Thanks to Dry Julyers generosity Calvary Mater Newcastle now benefits from the purchase of two new HoverMatts. The HoverMatt Air Transfer System allows ward staff to safely transfer patients without lifting or straining. The Matts are extremely helpful to move patients who may be difficult to move because of their pain or size. The Matts provide the patient with more comfort and safety, with reduced skin shear and bruising.

Wendy Johnson, Haematology Nurse Unit Manager comments, “The HoverMatt makes moving our patients so much easier for the nurses and our patients feel much more comfortable throughout the process as well. They are a fantastic piece of equipment and we are very grateful to have been able to purchase them thanks to our Dry July supporters.”
