Joerns® Support Surface
FlapCair Model
© 2013 Joerns Healthcare • 6110066 RevD • 13-2631
The FlapCair provides distribution of weight over a
wide surface area, which relieves pressure against
bony prominences and provides a soft, gentle therapy
surface to lie on. For patients experiencing severe
pain and discomfort due to pressure and/or positioning
limitations, consider the FlapCair as an adjunct to pain
management interventions.
Note:
Pressure relief and pain management are
conditions and diagnoses for which the FlapCair may
be indicated. Occasionally, there are orthopedic and
neurological patients that require body positioning to
be maintained in specific alignment. The use of the
FlapCair for these patients should be considered on
an individual basis and discussed with the attending
physician.
Features
The FlapCair is comprised of two components:
•
Therapy control unit
•
Therapy mattress system
Therapy Control Unit Features
•
True low air loss
•
Three modes of operation –
Autofirm
,
Pulsate
and
Therapy
• Autofirm
mode provides maximum air
inflation designed to assist both patients
and caregivers during patient transfer and
treatment.
• Pulsate
mode oscillates the air throughout the
mattress every 30 seconds provides increased
patient comfort.
• Therapy
mode provides eight comfort control
settings to maximize patient compliance and
promote healing.
•
Patient position sensor optimizes support for seated
occupants (Fowler boost)
•
Closed loop pressure sensor control system
eliminates concerns of changes in mattress interface
pressure due to ambient temperature and pressure
changes.
•
Quick disconnect hose feature allows for rapid
attach and CPR deflate at the control unit.
•
Compact lightweight control unit is quiet, robust and
powerful, with a reusable air filter and integrated
carrying handle for portability.
•
Crisp, easy to read graphics for intuitive set up and
therapy control.
•
Automatic panel lock out to avoid unwanted or
accidental adjustments.
•
Specially designed enclosure for low noise
and durability.
• Integrated swing out hanging brackets for fixing to
most bed types.

Therapy Mattress System Features
•
160 individual therapy cells help to evenly distribute
the patient’s weight and maximize pressure relief.
Modular cell design mattress for ease of cleaning,
re-assembly and cost effective service.
•
Six-inch deep therapy cells are constructed of highly
durable, polyurethane film to provide adequate
support and prevent bottoming out for most patients
within weight limit.
•
Customizable pressure relief- caregiver can close
off individual cells to reduce the pressure on specific
areas of the patient’s body that are a concern
(wounds or surgical sites) thereby “floating” the
wound or surgical site.
•
Lower two-inch therapy support cell provides
additional therapeutic support and remains inflated
for up to 12 hours in the event of a power failure.
•
Integrated low-pressure heel section provides lower
interface pressures for high-risk patients.
•
Lower mattress therapy enclosure is constructed
from 100% heavy weight 1680 Denier nylon with
1.5 oz Urethane coating and incorporates bed
attachment loops for stability.
•
Maximum weight capacity of 350 lbs.
•
Anti-kink, easy clean air supply hose set.
Therapy Pads
Many healthcare facilities are facing the challenge of
infection control. Joerns’s quilted therapy covers are
treated with an antimicrobial to protect the therapy pad
itself from the growth of mold, mildew and bacteria.
Key features and benefits:
•
Treated with a highly effective bacteriostat agent
to inhibit the growth of bacterial and fungus.
•
Constructed from a very smooth nylon fabric with
low friction and low shear properties to protect
the patient’s skin from damaging friction/shearing
forces.
•
Breathable, moisture vapor permeable fabric
allows air to circulate beneath the pad and wicks
away excess moisture. This keeps your patient dry
and helps to prevent skin maceration.
•
Two-way stretch therapy pad is designed for
optimal comfort, moisture vapor transfer, stain
resistance and ease of laundering.
