The Hybrid-Power support surface combines the pressure redistributing properties of high specification foam, with dynamic therapy. Castellated visco-elastic foam delivers a high degree of pressure redistribution as it conforms to the shape of the body, while alternating cells assist with pressure relief when the power unit is in use. A turning pillow provides additional comfort for the patient. The time taken to move a patient out of bed to swap a support surface impacts on quality nursing time. If a patient requires a different therapy to be either 'stepped up' or 'stepped down', there can be a number of restraints. In addition, the costs associated with support surfaces can increase when two different surfaces are required.
The Opera Memory Adjustable mattress is constructed from a visco/memory foam topper and a supportive, filler-free reflex foam base to provide pressure-relieving benefits
The clinically proven Norfolk™ 120 pressure-reducing mattress has been developed using the very latest combustion-modified ether foam technology (CME). This high-quality product features a castellated foam surface, which sits on a sturdy “U shaped” foam base. The pressure-reducing, castellated zones are shaped smaller at the head and foot ends in order to maximise pressure re-distribution in the most vulnerable areas, whilst demonstrating larger castellations in the centre so that the mainstream patient weight can be managed effectively. The castellations not only provide superior pressure relief and postural support but the channels cuts ensure that the mattress provides a constant airflow around the patient. This airflow assists in controlling temperature and therefore endeavours to improve comfort and the patient's ability to sleep.
