Visual Repositioning Cue

Time2Turn, from Intensive Therapeutics, is a translucent clock face overlay that turns your clock into a visual cue reminder for patient turning. Each color-coded two-hour section indicates when the next turn should occur and whether the turn should be to the “back,” “right,” or “left” position. The clock overlay is made of transparent static cling film that sticks to the clock face with no adhesive, so removal is as easy as application.
