John Thornton Posey founded the J.T. Posey Company in 1937, when he built a foot cradle for a hospitalized friend who complained about the weight of the bedcovers on his bare feet. The hospital liked the idea, and asked for a price for 12 foot cradles. The Posey Company landed its first order, and made a profit of $12.
As John Posey showed the foot cradles to other hospitals in the San Francisco area, he was asked to develop other products to assist in patient care. Soon, he expanded his travels beyond San Francisco, and after many years John built a company with a worldwide reputation for innovative and practical healthcare products. In 1991, John handed the president's gavel to his third son, Ernie, while maintaining a leadership role as Chairman of the Board.
Today, the J.T. Posey Company manufactures over 600 healthcare/safety products with every product bearing the Posey name and made to the same exacting standards established by John Posey over 60 years ago. Posey quality is the result of the dedication of over 300 craftsmen with an average tenure of 12 years service.
Since introducing its first fall monitor in 1992, the Posey Company has become the leading provider of innovative, restraint-free, fall management products. Posey fall management products quickly earned the confidence of health care providers, and in a recent survey published by Nursing Homes Magazine, caregivers ranked the Posey Company #1 in fall prevention. Recent product releases include the Sitter II® Fall Prevention Monitor, Hipsters® padded briefs, and the Floor Cushion fall mat.
In addition to high quality, cost-effective products, the Posey Company is a leading provider of education materials including videos, posters, manuals and resource guides. Many Posey in-service and educational programs are approved for continuing education credit. The most recent, "Reducing the Risk of Unassisted Bed Exit," is a comprehensive fall management tool that outlines intervention strategies to lower the risk of patients who attempt to exit their bed unassisted.
Posey products are available on a no-obligation 30-day trial (some restrictions apply, call Customer Service for
