The Prius Enhanced DX Mattress System differs from the Prius Enhance Mattress Overlay System in two important ways. First, it can tolerate a higher maximum weight of 500 lb., making it a better choice for institutions that need to accommodate bariatric patients. Second, its more substantial air cells measure 8", allowing for greater flotation depth and airflow between the patient and support surface. The cell in cell design also provides protection for the upper torso and sacrum during power outages.
Like the Enhance Mattress Overlay System, the Enhanced DX features a Slimline air pump that allows caregivers to adjust the softness or firmness of the mattress to suit the patient's needs. A cable management system, CPR quick-release lever, and active electronic monitoring system all help to keep the mattress and its immediate environment safe and free of hazards.
