CONSTRUCTION AND DESIGN FEATURES
Illustration Descriptions
1.
LifeSpan
™ stretch cover
with
Shear Transfer Zones ™
Standard cover features a bi-directional stretch fabric designed to allow full integration of
the user into the surface. Top is made from proprietary LifeSpan ™ polycarbonate-fortified
healthcare fabric, which provides unsurpassed resistance to the damaging effects of
diluted bleach and other aggressive cleaners and disinfectants. It wipes clean easily with
standard, hospital-grade cleaners. It has an ultra-low moisture vapor transmission rate
(MVTR) and is fully radiolucent.
Patented “Shear Transfer Zones” incorporated beneath top fabric creates shear-minimizing
bands beneath heels, sacrum and scapula. Zones help prevent these bony prominences
from digging into the surface, while protecting against the damaging effects of micro shear,
macro shear, and rotational (pivot-induced) shear. Design also helps “glide” the user back
to their original position following HOB elevation. Exclusive split bottom design helps
reduce sliding of mattress while also reducing the “gatching noise” typical of non-slip
fabrics.
2. Foam shell with Geo-Matt
topper
The clinically proven Geo-Matt
®
segmented design incorporated into the top surface of the
mattress is a high-density, medical grade foam. The unique geometric design consists of
over 800 individual cells, each of which acts individually to redistribute pressure, to reduce
heat and moisture buildup on the skin, and to reduce shear to underlying tissues. This
foam topper is approximately 2" in height and tapered at the foot end of the mattress.
The unique Heel Slope
®
feature helps further reduce interface pressures on vulnerable
heels.
3. Safety Edge™ bolster
system
The supportive Safety Edge™ consists of engineered inner and outer foam bolsters for
added patient stability in sitting and lying down.
4. Star Chamber™ air cylinder
system
The heart of the system consists of four “Star Chamber™” (patent pending) air cylinders
and two pairs of elasticized reservoirs arranged longitudinally (head-to-foot) and
constructed from RF- (radio-frequency) welded urethane. The system is designed to
provide and maintain low interface pressures throughout the mattress in the non-powered
mode. In the powered mode, it provides active therapy in the alternating pressure or
lateral rotation modes via inflation and deflation in a fixed 15-minute cycle. In lateral
rotation, the user typically achieves a rotation arc of approximately 40°—roughly 20° in
each direction. The system is pre-inflated at the factory to the ideal pressure setting for the
elevation to which it is being shipped. Once set, it requires no adjustment or maintenance
for the five-year duration of its warranty. If desired, powered control unit can be used to
reset system at any time.
