“What a great product! I have followed it for years. Viconic substantially reduces the risk of major fall-related injuries.”

— Stuart Scott, Developer

Falls happen in all healthcare settings

Each year, between 700,000 and 1,000,000 people in the United States fall in the hospital. There are approximately 11,000 fatal falls annually. While research shows that close to one-third of falls can be prevented, those that are not prevented may result in fractures, lacerations, or internal bleeding, leading to increased health care utilization.

While the risk of hospital falls is well-established, the risk of slips, trips, and falls pose a significant risk within outpatient facilities as well. Providers need to protect patients against unnecessary injury and their practice against undue liability.

Put up your best defense

Viconic Fall Defense supports healthcare providers to reduce the risk of fall-related injuries. The scientifically-backed system is a layer of protection underneath the floor covering that invisibly protects patients and staff, while minimizing the negative outcomes from a fall.

Your first line of defense-and peace of mind

One fall injury can significantly impact the quality of life for a patient and a provider’s reputation. Get increased protection from falls for your patients and your operation.

Injuries from patient falls increase operational, staffing, litigation, and external costs. Contain those costs by reducing risk of fall-related injuries.

When a patient or staff member falls and suffers an injury, the risk of being sued is real. Reducing risk of fall-related injuries mitigates litigation and liability risks, giving you greater control of your reputation and overall operations.

Your staff walk and stand on the floor for hours each day and need a flooring solution that is comfortable. Viconic Fall Defense provides the comfort to support your ergonomics strategy.

Lessen the impact of noise between floors and between patient rooms, potentially offsetting acoustic costs elsewhere in construction projects.

A problematic flooring installation can increase costs and impede operations. Installing Viconic Fall Defense is simple and straightforward, avoiding any unanticipated glitches.

Selecting Viconic Fall Defense gives you the freedom to work with your preferred flooring manufacturer-or use one recommended by Viconic. The installation process is simple and can be readily handled by your own installer or facilities team.
