Hospital bed mattress overlay IMPULSE

dynamic airtubeanti-decubitus

The IMPULSE pressure redistribution overlay system is used as an aid in the prevention and treatment of pressure ulcers up to category 4 (EPUAP/NPUAP). The pump can operate in alternating or static mode. The complete system includes: pump, mattress overlay and top cover. The mattress overlay is made of transverse interchangeable cells. The system is suitable for a wide range of care settings in hospital, community and home care. ALTERNATING – periodically redistributes pressure away by inflating and deflating every 2nd cell beneath the patient’s body in chosen time period (10, 15 or 20 minutes). Static head section ensures additional comfort. STATIC – cell pressure is held constant across the surface and body mass is redistributed over a greater surface. It defaults automatically to alternating mode after 30 minutes. Cells in head section are always inflated for better comfort. The CPR strap for quick release. Single-handed facility located at the head end of the mattress and disconnect the air tubeset connectors from the pump. It enables rapid air deflation for emergencies, handling or storage etc. In conventional micro air loss systems the air is coming through the micro holes made in cells, but patient’s body blocks the holes and reduces the effectiveness. The iMAL system is located beneath the mattress cells and is not interfered with patient’s body. Independent micro air loss system reduces heat accumulated in the mattress, which increases patient comfort and ensures proper microclimate around his body. The iMAL system is independent from mattress cells and therefore it does not interfere with transport functions.
