More Details

Structure
* Static head cells to add stability and help reduce sleep disturbance
* 21 cell in cells (including 3 static head cells)
* Cell material: high density 210 denier TPU Double thickness and thermally coated polyurethane
* Base material: Nylon fabric 420 denier with a 0.1mm TPU coating

Cover
* Vapour permeable, water resistant, two way stretch top cover with infection control side flaps and taped seams
* RF welded seams and pleated skirt covering mattress sides for better infection control
* Cover material is PU coated polyester

Attachment
* Quick release connectors
* Base attachment includes straps and anti-slip mats, which can secure to most hospital style beds

Pump / Controls
* Electrically operated
* Adjustable digital control unit with eight comfort pressure settings
* Alarm mode is visible, audible and diagnostic
* Timed transport and static functions for stable patient treatment
* Mode of Operation is non-continuous - only activates when needed

Safety Features
* Visible and accessible CPR tag for extra fast emergency deflation
* Cord retention system to reduce potential as a trip hazard and accidental disconnection from power
* Anti-kink hosing: air supply is not cut off if hose is bent or squeezed around frame
* Automatic Static cutout after 20 minutes for user safety

Accessories
* Included wheeled carry bag for transport, storage and documentation retention
* Optional concave positioning cover - helping to prevent patient falls and injuries
* 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.
