Features
Clinical Benefits for Skin Protection
Immersion
Contoured shape of breathable gel-in foam provides maximum surface contact for the posterior lower extremity.
Off-loading
High-risk heels and ankles can be safely off-loaded with pressure redistributed along the calf area. All contact surfaces are contoured to promote even weight bearing and gel-in foam edges reduce the development of pressure points.
Friction & Shear Reduction
Highly immersive gel-in foam top layer reduces any contact with firm surfaces/edges as clients move while sleeping. Cooling properties of the gel-in foam and breathable cover fabric reduce temperature and humidity buildup to decrease the risk of skin “sticking” to the cover causing friction and skin tears
Additional Clinical Benefits
Positioning
Side bolsters maintain the position of the legs on the surface. Gel-in foam promotes maximum immersion and protection should lower legs move during sleep and make contact with the cushion.
Comfort
Gel-in foam reduces heat and humidity leading to discomfort. Immersion allows full contact and reduces pressure points along the lower extremities. Cushion is not attached to the body and therefore allows for movement of legs while sleeping enhancing client comfort.
Breathable Stretch Cover
The cover is designed with pressure distribution characteristics (stretch and breathability) to ensure optimal performance of the gel-in foam. The cover incorporates ultrasonic welded seam technology to meet infection & pest control standards. The GripEx bottom fabric reduces movement and sliding against the mattress surface to maintain position. The zipper placed on the bottom of the cover reduces any potential contact with skin.
Durability
High-density base layer to maintain shape, provide structure and keep the Elevate in place. High-density foam has a longer useful life and will ensure Elevate stays in place.
CertiPUR-US® & BioFlx®
The Certi-Pur® seal means the Elevate has been tested to meet rigorous standards for emissions, content, performance and durability. The foam is made without ozone depleters and other harmful chemicals. Our BioFlx® foam has the same high comfort and performance with a smaller environmental footprint by replacing fossil fuel ingredients with natural seed-based oils such as soybeans – which lessens greenhouse gas emissions.
Easy-to-clean
Cover designed to be cleaned with hospital grade disinfectant wipes to promote ease-of-cleaning and infection control. Cover fluid-resistant, non-allergenic, antibacterial and tested ton ensure a long life in all care environments.
