Anti-decubitus mattresses are medical devices whose use is recommended in all cases where a person, due to health problems such as illnesses and injuries, needs to stay in bed for prolonged periods or 24 hours a day. Used mainly within clinical and hospital facilities, they are designed to reduce body friction and pressure, preventing excessively prolonged contact between the skin and the mattress from leading to serious lesions or sores. These mattresses, in fact, unlike standard ones, redistribute body pressure, dispersing heat and moisture and, at the same time, stimulate the body to maintain correct posture to avoid the onset of back pain and limb aches. But, specifically, how do anti-decubitus mattresses work? Their operation is very simple: with the help of a compressor or thanks to the specific characteristics of the mattresses themselves, they are able to inflate and deflate, massaging the body and dispersing heat and moisture.
Holity offers a wide range of anti-decubitus mattresses, specific to every patient need. Read on to discover them all!
Models
Within this category, it is possible to find various models of anti-decubitus mattresses, which differ based on structure, dimensions, construction materials, and basic technology. Choosing one model over another mainly depends on the patient's needs and health conditions and, consequently, on the decubitus risk assessment scale. On Holity you can choose between models with a compressor (or static) and models without a compressor (or dynamic).
Anti-decubitus mattresses with a compressor (or static) correspond to air mattresses, indicated for patients at high risk of developing sores or for bariatric patients, as they promote good tissue oxygenation and proper blood circulation. They can have an air bubble or interchangeable element structure. Their operation occurs via a compressor which, powered by electricity and connected to the mattress, detects the pressure exerted by the patient's body on the mattress and automatically generates continuous or alternating pressure in order to keep the patient's muscles active.
Models without a compressor (or dynamic) include various options, full-section or multi-section, such as water mattresses, hollow fiber mattresses or expanded polyurethane mattresses. These are mattresses that, thanks to the specific characteristics of the construction materials, do not require inflation. In particular, water mattresses autonomously redistribute body pressure across the entire support structure, making it lower than arterial pressure and reducing the risk of ulcers or sores. Hollow fiber or expanded polyurethane mattresses adapt to the patient's body, ensuring comfort and flexibility.
Our online catalogue features accessory-equipped models, complete with washable covers or compressors with adjustment. Furthermore, all anti-decubitus mattresses by Holity are breathable, highly hygienic, safe and versatile. It is, in fact, of fundamental importance to ensure the patient correct skin breathability and a high level of hygiene to prevent the formation of pressure sores.
