What Does 47 Years of Experience Mean to You?
The Right Electric Home Care Equipment.
Geo-Mattress® Max
Cover
The bacteriostatic top fabric is fire resistant, fluidproof, tear
resistant, cleanable, and replaceable. The pleated design allows
full integration with the mattress’s Geo-Matt style shear-relieving
surface while minimizing hammocking.
GeoMatt cut foam top
The patented Geo-Matt® style foam topper is a high density, medical
grade foam. The unique geometric design consists of over 800
individual cells, each of which acts individually to redistribute
pressure, to reduce heat and moisture buildup on the skin, and to
reduce shear to underlying tissues. This foam topper is 2" in height
and includes the unique Heel Slope™ feature, designed to further
reduce pressure for the sensitive heel area.
Multi-tiered core
Beneath the Geo-Matt top, the core is made of two progressively
denser premium foam layers for improved support and longevity.
Firm Perimeter Bolsters
Firmer edges provide safer transfers, more stable edge-of-bed
sitting, and reduced risks of entrapment in siderail/mattress gaps.
Visco-elastic Heel Slope
Heel slope reduces pressure on heels with a subtle taper design that
redistributes pressure onto the more load-tolerant calves.
Viscoelastic insert conforms to the shape of the heel, further
redistributing heel pressure.

Visco-elastic Foam
Sometimes called "T-foam", "memory foam", or "temperature sensitive foam".
Refers to foam that has more of a fluid-like base, sometimes referred to as
a fluid with shape and memory. "Visco" foam has a very slow rate of flow.
The stiffness of visco foam changes with temperature. As it is warmed, for
example by body temperature, it softens, and conforms to the shape placed
upon it. The effectiveness of Visco is highly dependent on its density.
Heel Slope
A feature of a mattress where the foot end of the mattress slopes down,
relieving pressure on the heels. In independent clinical studies, this
method has been shown to decrease interface pressure on the heels an average
of 27% below interface pressures on heels generated on flat foam surfaces.

Polyurethane Foam Mattresses"

The Heel Slope feature on the Geo-mattress Max reduced pressure from the
heels by an average of 27% as compared with the MaxiFloat¨ LXP Mattress.

This write-up is the result of a blinded head-to-head comparison among three
all-foam replacement mattresses. The Geo-Mattress Max was the clear winner
in Clinician Satisfaction, patient Satisfaction, and Patient Comfort, and
equivalent to the other two surfaces in Skin Assessment. The Geo-Mattress
Max was selected as the surface of choice for this 350-bed acute care
hospital.
"Evaluating the Long-Term Performance of a Foam-Core Hospital
Replacement Mattress"

This study compare the stiffness of new foam replacement mattresses to
2-year-old mattresses. Stiffness at the sacral-coccyx region decreased 53%,
heel region decreased 41%, and the head region decreased 30%. A new foam
replacement product may approximate the "ideal" load carrying needs, but
these abilities will change significantly with time.
"Quality Improvement in Patient Treatment and Cost-Effective Care
with the Geo-Mattress Pro®"

Judy Hussey, RN, BSN, Florida State Hospital, Chattahoochee, FL, in Clinical Reports: Series on Skin and Wound Care Management, Jan, 2000.
120 beds in Acute Care, Skilled Care, and Geriatrics areas of this 900-bed
state facility were replaced with the Geo-Mattress Pro foam mattress.
Results: Monthly incidence rate of skin breakdown decreased by 50%. Cost of
rental surfaces decreased by 81%, from an average of $6,461.50 per month to
$1,229.00 per month.
