How Does the Drive Air-On-Foam Mattress Help Prevent Pressure Sores?

When people with poor mobility lie down for too long, pressure sores can start to develop. In order to prevent this, the Drive Air-On-Air Mattress uses air cells that alternate on a cycle to shift the patients position to prevent pressure build-up. The cell cycle is automated by a pump that inflates and deflates the cells on a routine basis.

Can I Perform CPR On This Mattress?

In the event of an emergency, the Drive Air-On-Foam mattress features two CPR pull tags at the foot end of the bed. When pulled, the mattress will rapidly deflate to allow carers to perform CPR or transport the patient should they stop breathing or go into cardiac arrest.

Does the Drive Air-On-Foam Mattress Have a Cover?

Yes, the Drive Air-On-Foam Mattress features a multi-stretch cover. Waterproof and vapour permeable, this cover helps keep the mattress clean and is especially useful for incontinent patients. An anti-fungal agent is integrated into the fabric to help control microbial development.

How Do I Disinfect the Cover?

The mattress cover has a 360° zip for easy removal when cleaning. Once removed, wipe the cover using cold water and a 0.1% chlorine solution.

Why Choose the Theia and Eros Pump Range?

The Theia and Eros Pump range offers greater choice and flexibility when caring for patients who are at a higher risk of developing pressure sores. Each pump is compatible with multiple different pressure relief systems, ensuring versatile care that’s streamlined through the same operation system.

Why is Standardisation Important?

When using equipment made by different manufacturers, costly or potentially harmful errors are more likely to occur. By utilising an interchangeable pump system that works with a variety of mattresses, the Theia and Eros Pump range helps standardise training and competency programs so that less mistakes are made.
