Pressure Reduction Mattress

Product Brochure

The Softform Premier Active 2 retains properties as a high-risk Reactive support surface. However, should clinical judgement determine that the patient requires stepping up to an Active support surface, then a discrete pump can be fitted to the air insert transforming the mattress into a dynamic surface and delivering additional levels of pressure relief.

• Air Insert contained within standard Softform Premier mattress foam construction: Using the pump allows stepping up and down between Reactive and Active alternating systems with minimum patient disruption. The air cells alternate on a 10-minute cycle, promoting tissue recovery and pressure distribution.
• Air system placed beneath foam insert: Greatly reduces risk of sharps puncture.
• High risk static mattress, delivering exceptional pressure reduction and patient comfort:
• In the event of a power failure, the patient is still resting on a high risk pressure reducing surface, minimizing the potential of pressure damage occurring until power is restored.
• Mattress does not require turning. Reduces manual handling issues.
• Two- way stretch PU waterproof cover Provides excellent recovery and durability, and helps reduce shear and friction forces.
• High frequency welded seams and full length flap conceals the zip: Reduces the risk of fluid ingress.
• Toughened PU coated base: Prolongs the longevity of the mattress.
• Single piece of foam “U” core: Facilitates patient transfer by providing side wall support.
• Water penetration resistance: 35 kPa minimum (BS 3424: part 26). 35 kPa minimum after 20,000 cycles Martindale Abrasion Test EN ISO 5470-2
