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.

Safety Edge™ Bolsters

Unique raised perimeter Wings® design combines with the patented Safety Edge™ bolster system to encourage the patient toward the mattress and away from entrapment or falls.  Lowered, padded opening makes transfers easier and safer for user and caregiver. The Safety Edge consists of a firm 2-part foam bolster whose inner edge contours under pressure to direct the patient towards the center of the mattress.

Air Cylinders

The inflation system consists of four urethane air cylinders that run head to foot underneath the body and the foam topper. These cylinders perform the Alternating Pressure Therapy, and the Lateral Rotation Therapy. Cylinders inflate and deflate in a fixed 10-minute cycle. 

Toggle Switch

The toggle switch changes modalities from “Alternating Pressure” to “Lateral Rotation.” The switch is located under a velcroed fabric flap on the side of the mattress at the foot end, as illustrated.

Control Unit

Model 5800 – Comfort Dial on the Control Unit changes pressures inside the cylinders within a small but perceptible range.  This gives the patient some control over firmness, without compromising pressure redistribution or causing bottoming out.  Static button evenly inflates all air cylinders for stability during care or transfers.  Low pressure indicator assists in function and maintenance.
