How Does the Mattress Work?
This mattress boasts the unique ability to change between a static foam mattress and a balanced-air, self-adjusting air mattress – all without having to remove the patient from bed. The air cells are filled with foam, allowing them to change their pressure when needed to combine the properties of foam and air pressure distribution. The air cells are contained within a dense foam perimeter, creating stability and making side transfers as smooth as possible.
Does It Need a Pump to Function?
This mattress includes air tube housing, allowing the mattress to be used as a high specification foam mattress without a pump to provide pressure relief for high risk patients. When combined with the Alerta Sensaflo Pump (sold separately), this mattress boasts balanced-air, self-adjusting capabilities, boosting it to a very high risk pressure relief level.
Integral Evacuation System
Every care facility needs to be able to safely evacuate all vulnerable patients in the event of an emergency, which often involves a difficult transfer from their pressure relief mattress to an evacuation mattress. To greatly enhance patient safety, the Alerta Sensaflo Hybrid features a built-in Alerta Evacuation System, complete with handles and straps to allow immediate evacuation. This means that carers can safely evacuate their patient without the need for a transfer beforehand.
Heel Pressure Relief
The heels are one of the most vulnerable areas of the body to pressure sores, so special measures must be taken to protect them. This mattress includes an adaptable heel zone with individually-removable gel heel pads, allowing carers to reduce the level of pressure on their patient's heels as needed.
Is It Supplied with a Cover?
To protect the mattress in cases of spills of incontinence, it is provided with a multi-stretch, water-resistant cover. This cover is made with vapour-permeable PU, allowing air flow between the mattress and patient while providing both comfort and protection.
Is This Product Tested for Fire Safety?
Yes, all components of Alerta's pressure relief products are tested to comply with Crib 5 fire safety regulations. This means that all foam, air cells and covers for Alerta mattresses and cushions are tested to the most stringent fire safety guidelines, ensuring you stay fully compliant and up to date with regulations.
