ICare M2 Medical Mattress

Description

Castellated Support Surface
The castellated design allows each individual segment to adapt independently to body contours, providing optimal support. The modular cuts facilitate horizontal movement, minimising shear forces.

Two-Layer Construction
The mattress features a firm, U-shaped XP support foam base with sidewall reinforcements for stability, combined with a medium-firm comfort layer consisting of fully cut modules. This configuration is specifically designed to reduce the risk of roll-out and minimise the chance of bed-related falls.

Zerotec Cover
The Zerotec fabric is a high-performance medical barrier material, offering multi-directional elasticity to reduce shear on pressure redistribution surfaces. It is waterproof and easy to clean, while its microporous structure allows for breathability. The cover includes welded seams and waterfall flaps to provide enhanced fluid resistance.

SlideSkin™ Anti-Shear Technology
SlideSkin™ technology incorporates a dual-layer membrane that minimises shear by allowing the outer cover to move with the user’s body, thus reducing friction and enhancing comfort.

Firm Edge Support
Designed to prevent falls and roll-outs, this feature provides a stable edge, making transfers in and out of bed safer and more supported.

Pressure Care
The pressure care rating is determined by achieving an average peak pressure of less than 22.1 mmHg, indicating effective pressure redistribution.

Icare’s risk category ratings are derived from multiple factors including average peak pressure measurements, recommendations from therapists, case studies, industry benchmarks, and the Waterlow scale. To ensure a client’s compatibility with a pressure-reducing surface, the most reliable method is to perform visual inspections of pressure points consistently over a 5-day period.
