Patient Considerations for this Mattress:
Pressure Distribution
Best choice for individuals at risk for pressure sore development when Gel-in, viscoelastic, or air-filled inserts are used in high risk areas
Firmness
Top Comfort layer of medium rm viscoelastic foam provided in non-high-risk areas
Temperature
Best choice for prevention of heat build-up and sweating when used with Gel-in viscoelastic foam inserts or air inserts in high-risk areas
Transfers
When user is expected to complete assisted or independent transfers, EMP recommends using a mattress with full height (6") transfer borders.
Bed Mobility
Varies depending on inserts selected. Viscoelastic top layer may impair bed mobility for some individuals
