Nimbus 3 Mattress The
Nimbus 3
mattress comprises the following
components:
Detachable Cover
The standard protective cover comprises a 2-way stretch
cover zipped to a durable anti-slip base. The zips are
protected by flaps to prevent ingress of contaminants,
and allow easy removal of the cover for cleaning.
Alternative covers with advanced properties, such as
Advantex
®
and eVENT
®
, are also available (Refer to
“Cover Options and Features” on page 32).
Cells
The
Nimbus 3
mattress comprises 20 polyurethane (PU)
cells providing support to the user in either Alternating
or Static modes. The cells are grouped in four sections,
each of which has a specific function:
• The three Head cells remain at a constant pressure
for pillow stability and patient comfort.
• The eight Torso cells combine alternating and static
pressure characteristics to support patients fully in
both lying and sitting positions without the risk of
‘bottoming’.
• The four Thigh cells cycle dynamically to maximise
pressure relief.
• The five
Heelguard
®
cells are specially powered to
maximise the pressure relief under the heels.
