GENERAL
INFORMATION
The Air-Tech Integrated Hybrid System is a pressure relieving mattress suitable for patients
at VERY HIGH RISK of obtaining pressure ulcer. Offering high levels of patient comfort, this
unique system has the facility to “step up” to the level of a dynamic mattress when clinically
required. Similarly, the mattress’s function can be downgraded as the patient’s condition
improves. These features make it particularly beneficial for use within the patient’s home or
palliative care environment and help reduce logistic and decontamination costs.
The clinical benefits of a single system are equally applicable to those of a modern
hospital setting. A higher maximum weight capacity, up to 39 stone (250kg), allows the
product to meet the modern challenges of those heavier clients. All component parts are
interchangeable and replaceable, maximising product life and reducing environmental impact.
The mattress consists of a foam head section and a series of 7 pairs of transverse air cells,
each containing a unique foam profiled insert, which are in turn held within a foam U Core,
all protected by a vapour permeable waterproof cover. The transverse cells are arranged into
alternate pairs of A and B cells which are filled and emptied in sequence.
When used without a pump, the foam mattress maintains its pressure relieving properties.
When the pump is connected and is in alternating mode the mattress is able to offer similar
properties to a pressure relieving active (dynamic) system. The pump monitors the air
pressure within the mattress and in the event of mains supply failure or over or under inflation
the audible/visual warning system will indicate. A CPR Valve located at the pump end of the
umbilical hose permits the rapid deflation of the mattress in an emergency.
