More Details

Structure
* Cell in cell design which contributes to user safety by increasing the clearance between inflating

* Base material Nylon fabric 420 denier with a 0.1mm TPU coating

Cover

* Vapour permeable, waterproof top cover with multi stretch fabric to help minimise friction and reduce shear

Accessories
* Included wheeled carry bag for transport, storage and documentation retention
* Optional control unit hooks with a range of shapes and sizes to suit a range of bed styles

Considerations

* All pressure reduction products must be monitored to prevent 'bottoming out'. This occurs when the user's weight bears down so hard on the product material that it is flattened and the bony parts are pressed against the surface below the cushion or mattress. Where bottoming out occurs even with correct use (eg correct inflation levels), a different product may need to be considered.

* It is advisable that a health professional be consulted when considering a suitable pressure care product.
