Cover
The bacteriostatic top fabric is fire resistant, fluidproof, tear resistant,
cleanable, and replaceable. The pleated design allows full integration with the
mattress’s Geo-Matt style shear-relieving surface while minimizing hammocking.
Inner Fire Barrier Sleeve
This feature meets requirements of NFPA 101 (“Life Safety Code”), Cal TB 603
and 129, and BFD IX-11. Comes as standard feature on APM2 Safety Supreme.
Foam Topper
The patented Geo-Matt® style foam topper is a high density, medical grade foam.
The unique geometric design redistributes pressure, reduces heat and moisture
buildup on the skin, and reduces shear to underlying tissues.
Safety Edge™ Bolsters
Unique raised perimeter Wings® design combines with the
patented Safety Edge™ bolster system to encourage the patient toward the mattress
and away from entrapment or falls. Lowered, padded opening makes transfers easier
and safer for user and caregiver. The Safety Edge consists of a firm 2-part foam
bolster whose inner edge contours under pressure to direct the patient towards
the center of the mattress.
Air Cylinders
The inflation system consists of four urethane air cylinders that
run head to foot underneath the body and the foam topper. These cylinders perform
the Alternating Pressure Therapy, and the Lateral Rotation Therapy. Cylinders
inflate and deflate in a fixed 10-minute cycle.
Toggle Switch
The toggle switch changes modalities from “Alternating Pressure”
to “Lateral Rotation.” The switch is located under a velcroed fabric flap on the
side of the mattress at the foot end, as illustrated.
Control Unit
Model 5800 – Comfort Dial on the Control Unit changes pressures inside the cylinders
within a small but perceptible range. This gives the patient some control over
firmness, without compromising pressure redistribution or causing bottoming out.
Static button evenly inflates all air cylinders for stability during care or transfers.
Low pressure indicator assists in function and maintenance.
