DHG – a provider of solutions for pressure ulcer prevention and safe patient mobility
Direct Healthcare Group positions itself as a manufacturer and supplier of medical equipment focused on the prevention and treatment of pressure ulcers and on the safe transfer and positioning of patients. A key part of the portfolio consists of intelligent pressure-relief surfaces—mattresses, pillows, and overlays, including the Dyna-Form series of hybrid systems and Dyna-Tek seating solutions—designed for various risk levels up to Category IV. The offering also includes specialized seating, solutions for bariatric care, and products designed for acute and community care.
The company complements its manufacturing with comprehensive services, including rental and 24/7/365 service, the supply of hospital beds and equipment for safe patient transfers, as well as expert consulting and systematic staff training. The goal is to accelerate the deployment of the appropriate aid “at the right time for the right patient,” thereby reducing the incidence of pressure ulcers and the operational burden on healthcare facilities.
The claimed benefits of intelligent pressure management include faster assignment of the appropriate surface, savings in nursing time, and reduced costs compared to traditional dynamic mattresses. These conclusions are based on clinical trials and manufacturer materials. Independent publications focusing on hybrid surfaces (e.g., Mercury Advance) further describe a decrease in the incidence of pressure ulcers and improved patient triage in clinical practice.
DHG operates in hospitals, rehabilitation and long-term care facilities, as well as in the home care sector. The portfolio is designed to be modular—ranging from quick overlay solutions for emergency admissions to fully controlled mattresses and seating systems with pressure mapping and documentation support. Emphasis is placed on clinical verifiability, staff ergonomics, and reducing total cost of ownership.
In terms of its corporate history, the brand was founded in 2009 and has long focused on research and development of technologies in the field of Pressure Area Care, expanded to include solutions for safe patient transfers, fall prevention, and medical equipment rental services. In recent years, the company has grown through acquisitions and is listed in the portfolio of the ArchiMed investment group (MED Platform I).
For healthcare facilities that require demonstrably effective pressure ulcer prevention and safe patient transfers with guaranteed rapid availability and service, this brand serves as a comprehensive partner—from clinically validated products and continuous rental services to support for the implementation of standardized care procedures.
