Permobil Align Therapeutic Mattress
The Permobil Align Mattress is a highly cost-effective, reactive foam replacement surface engineered to protect patients at risk of skin breakdown and pressure injuries. Featuring patented Shear Reduction Technology (SRT), this medical-grade surface provides 360 degrees of multi-directional movement to absorb and neutralize skin-damaging friction and shearing forces. This protection is especially vital during patient movement or when adjusting the bed frame's articulation.
Built as an optimal clinical solution for home care and long-term care environments, the mattress combines dynamic patient safety with reliable pressure redistribution without needing complex powered air systems.
Key Performance Features
Patented Shear Reduction Technology (SRT): Actively addresses multi-directional shearing forces to minimize the risk of skin breakdown and significantly reduce the need for frequent manual re-positioning.
Multi-Zoned Body Contouring: Strategically zoned at the head, torso, and feet with precise geometric cuts (including 4-inch square cuts under the sacrum and 2-inch square cuts under the heels) to release surface tension and match the natural shape of the body.
Fixed Reset Core: Foam pieces at the head and foot sections are permanently secured to ensure the internal components automatically re-set themselves to their baseline position after movement.
Accordion-Cut Side Bolsters: Firm perimeter borders feature specialized accordion cutouts to provide an exceptionally stable transfer edge while allowing the surface to flex seamlessly with moving medical bed frames.
Medical-Grade Fluid Protection: Enclosed in a fully sealed, fluid-resistant, five-way stretch incontinent cover (Recovery 5 top panel) designed to promote maximum immersion and easy clinical maintenance.
