What is the Pressurease Mattress?
The Pressurease mattress has been manufactured from a visco-elastic polymer foam. This type of foam is sensitive to the heat of the body, and as the foam is gradually warmed, it conforms to the body shape. The mattress therefore reduces peak pressure points by supporting the load over a wide surface area. Due to the high degree of conformity achieved with the Pressurease mattress, the effects of shear forces and friction are reduced. In addition to the pressure-reducing qualities of the Pressurease mattress, patients who are nursed on these mattresses frequently comment on their comfort.
