Adelaide Advertiser

An article published by the Adelaide Advertiser has named The Ezy-As as one of the top 10 successful inventions from 200 episodes of the New Inventors.

You can view the article at here.

The Northern Hospital at Epping in Victoria have adopted Ezy-As™ with a holistic approach that delivers benefits to staff and patients:

Anti-embolic stockings are a well know strategy in the prevention of venous blood clots. The stockings provide measured compression around the legs and due to this are difficult to apply. Over the years some devices, including plastic shopping bags, have been used to assist with the application. Some worked better then others, but I have not seen any that work as well as the new EZY-AS.

It really is as easy as! Staff and patient's alike love this new invention! It is easy to use, easy to clean and very cost effective. At The Northern Hospital EZY-AS applicators are stored next to our antiembolic stocking supply. When required, staff collect both stockings and applicator. Either staff use the EZY-AS to apply the stockings, or they teach the patient on how they can do this themselves.

To check skin integrity and for hygiene purposes, stockings must be briefly removed at least twice a day. To ensure good compliance we now keep the EZY-AS at the patient's bed-side, either until the stockings are no longer required or the patient is discharged. They are stored in the "Ikan holder" (available from same supplier). We have now mounted these holders on the inside of all our inpatient wardrobes as they are ideal to store slide sheets, the EZY-AS etc. Staff and patients love using the EZY-AS. It is such an easy solution for such a long-standing problem! You should try it!
