Softform Bariatric Static Foam Pressure Relief Mattress

Product Information

• Description

  Practical and durable, Softform Bariatric Static Foam Pressure Relief Mattress is suitable for those heavier patients that are considered at ‘Very High Risk’ of developing pressure ulcers.

  The specialist cut foam for pressure redistribution distributes pressure evenly, reducing the risk of pressure ulcers for bariatric patients who have limited range of movement. Many obese patients have difficultly lying flat due to breathing difficulties. The hinged backrest section of the the Softform Bariatric mattress will be an advantage to many.

  Other features include multi-stretch, breathable, waterproof cover and an innovative integrated glide system (see below).

• Features and Options

  Added protection and comfort

  • Multi stretch, breathable, waterproof cover with corner welds, reduces the opportunity for accumulation        of dust and liquid residues.
  • High frequency welded waterproof seams protect the mattress core from contamination.
  • The base of the Softform Bariatric is made from a toughened PU coated material which is designed to            extend the life of the mattress.
  • The vapour permeable fabric allows the skin to breathe and can reduce the effects of skin damage                  caused by profuse sweating, which can be a common problem for many bariatric patients.

  Integrated Glide System

  The ‘glide’ design and split section at the backrest section of the mattress enables it to conform effectively with a profiling bed. This significantly reduces inappropriate and unwanted patient movement that can contribute to tissue damage caused by shear and friction forces, so reducing the need for unnecessary moving and handling*, which can be a difficult task for this group of patients.
