The mattresses will need to have the technology that reduces soft tissue distortion and promotes blood flow, creating a platform that is highly effective for the prevention and healing of pressure ulcers through Stage IV, as well as treating patients with post-operative flaps and grafts. Patients whose medical condition precludes turning and repositioning, as well as spinal cord injury may use and benefit from this type of mattress. Must automatically adjust to each patient�s weight, surface and turning and repositioning. Twelve-hour battery life is a must have feature for active therapy and patient transfer. Mattress will need to maintain normal blood flow and minimize soft tissue deformation. It will need to fit existing bed frames, including ICU, Med/Surg, and Bariatric.
