Waffle Static Air Mattress Overlay BULK | Qty of 6 | McKesson

McKessons Waffle Static Air Mattress Overlay is a non-power reactive air support surface that provides patients with support and protection. The Static Air Overlay is suitable for a range of patients including; intensive care patients, medical surgery patients, emergency department patients, operating room patients, discharged patients, and post-operation patients. The Waffle Static Air Mattress Overlay uses immersion and envelopment in order to redistribute pressure at bony prominences. Bony Prominences are areas where a patient's bones are close to the surface. These areas are commonly the areas that are under the most pressure and likely to develop pressure bed sores. The mattress overlay is able to prevent pressure bedsores through the unique venting holes throughout the surface of the overlay. The overlay's ability to increase air circulation is implemented to keep patients cool, dry, and comfortable. The overlay is ideal for providing patients with protection through possible lengthy hospital journeys. However, short-stay patients may also benefit from one of these overlays due to the body's ability to develop pressure bedsores in a minimum of only six to eight hours. In addition to the Waffle Static Air Mattress Overlay's ability to prevent pressure bedsores, the overlay also makes lateral transfers, boosts, and turns easier for patients and healthcare workers. The overlay additionally protects patients in multiple positions such as supine and prone. The added help the overlay provides for transfer also makes the job easier on health care workers and their everyday tasks of transferring and turning their patients.
