Why Choose a Bariatric Low Profiling Bed?
Many bariatric patients requiring the use of profiling hospital beds are at risk of falls from bed, so everything must be done in order to prevent injury. The low height of this bed is ideal for patients at risk of bed falls, minimising their chance of injury if a fall does occur.
Height Adjustable Design with Movable Side Rails
With the touch of a button on the included 10 function handset, this bed can be adjusted in height to provide a safe working height for carers, as well as an ideal low height for patient transfers and fall safety. The height can be adjusted from 20cm to 80cm off the ground, providing a height range that will suit most needs. This bed is also supplied with wooden side rails to protect the patient from falls. These side rails can be lowered, allowing for easy side transfers of the patient.
How Does Memory Foam Assist with Pressure Relief?
Memory foam is one of the best materials possible for pressure relief, making it a perfect material for patients at high risk of pressure sores. The unique benefit comes from the way that memory foam moulds to your body, ensuring that all areas of the skin are supported and in contact with the foam. This means that 'hot spots' are reduced – meaning there are fewer areas of the body experiencing a higher amount of pressure than others, and thus fewer areas that are at a high risk of pressure sores.
What is the Benefit of Castellated Foam?
The memory foam in this pressure care mattress is castellated, which serves a number of both functional and comfort purposes. It assists with profiling by allowing the mattress to move in independent sections, ensuring the surface bearing the patient's weight does not slip under the patient or move. The castellation improves pressure relief by allowing small sections of the memory foam mattress to move with the patient to reduce friction forces, helping the mattress provide comprehensive pressure ulcer relief.
Machine Washable Cover For Easy Sanitation
To improve durability and quality of care, this mattress is fitted with a multi-stretch and waterproof cover. This vapour permeable PU cover is antimicrobial, to reduce bacteria and odour, and fully machine-washable 65°C for no less than 10 minutes, so that you can keep your patient's environment sanitary at all times. To make it as easy as possible to identify fluid ingress, the mattress cover is designed with a white underside.
Will This Bed Stabilise the Mattress?
Yes, unlike most other profiling beds, the Alerta Lomond Bariatric includes four mattress grips. These grips can be seen at the corners of the mattress platform, and will keep the mattress stable during profiling to ensure slipping or displacement is prevented.
