ICU Foam Mattress

The Huikang ICU mattress is not just a piece of foam; in fact, you have misunderstood it!

To prevent pressure ulcers, frequent repositioning and the assistance of pressure ulcer mattresses are effective and economical methods. As a manufacturer of nursing supplies, Huikang offers a variety of products for preventing pressure ulcers. Among them, pressure ulcer mattresses are consulted by many people. However, even so, some people still worry. Isn't this pressure ulcer mattress just "a piece of foam"? Can it prevent pressure ulcers?

In fact, you have all misunderstood pressure ulcer mattresses. A pressure ulcer mattress is not just a piece of foam. It is based on the physical principle of pressure reduction, where pressure (P) equals force (F) divided by surface area (S). When bedridden patients use pressure ulcer mattresses, under the condition of constant gravitational force, increasing the contact area between the mattress and the body can reduce pressure (the effect of pressure). The Huikang pressure ulcer mattress adopts the physical principle of increasing the area under force and is jointly developed with clinical nursing experts. As for how pressure ulcer mattresses prevent pressure ulcers, it can be summarized as 10 points: "four noes, three reductions, two preventions, and one breathability." The "four noes" mean that compared to air mattresses, it does not require a power supply, maintenance, noise, or dizziness, which can solve clinical safety and patient sleep comfort issues. The "three reductions" use the physical principle of increasing the area under force to reduce pressure, such as pressure, friction, shear force, etc., prolonging the time between repositioning and making nursing easier. The "two preventions and one breathability" refer to the mattress cover having the functions of moisture-proof, waterproof, and breathable. This is not something that a simple piece of foam can achieve.

What Does a Pressure Ulcer Mattress Look Like?

The pressure ulcer mattress is composed of polyurethane foam and memory foam. It is a static pressure ulcer mattress with a dual-layer design. The surface layer is cut into different-sized square blocks through cutting technology. By cutting into square blocks, the ICU pressure ulcer mattress maximizes the contact area between the body and the mattress, reducing the pressure borne by the body per unit area and achieving the effect of preventing pressure ulcers.

The cover of the pressure ulcer mattress is made of four-way elastic waterproof and breathable fabric, which can conform to the pressure reduction layer to disperse pressure. Moreover, the waterproof and breathable cover of the pressure ulcer mattress can protect the inner sponge from contamination.
