Challenges
- Pressure air mattresses may impact ability to move in bed and/or egress the bed. (1)
- 57% of patients who are nursed in the prone position develop pressure injuries. (2)
- Patient with an existing category I of pressure injuries can be in high risk of developing category II and higher. (3)
Solutions
Optimize Mode
Optimal immersion and envelopment, supported by LINET®’s Bottoming Out Detection System.
For high-risk patients, long-term therapy.
Prone Mode
Weight-based CLP* with enhanced air support for pressure redistribution and stability.**
For prone-positioned ICU patients.
Mobile Mode
Weight-based CLP* with balanced air levels to redistribute pressure while maintaining stability.**
For early mobilization, partial mobility.
Max Mode
Firm, stable surface for procedures and transfers; automatically returns to the previous mode after 30 minutes.
For nursing procedures, repositioning, transfers.
