Introduction
INDICATIONS FOR USE
Note:
The selection of a pressure-relieving surface needs to be based on each individual patient’s clinical condition,
diagnosis and/or co-morbidities. The choice and use of a support surface is one factor in a holistic program of wound
care and treatment.
Pressure Relief
• Pressure Relief
• Rehabilitation
• Dermatology
• Neueology
• Burns
• Amputations
Pain Management
• AIDS
• Arthritis
• Oncology
The Stryker AIr I and II mattress system provides uniform 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 Arise as an adjunct to pain
management interventions.
Note:
Pressure relief and pain management are conditions and diagnoses for which the Stryker AIr I and II mattress
system may be indicated. Occasionally, there are orthopedic and neurological patients that require body positioning to be
maintained in specific alignment. The Stryker AIr I and II mattress system has safety features to prevent deflation of the
therapy cells and to keep patients from bottoming out at all times. The use of the Stryker AIr I and II mattress system for
these patients should be considered on an individual basis and discussed with the attending physician.
THERAPY PADS
Many healthcare facilities are facing the challenge of infection control. This products quilted therapy pads are treated
with an antimicrobial to protect the therapy pad 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.
