The addition of an active cushion to the Air2Care system gives 24 hour prevention and management of pressure ulcers which is simple to use and reliable. The top cover is a high quality 2 way stretch vapour permeable Dartex material. This material allows the skin to breathe and removes vapour from the skin surface, thus preventing skin maceration. Air2Care offers the versatility of a choice of mattress types – overlay, air + foam mattress replacement, air + air mattresss replacement and seat cushion. This versatility allows the carer to make the best choice for the patient's requirements. The System Control Units are simple and intuitive to use, the Air2Care 10 is a simple analogue unit whereas the Air2Care 20 is a digital microprocessor cotrolled unit with the added functionality of Constant Low Pressure. Both SCUs have easy to use bed hooks, an ergonomically designed 'scoop' handle and anti-vibration pads to eliminate any noise. The mattress remains inflated if put into transport mode for up to 12 hours, allowing the SCU to go with the patient to the chair. The mattress remains inflated and ready for the patient to return and re-attach the SCU.
