Intended Use
The Steiss™ Universal Therapy System (UTS) is an alternating air replacement system designed to prevent
and treat pressure ulcers. The Steiss™ Universal Therapy System (UTS) works on the principle of actively
encouraging tissue blood ow by gently increasing and decreasing pressure within the support surface over
a 10-minute cycle. This results in the reduction of surface pressures helping to prevent tissue breakdown and
encourage healing.
For added durability, and longer working life, the Steiss™ Universal Therapy System (UTS) has been
constructed using high strength components and premium grade materials. The mattress features a heavy-duty
base layer and a 100% waterproof, multi-stretch vapor permeable PU cover to reduce risks of friction and shear.
