Pressure injury prevention

Challenges

  • Prevalence of HAPI is 27% in ICU compared to acute care where it is 6–18.5% (1)
  • Increased skin temperature and moisture increases the risk of skin breaking down (2)
  • Patients in ICU are at higher risk of developing pressure injuries (3)​

Solutions

3-CELL ALTERNATING​ SYSTEM with 7.5 minute cycle

Deflates one cell at a time to ensure safe and complete offloading, preventing bottoming out, while maintaining an interval that simulates natural body movement.

ZERO PRESSURE

3-cell alternating technology creates Zero Pressure by removing pressure periodically under the body over the deflated cell.

MICROCLIMATE​ MAINTENANCE (MCM)​

Helps maintain the body’s natural temperature by using the mattress airflow, optimizing skin temperature and moisture.

AUTOMATIC FOWLER BOOST​

Prevents bottoming out by increasing air in the seating area when the backrest is raised.

- Single point: Inflates steady flow of air when backrest raised to 30 degrees.
- Linear: Continuously and gradually inflates air when backrest raised from 11 to 46 degrees.
