Drive Medical Gravity 7 Long Term Care Pressure Redistribution Mattress
The Drive Medical Gravity 7 is a premium, non-powered therapeutic foam replacement mattress designed to provide exceptional pressure redistribution and shear reduction for individuals in long-term care facilities and home care environments. Built with three full layers of high-density, latex-free foam, this surface maximizes both patient comfort and clinical value by targeting vulnerable pressure points to proactively prevent pressure injuries.
Available with standard flat borders or an optional 3-inch elevated perimeter, the mattress accommodates varying safety plans and prevents accidental patient falls while facilitating easy bed transfers.
Key Performance Features
3-Layer Therapeutic Foam Core: Maximizes patient immersion and body weight distribution across three distinct high-density layers.
Zoned Die-Cut Top Layer: Features full-width, specialized die-cutting technology that optimizes skin pressure redistribution where the body needs it most.
Visco Foam Heel Section: A dedicated, ultra-soft memory foam foot section delivers extremely low interface pressure to protect and offload vulnerable heels.
Horizontally Scored Bottom Layer: Equipped with full-length, horizontally scored articulation cuts that allow the mattress to bend effortlessly with adjustable medical bed frames, significantly extending its structural life span.
Solid Edge Support Perimeters: High-density foam side borders provide a firm, rigid edge to stabilize the mattress during patient transfers and prevent side rollouts. [1, 2]
Dual-Material Stretch Cover: Enclosed in a removable, multi-stretch polyurethane/nylon top cover that is fluid-resistant, low-shear, and vapor-permeable to manage microclimates. The bottom cover features a durable, waterproof vinyl to keep the core fully protected.
