Intended Use Statement
NPT4 will provide pressure redistribution for individuals at risk for pressure injury development. The polycarbonate
top cover is designed to reduce shear as the patient is repositioned or transferred with the Mattress Asset
Protection (MAP™) Liner. The copper infused memory foam topper will enhance micro-climate control and patient
comfort. Those patients at higher risk for pressure injury development may be managed by using the control unit
that converts the mattress to an active alternating surface with added head to heal micro-climate control. The
patient support surface is designed to fit any standard hospital medical bed.
