BetterLiving® Mattress Overlay System
Cost effective alternating pressure therapy for medium risk patients.
The BetterLiving Mattress Overlay System is specifically engineered to provide effective alternating pressure therapy for patients requiring clinical pressure injury prevention. Designed as an overlay system, it transforms standard bedding surfaces into dynamic therapeutic platforms suitable for patients at medium risk of skin breakdown. The two cell cycle actively redistributes interface pressure to promote essential tissue perfusion and support wound healing protocols. This offers occupational therapists and clinical teams a practical, reliable pressure management solution for both residential aged care and community environments.
Alternating Pressure Therapy
The system utilises a dedicated two cell alternating pressure cycle to provide continuous pressure relief and tissue offloading. This clinically proven mechanism regularly shifts the points of contact between the patient and the mattress to encourage optimal blood flow. By mitigating prolonged tissue compression, this feature forms a critical component of pressure injury prevention protocols. Clinicians rely on this technology to safeguard vulnerable skin integrity in non ambulatory patients.
Automatic Weight Sensing
The integrated pump unit features sophisticated automatic weight sensing technology to simplify patient setup and reduce manual calibration errors. It continuously monitors and adjusts internal cell pressures to precisely match individual patient morphology and repositioning movements. Caregivers can also apply manual comfort overrides to fine tune the therapeutic surface according to specific patient preferences. This dual approach ensures optimal immersion and envelopment without compromising the fundamental clinical outcomes.
Mattress Overlay Design
Engineered as a flexible overlay system, this product delivers advanced pressure care capabilities without requiring full mattress replacement. It easily integrates with existing standard mattresses or specialised profiling beds to instantly upgrade the therapeutic value of the sleep surface. A safety underlay is recommended to ensure robust foundational support and prevent bottoming out during the pressure cycle. This versatile application makes it an ideal, cost effective intervention for transitional care or home based rehabilitation settings.
Targeted User Suitability
This alternating surface accommodates a broad safe working load range from forty to one hundred and sixty kilograms, suiting a diverse demographic of patients. It is specifically recommended for individuals categorised as being at medium risk of developing pressure injuries according to standard clinical scales. The robust construction provides consistent therapeutic delivery for both acute management and long term maintenance scenarios. Occupational therapists frequently prescribe this system to support NDIS participants navigating progressive mobility challenges.
Clinical Safety Compliance
The entire mattress system adheres to stringent Australian electrical and medical device standards to guarantee operational safety in all care environments. Registered with the ARTG, it meets the strict regulatory requirements necessary for confident clinical deployment. The comprehensive design incorporates essential safety features including fire retardant properties that comply with established crib fire testing protocols. Care facilities appreciate this level of documented compliance to satisfy ongoing risk management and accreditation demands.
