Conform Bed Overlay Mattress

CONFORM® Bed Overlay Mattress

Limitation of free movement poses a greater danger of pressure sores, i.e. the development of Decubitus Ulcers, to all long term, permanently bed-ridden, patients.

CONFORM® overlay mattress are supplementary mattresses which, due to their pressure relieving air chamber system, limit – and, in many cases - avoid the danger of the development of Decubitus Ulcers. Furthermore, they can be of great help in the treatment of already existing diseases.

• Interlinking air chamber system imitates the positive characteristics of water and thus adjusts to the natural body contours of the person seated.
• Flexible cells reduce pressure build up and preventing shearing forces.
• Air cells create constantly low pressure, guaranteeing blood flow through the capillaries avoiding tissue damage, whilst at the same time accelerating the healing process of existing pressure sores.
• Adjustable air pressure to suit individual need.

How does the CONFORM® Overlay Mattress work?

The mattress overlay is to be placed onto the mattress of the bed. Complete CONFORM® overlay mattresses are made up of individual mattress segments, which are fixed together with a connection strip, to create an uninterrupted surface.

The air filling can be adjusted for each individual segment in order to adapt exactly to the patients weight and body shape. The air cells, which are interlinked by a channel system, create a communicating system, spreading pressure evenly.

The evenness of pressure thus avoids the so-called pressure point which might develop on particularly prominent points (trochanter, elbow, etc.) and assists circulation and nourishment of the skin in these areas.

• Excellent pressure relief even if over-inflated.
• Unique ‘star’ shape of each cell maximizes pressure distribution.
• Cells are constructed by vulcanising process (not by gluing) offering a much more reliable product for the user.

Benefits of Natural Rubber:

•  Convenient microclimate. Unlike synthetics, natural rubber:
  - Doesn't go too supple in warmer climates
  - Doesn't go hard in colder climates
• Maintains optimal distribution of pressure
• Minimal shear forces
• Allergy-free 
• Extreme flexiblity.
• Maintains natural pressure propensities
