The Morel Company

The Morel Company manufactures Hercules, an automated patient repositioning and boosting system designed to attach to virtually any hospital bed. The device eliminates manual patient lifting and repositioning, reducing nursing injury risk and improving workplace safety. Hercules can boost patients weighing up to 750 pounds and operates with a single button push, reducing boosting time to approximately 10 seconds per lift. The system integrates with existing mattresses or therapy surfaces via a clip mechanism, or can be paired with Morel's proprietary Dream Sheet (available in launderable and single-patient-use disposable options) and mattress options including Dream Gel, Dream Air, and Dream Therapy. Over 500 U.S. hospitals have deployed Hercules, with documented impact including elimination of boosting-related nursing injuries, average savings of 77 minutes per nurse per shift, and reported improvements in nurse retention and recruitment. The company emphasizes compatibility with standard and bariatric beds, integration simplicity, and clinical outcomes centered on caregiver safety and patient comfort. Manufacturing is performed in the USA. The product is marketed to hospital nursing leadership, CNOs, and care teams seeking to standardize patient repositioning protocols and reduce work-related musculoskeletal injury.
