The Soma Safe Enclosure products form an advanced canopy bed used for restraint and management of patients with cognitive impairment or behavioral issues that relate to their safety or the safety of caregivers. Traditional behavioral management or patient restraint methods include two or four point tie downs, vests, medications, bed alarms, low beds and sitters. For many patients that need restraint, clinical studies have shown that the Soma Safe Enclosure offers many advantages. These include lower cost, faster patient recovery, shortened hospital length of stay, improved patient safety, greater caregiver safety and better overall patient well being. Soma Safe Enclosures are used in medical centers, hospitals, rehabilitation centers, nursing homes, long term care facilities, assisted living and in home care.
Vivax Medical designs, manufactures and markets non-invasive medical devices, durable medical equipment and assistive technology products for use in health care settings such as medical centers, hospitals, rehabilitation facilities, nursing homes, long term care accommodations, assisted living and for use in home health care and by the handicapped and disabled. The company is particularly committed to being on the scientific frontier of creating new products that address the increasing shortage of health care professionals in meeting the needs of patient health care, recovery, rehabilitation and safety while also improving health care economics for hospitals, health insurance companies, managed care organizations, long term care insurance companies, workers compensation insurance companies and individuals through the use of robotics, machine intelligence and other technologies.
