- Extra product information
STRUCTURE
The overlay has a combination of two high technology urethane membranes. These are designed to provide effective pressure redistribution due to the multi directional stretchability of the materials which also reduces the risk of hammocking. The smooth surface reduces sheer and friction. The material is breathable, waterproof and resistant to microbes and fungi. The product is xray translucent.
ATTACHMENT
The mattress is fitted with an elasticated strap to ensure it remains firmly in place on both single and double beds.
PUMP
The pump valve ensures products are inflated to the correct pressure and cannot be over inflated. It is light and easy to use and has large air flow for rapid inflation.- Cleaning Requirements
Easy to clean. Follow manufacturer's instructions
- Caution
All mattress overlays must be monitored to prevent 'bottoming out'. This occurs when the user's weight bears down so hard on the product material that it is flattened and the bony parts are pressed against the surface below the cushion. Where bottoming out occurs even with correct use (eg correct choice and correct inflation level) , a different product may need to be considered.
