Drive Medical Gravity 8 Pressure Redistribution Mattress

Made with three tiers of latex-free foam, this mattress is perfect for patients who may develop pressure ulcers or suffer discomfort due to extended bed rest. The mattress is designed with a top layer employing specialized die-cutting technology, enhancing zoned pressure distribution and ensuring that pressure is evenly spread throughout the body. This aids in reducing the likelihood of pressure sores, a frequent problem for those with restricted movement.

The mattress's lower layer features horizontal articulation cuts that improve its durability and prolong the mattress's longevity. These articulation cuts enable the mattress to bend more readily, guaranteeing it can be utilized with adjustable bed frames without sacrificing its performance. A distinctive aspect of this mattress is the uniquely crafted heel section, which includes a channel-cut foam core to relieve pressure from sensitive heel regions. This focused pressure alleviation aids in preventing heel ulcers, a frequent issue for immobile patients.

Along with its unique foam layers, the mattress features high-density foam edges that offer robust edge support. This assistance aids in avoiding sagging and guarantees secure patient transfers, providing a sturdy and solid edge for individuals when entering or exiting the bed. The mattress features a removable multi-stretch cover that is fluid-resistant, low-shear, and allows vapor to pass through. This cover aids in safeguarding the skin against friction, moisture, and shear forces, all of which may lead to skin deterioration.

The mattress can be obtained with or without elevated side rails, providing options tailored to patient needs and safety standards. It complies with the flammability standards CFR 1632 and CFR 1633, guaranteeing adherence to vital safety regulations. Engineered to support a weight limit of 400 lbs., the mattress is ideal for patients, providing an optimal mix of comfort, safety, and support.
