Protekt 500 Pressure Relieving Foam Mattress

The Protekt 500 Pressure Relieving Foam Mattress with (VGPT) ^TM Visco Gel Polymer Technology offers a revolutionary support surface that provides unprecedented pressure redistribution, rapid heat dissipation, and vast increases in breathability compared to traditional foam. The sloped heel redistributes pressure from the heel to the entire leg, and precision cut air pockets in the mattress allow deeper submersion and increased air circulation.

VGPT ^TM is open-cell Visco memory foam infused with gel polymers. Designed for clinical superiority as well as patient comfort, some of the many benefits of VGPT ^TM include:

• Reduced occurrence of pressure sores by channeling heat away from the body significantly faster than traditional foam, virtually eliminating perspiration
  
• Superior pressure redistribution delivered by providing more support and less cradling at higher levels of compression, redistributing pressure over a large surface area and eliminating static fatigue
  
• Protects vulnerable heel area with the patented Lure-Quilt^TM foam and a 30-degree slope, redistributing pressure to the entire leg and away from the heel
  
• Includes a 15 Year Non-Prorated Warranty
  

(VGPT)^TM Visco Gel Polymer Technology works by allowing air to pass through open cells, channeling it away from the body instead of trapping it within the closed cells of standard memory foam. The infusion of gel polymers throughout the foam contributes to both cooling properties and the virtual elimination of static fatigue. As a result of the alliance between open-cell foam and gel infusion, the Protekt 500 Pressure Relieving Foam Mattress holds its shape better, redistributes pressure over a larger surface area, and successfully channels heat away from the body, keeping patients cool, dry, and comfortable.

The heel section of the Protekt 500 Pressure Relieving Foam Mattress provides unparalleled pressure mapping results. Designed to guard the vulnerable heel area against incapacitating reoccurring pressure ulcers, the heel section of the Protekt^TM 500 utilizes a 30-degree slope to redistribute pressure to the entire lower leg. The top layer is finished with Lura-Quilt^TM, a patented, highly resilient aerated foam that keeps skin cool and dry.

The Protekt 500 Pressure Relieving Foam Mattress is available with optional PTSS rails. The PTSS is a side rail that is flush with the top of the mattress. This side rail is comprised of a much firmer foam that assists ingress and egress from the mattress by adding support to the patient and helping to prevent falls.
