More Details

* Designed for use on top of existing mattresses and can be used on both standard and profiling bed frames
* May be suitable for bariatric use up to the specified load capacity

Structure
* 21 individual cylindrical nylon TPU air cells span the full width of the overlay
* Cells alternate 50/50 including 3 static head cells
* An alternating series of air cells is used. These inflate and deflate in a ten minute cycle progressively supporting and relaxing areas of the body where pressure injuries usually occur
* The overlays have strong nylon PVC bases with integrated heavy duty zipper seals
* Each durable nylon air cell is individually replaceable. The cells clip into place on the base

Cover
* Multi stretch PU which is breathable and waterproof
* It is secured to the base via heavy duty zipper
* The low shear and stretch fabric prevents 'hammocking' between cells

Attachment
* The mattress replacement system has three straps stitched into the base which have adjustable clip ends to loop underneath the bed and fasten to themselves. The result is a firm bond between the two

Pump / Control
* The Premium Control Unit is designed to inflate the system underneath a person weighing up to 200kg
* It features a static switch, low pressure light, hanging hooks, adjustable incremental pressure dial and quick release hose connectors
* It also has and variable pressure controls and visual alarms
* Cycle time is 8 - 10 minutes
* The unit has low noise operation and easy press on hoses
* An optional Power Down Alarm provides a visual and audible alert to any control unit power failure. This alarm is standard on the pump supplied by Mac Med Healthcare

Safety Features
* CPR tag for fast deflation in an emergency
* Low pressure light
* Power down alarm is optional

Cleaning
* Machine washing and infection control instructions are attached
* System can easily clip apart for cleaning

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.
