1. Outer Removable Coverlet:
The blue-colored coverlet is fluid resistant, cleanable and flame resistant. It
can be replaced if damaged or worn. Its smooth outer fabric is highly vapor
permeable and its crush-resistant Air Diffusion Matrix fabric provides a
pathway for efficient movement of moisture vapor away from the patient.
Coverlet can be routinely wiped clean and disinfected in place, or can be
removed and machine laundered according to directions in this manual.
2. Inner Air Delivery Cover:
The gray, multi-layered inner cover serves as a barrier, protecting the inside
of the mattress from both fluids and vapors, while supplying air to the
microenvironment between the cover and coverlet. Unlike the blue
removable coverlet, it is intended to remain on the mattress at all times. It
can be cleaned and disinfected in place using standard hospital, medical
grade products. The air delivery cover consists of two layers of urethane
fabric with a welded pattern. Sandwiched between these layers is a layer of
crush-resistant Air Diffusion Matrix fabric. A series of air holes designed to
deliver air flow to the top of the mattress to flow underneath the patient in
the removal of moisture from the patient’s skin.
3. Air Cylinders:
The inflation system consists of air cylinders that run lengthwise underneath
the body. Unlike typical roll-up systems, the cylinder inflation system does
not lose air from the inflation system for "low air loss", and can be
programmed to perform either Flotation or Alternating Pressure. The cycles
and inflation levels are designed to provide and maintain low interface
pressures throughout the mattress, and to redistribute peak interface
pressures during both therapy modes.
4. Foam Shell:
The segmented Geo-Matt
®
style foam topper is cut from a high density,
medical grade foam. The unique geometric design consists of over 800
individual cells, each of which acts individually to customize patient comfort,
support, and pressure reduction and redistribution. This foam topper
includes the unique Heel Slope™ feature, designed to further reduce
pressure for the sensitive heel area. The proprietary Safety Edge™ consists
of contoured foam bolsters on the perimeter of the mattress for added
patient stability and positioning.
5. Control Unit:
The quiet, energy efficient control unit houses two separate air compressors:
a high-volume compressor provides air for the microclimate management
function through the cover/coverlet, while a low-volume compressor
provides air to the air cylinder inflation system.
