BONEFOAM LAUNCHES GUARDIAN PATIENT PROTECTION SOLUTIONS TO HELP MINIMIZE HOSPITAL-ACQUIRED INJURIES

Modern Single-Use Solutions Standardize Repeatable, Consistent Patient Safety

CORCORAN, Minn., Oct. 23, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — BoneFoam, Inc. is launching a new portfolio of innovative patient protection solutions aimed at reducing the most prevalent hospital-acquired injuries by delivering consistent, repeatable outcomes at optimized costs.

BONEFOAM LAUNCHES GUARDIAN PATIENT PROTECTION SOLUTIONS TO HELP MINIMIZE HOSPITAL-ACQUIRED INJURIES

The Guardian Patient Protection portfolio includes single-use Face Guard, Arm Guard, Leg Guard and Head Guard to safely address hospital-acquired injuries such as pressure and nerve-related injuries, as well as soft tissue and skin shearing injuries which can occur in prolonged surgeries. Hospital-acquired injuries can lead to extended recovery and additional costs and may negatively affect hospital reimbursement by Medicare’s Hospital-Acquired Condition (HAC) Reduction Program.

“A patient shouldn’t go into an operating room for a procedure and leave with a non-operative pressure-related injury,” said Buzz Hannahan, president and CEO, BoneFoam, Inc. “Guardian’s purpose is simple – raise the standards of patient safety at hospitals and ambulatory surgery centers nationally by reducing risks.” 

According to a recent AORN Journal report, “the surgical positioning for an intervention is fundamental so that it is efficient and safe to perform the surgical procedure. The position of the patient allows exposure, access to the operative site [and] it is the responsibility of all surgical staff to protect the patient from any adverse events resulting from the surgical position.”

BoneFoam intentionally created its Guardian portfolio to align with health systems’ financial goals under value-based reimbursement models. These models strive to reduce complications arising from OR variability and lower cost-burden services like laundry and linen.

(HAC) Hospital-Acquired Condition Reduction Program
The HAC Reduction Program is a Medicare value-based purchasing program that reduces payments to hospitals based on their performance on measures of hospital-acquired conditions (HACs). The HAC Reduction Program encourages hospitals to improve patients’ safety and implement best practices to reduce their rates of infections associated with health care.

What to Look for in an Online GLP-1 Provider: Meant Outlines Five Questions Worth Asking Before Signing Up

Published

on

By

MANASSAS, Va., Nov. 7, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — As more telehealth companies offer GLP-1 care, the options can look alike from the outside, and telling them apart takes more than a glance at a landing page. Meant is sharing five questions consumers can ask when choosing an online GLP-1 provider, along with how it approaches each one.

Five Questions Worth Asking

Who makes the clinical decisions? A trustworthy provider should be clear about which licensed clinicians review each person’s information. At Meant, those decisions are made by licensed providers through its clinical partner, OpenLoop Health.Is there a real evaluation first? Look for a health-history review before anything is prescribed, and for plain language that a prescription is never guaranteed. Meant’s online assessment covers health history, current medications, and goals.Can the company’s credentials be checked? Independent certifications are one signal consumers can verify for themselves. Meant displays the seal for its LegitScript certification on its website.Is it clear who fills prescriptions? Providers should be open about the pharmacies they work with and whether those pharmacies are licensed in the United States.Is ongoing support spelled out, limits included? Good providers explain what follow-up looks like and who handles which questions. Meant pairs care with an optional Care Coach, and medical questions go to the care team.

A certification is a transparency signal, not a government approval or a promise about results, and no checklist replaces a conversation with a licensed clinician. Meant does not diagnose or prescribe, and treatment is not guaranteed for every applicant.

Take a Closer Look

Consumers who want to see how the assessment, clinical oversight, and coaching fit together can visit Meant‘s website and compare the details against the questions above.

Meant is a health and wellness technology company focused on personalized GLP-1 weight-care support delivered through telehealth. The platform combines an online clinical assessment, licensed oversight through OpenLoop Health, Care Coach support, and supplemental wellness resources. Meant does not itself diagnose or prescribe; clinical decisions are made by its clinical partners. Learn more at meant.health.
