening.

When smoke is inhaled, the respiratory tract may suffer damage from:
• 🔥 Thermal injury
• ☠️ Chemical irritation
• 🧬 Systemic toxicity

These injuries increase the risk of pneumonia, ARDS (acute respiratory distress syndrome), and unstable hemodynamics, all of which contribute to higher mortality in burn patients (Charles, et al, 2022).

💡 Prone therapy has been shown to improve oxygenation in patients with burn-related ARDS, with studies noting positive outcomes and a low rate of complications (Hale, et al 2012).

That’s where the Pronova-O2™ Automated Prone Therapy System can help—by making safe, efficient prone positioning easier for care teams.

🏥 If your facility treats patients with respiratory complications from burns, give us a call at 855-ASK-TURN to learn more about how we can support your care.

Happy Independence Day, America!

🎆Land of the free, home of the brave! Turn Medical is proud to manufacture our products in the USA. Let's celebrate our great nation and support local businesses!

🎆 As we prepare to celebrate Independence Day tomorrow, let’s not forget—firework safety!

In 2023 alone, fireworks-related accidents led to 9,700 emergency room visits and 8 tragic deaths across the U.S. Injuries ranged from minor burns to severe trauma including blindness, amputations, and facial injuries.

🔥 Even sparklers can be dangerous—they burn at a scorching 2,000°F, hot enough to melt metal.

Protect yourself and your loved ones by following these fireworks safety tips:

For healthcare providers, treating burns—especially posterior grafts—can be challenging and complex. The Pronova-O2™ Automated Therapy System helps with prone positioning, while the InteliDerm™ Powered Skin Protection System offers active moisture removal and temperature control in the face and chest.

🏥 If your facility cares for burn patients, call us at 855-ASK-TURN to learn how we can support your burn care protocols this summer.
