Inpro Unveils a Bright Solution for Nighttime Safety in Healthcare Facilities at NeoCon 2024

Muskego, WI – Inpro, a leader in creating durable and design-forward building materials, is excited to announce the launch of its groundbreaking 1000 LED Lighted Handrail. This innovative product will be officially unveiled at the upcoming 2024 NeoCon Expo in Chicago, at Inpro's booth #7-2094, marking a significant advancement in interior design solutions for healthcare facilities and patient care.

This handrail system provides a new opportunity for lighting options within healthcare facilities while being easy to install and integrate seamlessly with existing infrastructure, making it an ideal upgrade for hospitals, senior living communities and long-term care facilities looking to enhance safety measures and patient care. Its durable design and energy-efficient LED technology ensure long-lasting performance with minimal maintenance.

"We are excited to unveil the 1000 LED Lighted Handrail at NeoCon 2024," said Ryan Roessler, Product Manager at Inpro. "This product demonstrates our commitment to innovation, focusing on patient safety and the well-being of the end user. It's a testament to our dedication to offering solutions that not only prioritize style but also enhance the safety and comfort of environments."

Inpro's new 1000 LED Lighted Handrail provides a new solution for nighttime lighting within patient rooms to help prevent slips and falls. In their pivotal study titled "Preventing Falls in Hospitalized Patients: State of the Science," published in May 2019, researchers Jennifer H. LeLaurin, MPH, and Ronald I. Shorr, MD, MS, FACP, highlight the significant role of lighting in fall prevention strategies within hospital settings. They recommend improving lighting conditions in patient rooms and common areas, including the use of nightlights, motion-sensor lights, and higher-intensity, glare-free lighting. These enhancements can reduce the risk of falls by up to 60% (NCBI, 2019).

Key Features of the 1000 LED Lighted Handrail:

• Dimmable and Choice of Light Temperatures: Users can adjust the lighting to suit various environments and preferences, offering flexibility and control over the ambience of the space.
• Durable and Code Compliant: The handrail is constructed with high-quality materials designed to withstand the test of time, ensuring long-term durability and reliability. It is also meticulously engineered to meet all relevant safety codes and standards.
• Enhanced Patient Safety Features: With patient safety as a paramount concern, the 1000 LED Lighted Handrail helps reduce the risk of slips, trips, and falls, particularly in low-light conditions.

In addition to its functional benefits, the lighted handrail also contributes to a more welcoming and calming environment, aiding in patient recovery and comfort. "We understand that the environment plays a crucial role in healing and wellbeing," added Ryan Roessler. "Our lighted handrails offer a sense of security and independence, empowering patients and residents to move confidently within their spaces."
