MaxCare antidecubitus mattress

MaxCare is a high quality static antidecubitus mattress designed for use in beds where mattress width and very high patient weight are required. The mattress is intended for the prevention of pressure ulcers in patients with low to medium risk of pressure ulcers in f.ex. hospitals, nursing homes and home care. The mattress should be used as part of a pressure ulcer prevention programme. The mattress is 17 cm thick and the recommended weight is less than 250 kg.

The 5 cm thick upper layer of the mattress interior is a fire-retardant, softly mouldable visco-elastic foam (density 50 kg/m³), which equalises tissue pressures to prevent the development of pressure ulcers. The 12 cm thick base layer is a fire-retardant and durable rigid foam, HR foam (density 55 kg/m³), which supports the patient and eases postural support and patient movement. The two foam layers are glued together and have a total thickness of 17 cm.

The mattress hygiene cover is a polyester hygiene fabric coated with polyurethane, which is impermeable to liquids but still breathable. The material is Oeko-Tex certified, bi-elastic, antimicrobial *) and fire retardant. The zipper is protected by a drip flap to prevent moisture from entering the inside of the hygiene cover. The cover can be machine washed at 70-95°C when turned inside out.

MaxCare Rescue: The HighCare antidecubitus mattress is also available with a rescue cover. The fixed rescue cover is designed for rapid evacuation of the patient for example in case of fire. Rescue cover's upper side is made of the same material as the hygiene cover and the base material is a non-slip, water-repellent Oeko-Tex certified polyurethane coated polyamide. The rescue cover has integrated pull handles at both ends. The long sides have their own Velcro straps for patient restraint. All straps are in their own pockets and therefore do not interfere with bedding. The rescue cover can be machine washed on a delicate cycle at 70°C.

The MaxCare mattress is a Class I medical device in accordance with the Medical Device Regulation 2017/745 (MDR) and is CE marked. The mattress is manufactured in Finland by Vevia Finland Oy.
