Pressure ulcers, also known as decubitus sores or bed sores, are localized injury to the skin and/or underlying tissue usually over a bony prominence, as a result of pressure, or pressure in combination with friction or shear.
Risk factors
- Pressure Ulcers develop primarily in elderly patients.
- The likelihood of developing ulcer is directly proportional to the duration of hospitalization in intensive / critical care unit.
- Lack of pain perception, natural thinness and weight loss leading to aging skin, malnutrition, urinary or fecal incontinence are a few other major risk factors.
Stages of Pressure Ulcer
- Alternating Pressure Redistribution System: Alternates inflation and deflation of cells to constantly change pressure points and promote circulation. A single cell slowly deflates, re-inflates, and then the adjacent cell does the same, slowly, up and down the mattress.
Our high performance
HOVER® SYSTEM CONTROLLER
Features
Fully digital SCU with IOT*
Fully automatic / manual override
The controller sets the optimum pressure based on patients weight and posture. It has manual overrides for cycle time and pressure.
High Flow silent pump
A high capacity ~ 17 LPM pump ensures faster initial inflation. High flow pump provides more effective pressure offloading and low air loss
Our high durability
HOVER® MAT Mattress
Features
Alternating Replaceable Cells
Retainer Air Cell / Cell on Cell
Each cell has patented retainer walls to provide additional stiffness. Cell on Cell avoids bottoming out in case of power failure or leakage.
Low Air Loss Technology
Slowly venting out the air from the mattress allows maintaining a dry micro climate below the patient, enabling faster healing.
