Harvest Prime Comfort Plus Pressure Relief Replacement Mattress
For patients with low levels of mobility who spend long stretches of time lying down, the use of a proper pressure-relieving mattress is crucial to preventing the development of pressure sores. The Harvest Prime Comfort Plus Pressure Relief Replacement Foam Mattress provides excellent pressure distribution for patients at high risk of pressure sore development, and features reinforced side walls to aid with stability during patient transfers.
What's Included?
- 1 x Foam pressure relief mattress
- 1 x Two-way stretch cover
How Does the Prime Comfort Mattress Prevent Pressure Sores?
Built with two layers of high-quality foam, this mattress is designed to spread the patient's weight out evenly across the surface to minimise 'hot spots', or zones of the skin that may incur an especially high amount of pressure. This makes the Prime Comfort Plus Mattress exceptionally comfortable for the patient, while reducing the risk of pressure sores for those up to a high risk of developing them.
Reinforced Side Walls for Stability
The inner foam of this mattress is supported by a high density base and U-shaped side wall construction, enhancing stability during profiling and movement. As the side walls provide a more rigid frame to the mattress, they help to provide a stable surface for the patient during transfers.
How Does Castellation Enhance Pressure Relief?
The foam of this mattress is cut into castellated portions, providing a number of benefits. A castellated foam top allows excess heat to escape from underneath, helping to avoid patient overheating while minimising friction forces on the skin. The castellated top layer also allows the mattress to conform the body shape of the user, creating a specifically tailored experience for each patient.
Designed for Easy Profiling
While the base of this mattress is designed with a higher density foam, small openings around the base provide some flexibility for profiling. The keyhole slots in the high density base allow this mattress to be used with profiling beds, allowing the patient to be moved into a number of advantageous positions without compromising pressure relief.
Is the Mattress Supplied with a Cover?
To protect the mattress, it is supplied as standard with a two-way stretch, vapour-permeable PU cover that is waterproof to guard against spills and fluids. Welded seams ensure the cover is durable, while the breathability keeps the patient cool and free from moisture.
This fully sealed cover ensures the mattress meets specialist requirements and is suitable for use in mental health units. The high frequency welded seams also help to reduce the possibility of fluid ingress, thereby improving infection control protocols.
