“We were able to reduce
fractures by almost 45% ,
and less serious injuries
requiring hospitalization or
ER visits. The SmartCells
fall-protection mats are definitely
preventing serious injuries from falls when
falling out of bed. Of the 22 out-of-bed
falls, 12 involved residents with SmartCells
fall protection mats in front of their bed,
where we experienced zero fractures.” Sigrid Howard NHA, Administrator

Dear SATECH,
On behalf of all of the residents of the La Posada Community, let me first say Thank You and offer a congratulations on developing
the finest injury prevention mat I have seen in over 15 years of Long Term Care.
The Smart Cell technology offered in your [injury prevention] mat is the perfect application to preventing injury from falls in a
long-term care setting. We currently use the product at the bedside of some our residents at risk for falling out of bed. Since 2005
we have used the product and on EVERY occasion, when a resident has fallen on the mat, there has been NO INJURY.
The mats work so well in the long-term care arena because of their low profile and design. The design allows a resident to stand,
walk or wheel over the mat without difficulty. Being so thin and inconspicuous one would think it would offer little protection.
This is where the SMART CELL technology takes over. Keeping the mat user friendly for ambulating, yet offering the best shock
absorbing system around is what separates the SATECH product from all others.
I can honestly say after using various floor mattresses and other injury prevention devices, this product is the best I have ever seen.
