1.8 How it Works
Dabir Technology was developed on the principle of supporting a person on small, closely spaced areas of
contact (Comfort Nodes) that dynamically alternate in height to relieve at-risk tissue against pressure ulcer
formation. The aim is to preserve the circulatory components of arterial, venous and lymphatic blood flow
in between these areas of contact.
Skin Shear
By shortening the distance between areas in contact, skin stretch during alternating support and immersion
is reduced, thereby decreasing the risk of skin shear.
Pressure
The DabirAIR Micropressure Overlays achieve alternating support and relief utilizing
independent rows of small comfort nodes that are intended to promote interstitial blood flow between
areas of contact.
Temperature & Moisture
DabirAIR Microclimate Overlays provide Low-Air-Loss continuous airflow to remove excess heat and
moisture from the patient’s skin in areas of support.
