Medicraft Hill-Rom Australia Pty Ltd offers a wide range of overlay mattress replacement systems mainly used in hospitals. The company specialises in the supply of Alto pressure overlay mattresses. The cushion material used in these mattresses is made of an elastic polymer. They can stretch to three times its normal size. These mattresses are soft to touch and very comfortable to use.
These durable pressure overlay mattresses are alternating pressure overlay mattresses. They ensure that the bodyweight is distributed evenly to ensure the comfort of the patient. They also decrease tissue deformation and provide an optional seating system that ensures 24 hour care. These automatically adjusting seat cushions offer low interface pressures when the patient is in a sitting position. This is possible as they have the ability to sense individual patient morphology. They do not compromise on tissue viability as the seating system is disconnected from the air mattress.
Alto pressure overlay mattresses also provide alternate air cushions that offer 10 minute 1 in 2 alternating cycle that provide pressure relief. Patients enjoy a comfortable seating and are safe from high cushion pressures used in conventional overlay system.
