Anti-decubitus cellular mattress

Anti-decubitus mattresses are formed on those areas of the skin that are regularly subjected to pressure. Such injuries are dangerous to human health and require competent treatment. Special mattresses that have an effective effect against neurotrophic disorders help to cope with this task. In this article we will talk about the best models and highlight several main types of such mattresses.

Specialists divide mattresses into three broad categories:

1. With filler. Such models are recommended for use by patients who are partially immobilized. Thanks to the special structure of the material, the mattress distributes the load evenly. The package includes not only a mattress, but also several pillows. They should be placed under the heels and lower legs, as these parts of the body are most at risk.
2. Cellular models have such a name because of the non-standard structure, which is a whole block consisting of small air cells. All of them are connected to the control panel that controls the compressor. He is engaged in forcing into the air cells. The user is allowed to independently regulate the amount and degree of air supplied. A massage effect can be achieved by changing the pressure in all cells. Each cell has a small ventilation hole through which air exits under the pressure of the user's mass. Thus, there is some deliberation of the patient and the formation of sweat is not allowed, which is an excellent prevention of pressure sores. Also, mattresses of this type are without compressors. In this case, they consist of a gel and are similar to standard products with a filler. Massage effect is achieved due to the division of the surface into many cells. Manufacturing comes from extremely high quality material that is practical and easy to wash.
3. Balloon (tubular) products are recommended for use by people weighing more than one hundred kilograms. The appearance resembles several tubular pillows connected to each other. They take turns gaining air and help create a massage effect. The surface of the model is made using unique laser technology, so that air passes through small channels directly to the user's body and prevents sweating. This prevents the formation of pressure sores and makes their treatment several times faster. Such products are made of special hypoallergenic material.

It can be cleaned by processing with special tools.

Cost: from 20,000 to 23,500 rubles.

Terms of Use

The mattress should be placed on the bed with air cells up so that the connecting tubes are located in the lower section of the bed. If you are using a honeycomb type product, then it should be carefully distributed over the entire area of ​​the bed and curl free parts under a regular mattress.

After the mattress is laid out correctly, you need to connect to the compressor. Before this, it is necessary to check the bending of the tube and exclude the possibility of their bending or falling under the mattress. After that, the model is covered with a sheet without installing any fastening elements. Before placing the patient on the product, it is necessary to test the surface and make sure that the cells create the right alternating pressure and function properly.

The main parameter of therapeutically effective use and the right choice is the optimal pressure setting. Determining the level of pressure is not difficult: it is believed that the less the patient’s weight, the less pressure is required.

What to look for when choosing

In order to choose the right decubitus mattress, you should always consult a doctor who will give recommendations on the purchase after a detailed examination and examination of the patient’s personal case. Basically, when buying, it recommends taking into account the following factors:

1. View. The cellular type model is recommended for use by completely bedridden patients. Balloon mattresses are designed for immobilized patients. If it is supposed to be used for strictly preventive purposes, then static models with a compressor should be chosen.
2. Size should be considered based on their length and width of the bed or other furniture where the person is lying. The dimensions of the product must necessarily be larger than the size of the patient by 10-15 centimeters, since in the horizontal position the growth slightly increases.
3. Material. The most popular and high-quality are PVC and plastic tracks filled with gas and made on the basis of polyurethane.
4. Having a compressor plays a big role in use. He must have such qualities as noiselessness and durability.
5. Manufacturer. Before buying a particular model, you should familiarize yourself with the company, read user reviews and make sure the quality of the products sold to it.
6. Weight is an important fact when choosing a mattress. Cellular products are designed for use with a weight of not more than one hundred kilograms. If the weight exceeds the specified mark, then we recommend that you look at the balloon mattress.
7. The blowing system is a useful and convenient addition. It is recommended for completely immobilized patients, since in their case excessive sweating is fraught with bad consequences. Mattresses with a blowing system help to improve the ventilation process and prevent further deterioration of the skin.

Indications

Such orthopedic products should bring the patient not only comfort, but also health. After all, a long stay in one position promotes squeezing of soft tissues, which can cause necrosis - necrosis of skin cells. They form in places of greatest pressure (shoulder blades, knees, buttocks, shoulders, nape). Of course, there is a whole list of procedures aimed at fixing the problem. But a properly selected mattress is an indispensable assistant in the prevention and treatment of pressure sores.

There are several stages to this disease.

The higher the degree of damage, the fewer ways to help. It happens that surgery is the only way to restore health. But in the light and medium stages (I - II degree), you can completely do with the use of an anti-decubitus cellular mattress. However, this product is intended for patients weighing no more than 100-120 kg. If the patient weighs more, he should look at other models. In this case, a tubular mattress is better.

Description

Cellular models belong to dynamic mattresses. They differ from their “static” counterparts in that they are constantly on the move. Some sections of the canvas are inflated, while others are deflated, creating residual vibrations over the entire surface. The structure of the product is cellular.Due to the ordered arrangement of the chambers resembling a honeycomb, an excellent orthopedic effect is created on the whole body.

To obtain a pronounced massage effect, some models are equipped with compressors. With its help, air is pumped into the cells every 4-6 minutes and the pressure is regulated. The rhythmic redistribution of air mass allows you to massage all parts of the patient’s body, ensuring normal blood circulation in areas already affected by the disease.

Such anti-decubitus mattresses with a compressor are often available with laser perforation.

Under the weight of the patient's body, the air pumped by the unit exits through microscopic openings and promotes the evaporation of moisture. Today, these air-blown products are indispensable in the prevention of pressure sores and are extremely convenient for patients with excessive sweating.

There are also dynamic cellular mattresses that do not need a power source. They are sold already inflated, without a compressor and power supply. When the body moves, air itself moves from one part of the canvas to another without the aid of electronics.

Application

Regardless of which orthopedic product is selected, there is a certain instruction for its use. To do this, you must:

1. lay an anti-decubitus mattress cells up and connect it to the compressor with tubes. Moreover, the connecting hoses should be located in the area of ​​the patient's legs. And the supercharger itself is installed next to the berth,
2. then pump up orthopedic product and check the quality of work,
3. to finish a mattress a sheet or absorbent diaper and shift the patient.

But the most important thing in preparing the mattress for work is checking and adjusting the pressure.

To do this, put your fingers between the segments of the decubitus product and the canvas of a conventional mattress. This must be done at the point of highest contact (in the sacral region) and in working condition. If the fingers do not enter, the pressure should be raised, and if they pass completely freely, lower.

Criterias of choice

Today in the market of orthopedic products a wide selection of decubitus cellular mattresses is presented. All of them are aimed at the prevention and treatment of pressure sores. But not all of them can be beneficial without the appropriate recommendation of a doctor and a competent approach to the choice. Therefore, when buying, you should pay attention to some more details. Namely:

• compressor noise level. It depends on him how strong the patient’s sleep will be. After all, the compressor should work without stopping. And although the maximum allowable noise norm at night, established by law, is 30 dB, it is better to focus on devices with a noise level in the range of 5-10 dB. But the most comfortable mattresses, judging by the numerous reviews, are models with several power modes, the presence of different cycles and the “static” option,
• the presence of a blowing system. A model with such a function will cost a little more, but additional comfort and a speedy recovery deserve it,
• the size of the mattress. It depends on how well the product will function. After all, if its dimensions exceed the size of the bed, sagging cells will not be adequately supplied with air, and this will significantly reduce the life of the anti-decubitus mattress. If on the contrary, the product is smaller than the bed, the patient will be uncomfortable,
• completeness of the mattress. In addition to the compressor, power supply and connecting tubes, the kit should also contain parts for self-repair. Such a composition will allow for a long time to extend the life of the product. And in the sets of some models there are also bacteriostatic bedspreads, which are used in medical institutions,
• product material. Qualitative models are made of polyurethane foam (polyurethane foam) and PVC (polyvinyl chloride). These durable synthetic materials are easy to clean, dry quickly and do not cause allergies.

Care and storage

Like any orthopedic product, an anti-decubitus mattress must be cleaned of hair, dust and other contaminants. It must be periodically wiped with a damp cloth. In this case, you can use mild detergents, avoiding substances containing abrasive particles. All this needs to be done in a working (inflated) position. Store, on the contrary, in a deflated state and away from direct sunlight.

And also keep the connecting hoses clean.

They should not be dust, soot and dirt. Before storage, they must be folded carefully to prevent bending or clamping.

You will learn more about the anti-decubitus mesh mattress in the next video.

Type of material and filler

The answer to the question: which anti-decubitus mattress is better, is not at all simple. The qualities of mattresses depend on the qualities of the materials from which they are made. The most common material used in dynamic mattresses is polyvinyl chloride (PVC), in other words - vinyl oilcloth. It is cool to the touch, durable and easy to clean, in case of a puncture it is easy to glue it yourself. Oilcloth does not let air through, so if the patient sweats, special absorbent sheets should be laid on it.

Another option is to use a rubberized fabric, which consists of PVC with the addition of nylon. Such a fabric is warmer and more comfortable for those lying in comparison with oilcloth, but it is more difficult to seal if damaged.

Polyurethane foam (PUF) is often used. It is related to foam rubber and is an elastic material that does not cause allergies and is resistant to the action of microorganisms. This is a "breathing" material, it is good in that it lets air through, but does not absorb moisture, does not heat up from the patient's body.

To increase strength and tightness, the elastic elements of dynamic mattresses are laminated from the inside with a film, for example, polyurethane, which can withstand a large number of blow-inflate cycles.

Anti-decubitus mattresses are not only dynamic, but also static. The surface of the static mattress does not move, and the risk of bedsores is reduced due to the better distribution of the patient's weight on the surface of the mattress due to the peculiarities of the latter's internal structure. These mattresses are similar to orthopedic models that have become familiar. Static mattresses do not require electricity, so they are also called autonomous. They are inferior in efficiency to dynamic models, but are useful for the prevention of pressure sores or when the patient is contraindicated in any movements, for example, with injuries of the spine or neck. But, like all anti-decubitus mattresses, they facilitate falling asleep, which favorably affects the patient's recovery.

Different materials are used as fillers for a static anti-decubitus mattress: PUF, latex, gel, water, air, millet or flax seeds.

The latex used as a filler may be a natural or artificial material. It has amazing elasticity, very elastic, has bactericidal properties.

Latex (as well as silicone and similar materials) make shells for gel anti-decubitus mattresses. Inside this mattress are cells that are filled with a soft gel, which contributes to an even distribution of the patient's weight. Gel mattresses are versatile and quite effective, but have a lot of weight, which is not always convenient.

What else to look for when choosing a mattress

To understand how to choose an anti-decubitus mattress, a number of factors should be considered.

• The choice of a mattress should be based strictly on the recommendations of the attending physician. In some diseases, the patient is absolutely contraindicated in any movement, and the mattress should only be static. In other situations, it may become necessary to use a dynamic mattress with certain characteristics.
• The size of the mattress should match the size of the patient's bed. Their mismatch causes a lot of inconvenience and may interfere with the normal operation of the mattress.
• The mattress must be selected necessarily taking into account the weight of the patient. If the mattress is designed for less load, then the necessary massage effect cannot be achieved, the patient will not receive the expected help.
• The height of the decubitus mattress directly affects its effectiveness. The therapeutic effect is more pronounced where the body is as if immersed, and the load is distributed over a large area. Therefore, mattresses with a height of at least 10, and even better - 20 centimeters are more suitable for treating pressure ulcers that have already formed.
• If the mattress does not have a blow function, it is worth asking a question about the presence of micropores in its upper layer. Such micropores provide natural ventilation and significantly ease the patient’s position.
• When purchasing a dynamic mattress, you should find out about the noise level during compressor operation: it should not exceed 5–10 dB. It is also worthwhile to find out whether it is possible (if the noise will interfere with the patient) to remove the compressor to a greater distance, and to supply air through elongated tubes.
• We must take into account the reputation of the manufacturer of the anti-decubitus mattress. Chinese models are usually cheaper than domestic or European, but they have a shorter warranty period. The products of an unknown company can bring unpleasant surprises - for example, sometimes a PVC coating becomes a source of a sharp and difficult to smell.
• Having made a preliminary choice of a mattress model, it will be useful to search the Internet for reviews about it. Of course, reviews are very diverse - and not all of them are objective. But they often contain interesting information, and the clear predominance of positive or negative emotions is indicative in itself.
• And finally, even having bought a mattress, one should not forget that most of the treatment does not depend on the mattress, but on the people caring for the patient. To show constant attention, strictly adhere to the recommendations of doctors, turn over lying on time, regularly change sheets, massage, wipe with medical solutions - all this is necessary for the patient to recover quickly.

A few words about the care of an anti-decubitus mattress.

• It is necessary to clean and wipe the mattress when it is inflated. It is better to do this with a soft cloth, using soapy water, or wet wipes, without using alcohol-containing or coloring solutions, abrasive cleaners for this purpose.
• Before placing the patient on a dynamic mattress, you should make sure that the latter is working: pump it with a compressor and check the correct functioning.
• The tubes through which air is pumped between the compressor and the mattress should not bend or fall under the mattress. When storing the mattress, you must also ensure that there are no excesses on the tubes.
• It must be remembered that the compressor of a dynamic mattress works on electricity, and it should be looked after like any household appliance. Regularly remove dust from it, but not with a wet rag, monitor the condition of the wires supplying current, unplug from the outlet if it is not necessary to work, etc.

More detailed rules for the care of an anti-decubitus mattress, which are generally quite simple, are given in his passport or in the instruction manual.

The use of anti-decubitus mattresses is very useful for those who are forced to spend a lot of time lying down, almost without moving. They protect patients from the formation of pressure sores and contribute to the cure of the latter, if they have already appeared. Mattresses can be static and dynamic; each type has its own application area. Tubular dynamic mattresses usually have a more pronounced massage and therapeutic effect compared to cellular ones. The final choice of an anti-decubitus mattress should be based on the recommendations of doctors, on the study of the characteristics of the models on the market, and be made taking into account the weight of the patient.

Where can I buy an anti-decubitus mattress from the manufacturer?

Various companies sell anti-decubitus mattresses from Russian and foreign manufacturers. However, mediation always threatens to overpay for the buyer. Where can I go in search of an anti-decubitus mattress directly from the manufacturer, says an expert at Armed.

“Health is that area of ​​human life in which, as nowhere else, it is important to make informed and thoughtful decisions. Especially when a loved one for a while almost lost the ability to get out of bed. Therefore, priority should be given to the use of products of experienced manufacturers with a solid reputation, and based on the choice of time-tested models.

Armed Company is one of the largest manufacturers and suppliers of professional medical equipment, rehabilitation equipment, and medical equipment in Russia. Tests of our products took place both in clinical practice and at home. We offer models of anti-decubitus mattresses of all types: both static and dynamic - cellular and tubular.

Our goal is to provide maximum comfort to both the patient and his family. For example, in addition to an anti-decubitus mattress, you can purchase a kit for washing the head lying down or other accessories that increase the quality of life. At the same time, we adhere to a reasonable pricing policy and do not “cheat”.

Dynamic anti-decubitus mattresses prevent the formation of pressure sores, and can also contribute to their healing.

The dynamic anti-decubitus mattress with the "static" function allows you to simultaneously inflate all the cells of the mattress and use it in a static position.

Tubular dynamic mattresses are recommended for sedentary people, as well as people with a lot of weight.

The modern market for medical products can offer a wide selection of static anti-decubitus mattresses made in Russia.

An anti-decubitus mattress can significantly alleviate both the condition of the patient and the care for him.

Anti-decubitus mattresses are made of durable, easy-to-wash material and are suitable for regular use.

One of the problems with using a mattress is the constant sliding or creasing of a sheet under the patient. The solution will be to purchase a sheet with an elastic band or a cover for a mattress with a zipper. Do not attach sheets to the mattress with pins or other sharp objects.

Choose the type of decubitus mattress: step 1

All anti-decubitus mattresses can be divided into two groups - static and dynamic. They have different working principles and different indications.

Static mattresses are in many ways similar to conventional orthopedic models. They adapt to the shape of the patient’s body, reducing pressure on the most problematic points - heels, ankles, buttocks, shoulders. Most often, the filler of such mattresses is polyurethane foam, although there are models with a cellular structure and gel filler on the market.

Static anti-decubitus mattresses are suitable for patients who spend a lot of time in bed, but still get up from time to time and can move around. In such cases, a static anti-decubitus mattress will be an effective preventative measure.

Dynamic anti-decubitus mattresses have a completely different design. They consist of hollow sections into which air is pumped with a special compressor. The pressure in the cells is constantly changing, due to which there is a soft massage effect.

Dynamic mattresses are suitable for patients who cannot get out of bed and move, they are used not only for the prevention of pressure sores, but also in their comprehensive treatment. Such mattresses, depending on the design of the sections, are cellular and tubular.

Determine the design - cellular or tubular? Step 2

If you opted for a dynamic mattress, you will need to choose its type.

Cellular mattress, as you might guess, consists of many small cells that communicate with each other and look like cells. They are filled with air, which pumps the compressor, and, inflating and deflating, provide a massage effect. Cellular mattresses are a good prophylaxis of pressure sores, but they are also used to alleviate the condition of patients in whom mild to moderate pressure sores have already appeared. However, cellular mattresses have a limitation - they are not intended for patients weighing more than 120 kilograms.

Tubular mattress consists of a number of transverse cylinders. Each cylinder has the shape of a cylinder. The compressor drives the air, alternately inflating the cylinders, and this provides a more intense massage effect. The tubular decubitus mattress is suitable for patients whose weight exceeds 120 kilograms, and for those who already have moderate to severe pressure ulcers.

We evaluate models of anti-decubitus mattresses with and without airflow: step 3

The surface of some dynamic mattresses has many microscopic holes - azure perforation. This provides ventilation, which is especially important for heavily sweating patients.

Air mattresses provide added comfort and keep your skin dry, reducing the risk of pressure sores.

We take into account the weight of the patient and the size of the bed: step 4

It is very important to choose the right mattress size. It may be slightly smaller than the bed, but it is absolutely unacceptable for the mattress to hang from its edge. This will not allow air to circulate normally and the effectiveness of the mattress will decrease.

Therefore, before buying, carefully measure the size of the bed, as well as the height of the patient. The length of the mattress should be at least 30 cm more than the growth of the patient, otherwise it will be uncomfortable to lie on it.

The weight of the patient is another factor that needs close attention. The more the patient weighs, the larger the sections of the dynamic mattress should be. With a weight of 120 kilograms, small cells will be ineffective, but large cylinders of a tubular mattress will have the desired effect.

On a note

If the patient's weight is close to the maximum load capacity of the decubitus mattress, it is better to choose a model designed for more weight. For example, for a patient weighing 110 kilograms, a tubular mattress would be a more reasonable choice, although it can technically withstand a cellular one.

An anti-decubitus mattress is laid on top of a regular one. The compressor, which is equipped with dynamic models, is fixed on the back of the bed or its side so that the tubes through which air enters do not bend, and the attendants have free access to the compressor controls - the pressure in the mattress sometimes needs to be adjusted.

A properly selected anti-decubitus mattress provides bedridden patients with comfort and restful sleep, helps to relieve muscle and prevents circulatory disorders. Perhaps this is the easiest way to prevent bedsores, and at the same time it is quite affordable, especially if you opt for products from Russian manufacturers.

Choosing an anti-decubitus mattress from the manufacturer: step 5

Anti-decubitus mattresses are medical rehabilitation equipment and they need to be purchased only from well-known manufacturers who vouch for the strength, durability and harmlessness of their products. Cheap low-quality models can bring a lot of unpleasant surprises - a pungent chemical smell, an allergy to the material from which the mattress is made, a noisy and unreliable compressor. Do not risk the patient’s health and well-being for the sake of insignificant savings. Remember - any anti-decubitus mattresses, regardless of type and design, must have the appropriate certificates, since they are nominally related to medical equipment.

“We have been manufacturing various means of rehabilitation, including anti-decubitus mattresses and pillows, for many years, - says the representative of the company "Armed". - In our catalog there are both static and dynamic models, both cellular and tubular. Our mattresses are made of harmless hypoallergenic materials, they are easy to wash and clean, they are strong and durable - therefore we can give them a guarantee with full responsibility. Our static mattresses are made of polyurethane foam, and some models have gel inserts that provide additional protection and comfort. The dynamic mattresses from Armed are made of durable polyvinyl chloride or nylon and equipped with a compact compressor with simple controls that allow you to change the air supply modes and adjust the pressure in the cells or cylinders. Importantly, our compressors are virtually silent - they will not disturb the patient’s peace.

Our mattresses can help prevent the appearance of necrosis in the treatment of pressure sores, but they can not be considered the only or even the main means. Pressure ulcers are a serious medical problem, they require the complex therapy prescribed by the doctor. ”
