LINET

A successful few days at EPUAP 2026 in Dublin!
At the LINET booth, visitors had the opportunity to explore our solutions for patient care and pressure injury prevention, including Essenza 400 with HybriMatt 200 IN, Multicare X with OptiCare X, and the Virtuoso mattress.
We were delighted by the strong interest in our solutions and the many valuable conversations with healthcare professionals. A live demonstration of Multicare X with OptiCare X also showed how the bed and support surface can work together to support both patients and caregivers.
Another highlight was our workshop, “Beyond the Surface: Smarter Decisions for Patient Support,” which focused on practical decision-making when selecting and using support surfaces according to patients’ changing needs.
Thank you to everyone who visited our booth, attended the demonstration or joined the workshop. It was a pleasure meeting you in Dublin!

Support surface selection is not only about following guidance. It also requires clinical judgment and a clear understanding of each patient’s changing needs.

Join our EPUAP 2026 workshop:
Beyond the Surface: Smarter Decisions for Patient Support

Led by Lorraine Thursby, Lead Tissue Viability Nurse at George Eliot Hospital, this practical session will explore support surface selection across different patient postures, with a focus on comfort, protection and appropriate positioning.

Angola’s healthcare transformation continues! 🇦🇴🌍 And this is marked by the opening of the third hospital in a row, fully equipped with LINET. The newly opened Hospital Especializado em Queimados Presidente Julius Nyerere/President Julius Nyerere Specialized Burns Hospital has 54! Multicare X beds and other innovations from our portfolio!

The official inauguration of the Hospital Presidente Julius Nyerere in Luanda took place in the presence of Angolan officials, including President João Lourenço and Ministry of Health Representatives, and was also attended by Samia Suluhu Hassan, President of Tanzania, and the family of Julius Nyerere, the 1st president of Tanzania.

The hospital is a specialist burns centre with a total capacity of 252 beds. Its unique facilities include three hyperbaric chambers to accelerate wound healing and equipment enabling advanced imaging methods, including 3T magnetic resonance imaging.
Another major highlight is the choice of state-of-the-art Multicare X ICU beds, featuring versatile lateral positioning and the automatic ALT function for clinical purposes. In addition, the wards are equipped with Eleganza 1 beds, dozens of Sprint 100 stretchers, Pura chairs and, last but not least, the unique AVE 2 delivery bed. Another technological innovation is the Hybrimatt 100 hybrid mattress, which combines active and passive mattresses in one.

It’s our honour to be a part of building new infrastructure and increasing the quality and accessibility of healthcare in Angola—a big thank you to the Angolan Ministry of Health for its trust. And to our Angolan business partner, Medeng, led by Edgar Meireles, for its excellent cooperation, support, and hard work. Last but not least, we are also grateful to Omatapalo Group for making this project a reality.

In ICU care, nurses face high physical demands every day. They reposition patients, respond quickly in urgent situations, support mobilisation, and often move beds across demanding hospital environments.

Essenza 400 is designed to make everyday handling safer and easier - for both caregivers and patients.
• Mobi-Controls® – support patients during mobilisation and stand-up procedures, helping caregivers stay in control during demanding care situations.
• Low bed height of up to 27.5 cm – helps reduce the risk and severity of patient falls, especially important for vulnerable ICU patients.
• EasyDrive® – enables smoother and less physically demanding patient transport, helping reduce caregiver strain during frequent bed movements.
Together, these features support safer daily routines for patients and more sustainable work for ICU caregivers.

In intensive care, caregivers face constant alerts, documentation demands, and safety-critical decisions. Every unnecessary step takes time away from the patient. Essenza 400 helps simplify daily ICU workflows through advanced technologies designed to support faster decisions, better overview, and smoother routine care.

✓ Integrated scales – provide real-time weight measurement with 0.5 kg precision, including a saving feature for effortless tracking of patient weight.
✓ Mattress integration – helps simplify day-to-day handling and contributes to more efficient routine care, including support for pressure injury prevention with integrated mattress solutions.
✓ DesignInk® – LINET’s unique print technology helps create a calmer environment by reducing patient fear and anxiety, while improving the working environment for caregivers.
✓ SmartTracking – supports hospital efficiency by helping teams locate beds, assets, or patients faster in high-pressure ICU workflows.

Together, these technologies help caregivers spend less time on non-clinical tasks and more time where it matters most: with patients.

In ICU, many high-risk situations can develop quickly. A patient tries to leave the bed. A bed is not fully secured. A caregiver needs to respond before a fall or unwanted movement happens.

That is why Essenza 400 is designed with safety features that help teams act earlier.
• 3-zone bed exit alert – detects patient movement before they try to get up. When needed, a super-sensitive zone can detect even the smallest movement, helping teams intervene early.
• Built-in voice guidance – reminds patients to stay in bed and reassures them that assistance is on the way, supporting safer behaviour in critical moments.
• i-Brake® and brake alerts – help keep the bed safely secured at all times, reducing unintended movement and improving overall safety.

With Essenza 400, safety is not only about reacting to incidents. It is about helping prevent them before they happen.
