5.1 Mattress Structure
The OptiCare mattress consists of 4 sections that are held together by 6 quick release xation toggles. The 3 sections include co-
ver, comfort layer, air cell set and foam base which supports the leg section and side formers. Within the central cut-out of the foam
base is a 10 mm high density foam sheet to protect the patient if the mattress is deated. Air cell set is divided into Area A and Area
B. A two-part cover (1) made of water proof vapour permeable material encloses the mattress. Beneath the cover and on the top of
the upper air layer is a removable polyester comfort layer (2). The 2 air layers consist of 10 separate air modules for easy and cost
e󰀨ective replacement in case of user damage. 7 of these air modules are connected together to form the Constant Low Pressure
air mattress, while the other 3 act as air manifolds for the Micro-Climate Management (MCM) function. The mattress has a 7 degree
heel slope to help further o󰀨-loading of pressure in the vulnerable heel area.
5.2 Cover
The top part of the cover consists of highly moisture- and vapour-permeable (MVP) two-way stretch material which forms an
integral part of the Micro-Climate Management (MCM) function. The cover top is equipped with a full 360-degree zip to allow easy
removal for cleaning or replacement. The zip is covered by a waterproof ap to protect the mattress against uid ingress.
The cover base is made from water-impermeable high-strength non-stretch material that is suitable for any demanding environ-
ment. Additional quick-release straps prevent the mattress from shifting if the head board or foot board is removed.
5.3 Bottom Deck
The bottom air layer is enclosed by a foam base fully contained within a removable waterproof cover. This provides support for the
patient when entering or exiting the bed. The angled sides of the foam base are designed to t securely into the shaped sides of the
Eleganza 5 patient platform or Multicare patient platform to prevent any movement of the mattress when the patient is getting into
or out of the bed.
5.4 Heel section
The heel section is made up of 2 foam in air cells each with a custom designed internal foam shape that allows the 2 cells to collap-
se back into a reduced shape when pressed in by the foot board of the bedframe. This reduces the length of the mattress by 190
mm when compressed. The heel cells will self inate when the bed is lengthened.
5.5 Safety Straps
The sides of the foam base fit the sides of the Eleganza 5 mattress support platform or Multicare mattress support platform to pre-
vent the mattress from shifting when the patient is getting into or out of bed.
The mattress is equipped with additional quick-release straps to prevent the mattress from shifting if the head or foot board is remo-
ved. These straps are located on head end and foot end of the bed.
To x the strap:
► Loop black strap around metal bed frame and feed it back through the plastic clip.
To release the strap:
► Pull loose end of strap upward to release clip.
