The Allay reactive foam replacement surface is an advanced solution for preventing skin breakdown, designed for individuals at risk of pressure ulcers. Its innovative Patented Shear Reduction Technology effectively reduces the harmful effects of shear forces that can occur during patient movement or when the bed frame is adjusted. By absorbing these forces, the Allay surface helps to protect vulnerable skin, preventing injury and minimizing the risk of ulcers developing.
A third-party clinical trial conducted by Durham College's Department of Nursing and Department of Engineering validated the effectiveness of the SRT, ensuring that it works in real-world healthcare environments. This clinical trial supports the surface's ability to mitigate shear forces, a common issue for individuals with limited mobility or those who spend long periods in bed.
In addition to the SRT, the Allay mattress is equipped with accordion-cut side bolsters. These bolsters provide a secure transfer edge, making it easier for caregivers to assist with safe patient transfers and repositioning. The foam construction is designed to redistribute pressure evenly, supporting patient comfort while preventing pressure injuries. The surface accommodates individuals up to 350 lbs., making it suitable for patients seeking comfort.
Ideal for hospitals, nursing homes, and home care settings, the Allay Surface is a cost-effective choice that doesn't compromise patient care. It provides the essential combination of comfort, support, and protection to help keep patients safe. The mattress is available in a standard size of 36 x 7 x 80 and comes with a 2-year warranty, offering both clinical support and durability for long-term use.
