Introduction
The P.R.O. Matt
®
Plus, provided by Joerns Healthcare,
is a convertible, dynamic pressure reducing mattress
replacement system. Pressure redistribution and
alternating pressure therapy have been demonstrated
to reduce the risk of pressure injuries and as being a
valuable aid in the treatment of pressure injuries.
Warning: The risk of entrapment can arise when
equipment is placed on bed frames that leave gaps of
even a few inches between the mattress and the head
panel, foot panel, and bed or side rails. The equipment
is NOT to be used when such gaps are present. See
“Important Precautions” section of this manual.
Pressure Redistribution Optimization (P.R.O.)
Technology is a unique, patent pending, air control
technology. The P.R.O. Technology system requires no
adjustments or manual ination devices and features
a four-zone inner air core that automatically adjusts
to meet the needs of each patient based on body
prole and weight. The head zone remains static and
is comprised of high density foam for maximum patient
comfort while the shoulder, torso, and foot zones
are optimized independently to maximize pressure
redistribution.
We have ensured that the P.R.O. Matt Plus addresses
key areas in the treatment of compromised skin,
including pressure redistribution and reduction in both
friction and shearing forces.
Pressure Redistribution
P.R.O. Matt Plus is a convertible dynamic pressure
redistribution mattress system that has three modes
of operation: non-powered, alternating pressure, and
powered (static therapy). The alternating and powered
(static therapy) modes require the use of an optional
control unit. The non-powered mode requires only that
a control unit not be attached and that any external
hoses are disconnected from the mattress. In the
non-powered mode, P.R.O. Matt Plus functions as a
dynamic pressure redistribution mattress.
The alternating mode provides active pressure
redistribution by alternating pressure between adjacent
therapy cells.
Maximum pressure redistribution is achieved through
the delivery of a specic amount of air to each therapy
cell, which distributes the patient’s weight evenly over
a wide surface area providing a favorable interface
pressure prole.
