Incontinence Protection
Protect the sleep surface mattress from incontinence as follows:
1. Cover patient surfaces with a fitted, knit, bottom sheet.
2. Loosely place a woven draw sheet centered under the pelvis extending
from about the knees to the neck.
3. Center only one Hill-Rom-approved absorbent reusable or disposable
incontinence pad in the buttocks region where you would expect excreta to
drain. The pad should extend from the iliac crest to slightly above the
knees.
NOTE:
Use Hill-Rom-approved absorbent materials, such as a reusable or
disposable incontinence pad, size 34" x 36" (86 cm x 91 cm), or equivalent
(e.g., Geri Care Super Ibex reusable or Professional Medical Kenguard®
1
disposable incontinence pad).
Linen Care
Knitted and fitted sheets are suggested for use with the sleep surface mattress.
Knitted sheets allow stretching of the fabric material for installation, and fitted
sheets with proper sizing are important to ensure good retention.
Best retention occurs when the fitted sheet extends 2" (5 cm) or more under the
corners of the sleep surface encasement cover. Magnets inside of the ticking
material and on the underside of the sleep surface assist in the retention of
additional sheets and blankets. Better retention can be achieved if the number
of layers folded under the magnets is minimized.
