GelPro Introduces Industry-First Designer Rug + Mat Combo

Leave a comment


New Ergo Comfort Rugs from GelPro

The Ergo Comfort Rug combines three products in one: a washable, designer-inspired rug, a supportive comfort floor mat, and a slip-resistant system that safety secures both to the floor.”


AUSTIN, Texas (PRWEB)

Adding to its popular comfort floor mat product line, GelPro today introduces a first-of-its-kind accent rug that combines the look and feel of a stylish rug with the plush support of a luxury comfort mat. The new Ergo Comfort Rug™ by GelPro features a removable and washable rug with a patent-pending attachment system that keeps both the rug and mat securely in place.

“We have noticed a trend of Persian and designer-inspired rugs showing up in rooms like the kitchen and bath. These types of rugs add style and texture to a space, but are hard to clean, can slide and move, and do not offer any comfort or support while you stand,” says Tawnya Quiet, vice president of product development and marketing at GelPro. “Designed specifically for the kitchen and bath, the Ergo Comfort Rug addresses these issues by combining three products into one: a washable, designer-inspired rug, a supportive comfort floor mat, and a slip-resistant system that safely secures both to the floor.”

Made of stain-resistant polyester with a soft, chenille texture, this durable rug is removable and can be spot cleaned or machine-washed. Integrated into the patent-pending design are four GellyGrippers™ that secure the rug to the floor, keeping it from slipping or bunching and removes the need for a rug pad or a non-slip pad. The comfort mat that attaches under the rug is made of energy-return polyurethane foam for resilient support and ultra-plush comfort while standing.

Available in 15 patterns and an array of stylish colors, the Ergo Comfort Rug and replacement rugs are available on GelPro.com, Amazon.com and at select retailers. The standard-size is 24” x 34” and retails for $59.95; the runner-size for larger spaces is 24” x 76” and retails for $119.95. The GelPro mat comes with a one-year warranty; the rugs come with a six-month warranty.

Headquartered in Austin, Texas, GelPro was founded in 2003 by Robb and Lisa McMahan to develop the most comfortable, plush, anti-fatigue floor mats. The company has sold more than three million mats, the majority of which are manufactured in Waco, Texas. They are sold directly at GelPro.com and at national retailers, including Bed, Bath & Beyond, Walmart, Amazon.com, Target.com, Wal-Mart.com, Staples.com, and many other kitchen specialty stores.

Her background includes a bachelor’s degree in nursing from San Diego State University and a Master of Science in Physician Assistant studies from Western University of Health Sciences.

She’s a native of Madrid, Spain, and speaks fluent English and Spanish, a benefit that helps communication among both patients and staff.

Best Practices to Reduce Outsourcing Compliance Risk, Upcoming Webinar Hosted by Xtalks

Leave a comment


Xtalks Life Science Webinars

Failing to demonstrate proper oversight can result in regulatory findings, trial delays, and even study shutdowns.


TORONTO (PRWEB)

On Tuesday, December 10, 2019 at 12pm EST Xtalks will host a live webinar with guest speakers Henry Galio, Senior Director, Vault CTMS, Veeva Systems and Ed Dougherty, Senior Solution Consultant, Veeva Systems.

In a clinical environment where studies are increasingly complex and sponsors continue to outsource trials to contract research organizations (CROs), it’s even more important that clinical trial management systems (CTMS) and other clinical systems ensure sponsors are compliant with oversight requirements.

Sponsors must demonstrate that they are actively managing the oversight of outsourced studies and ensuring subject safety, as the ultimate responsibility for trial conduct and quality lies with the sponsor. Failing to demonstrate proper oversight can result in regulatory findings, trial delays, and even study shutdowns.

Key topics include:


  • Best practices to ensure oversight in an outsourced model

  • Top areas, key risk indicators and key performance indicators recommended for tracking proper oversight and CRO governance

  • Tips and tricks to get more from your oversight CTMS application

This webinar will benefit senior professionals working in clinical operations, clinical research, strategic development, and vendor management. Specific titles include VP of Clinical Operations, Director of Outsourcing, Clinical Trial Manager, Director of Vendor Management, and Clinical Study Lead.
