Answer

Dear Zen,

Thank you for your inquiry.  Given the patient's condition, he/she will benefit greatly from the following medical mattresses:

Alternating Pressure Mattress

The Alternating Pressure Mattress is designed to provide comfort and durability to the patient with pressure sore ulcers treatment. This mattress system is simple to set up and fits any standard hospital or home care beds.

Everair Low Air Loss Mattress

The Everair Low Air Loss Mattress System is engineered to reduce interface pressure for the prevention and treatment of stages I - IV pressure sore ulcers. Durable dual pump system combined with a high quality air flotation mattress, makes this low air loss mattress extremely reliable.

An important factor to consider is the patient's weight.  If the patient is overweight, we encourage you to evaluate our inventory of bariatric mattresses.

If you are also looking for a hospital bed, please refer to the following information page:

Hospital Beds

This information page will help you to assess the patient's needs as well as what will be the most convenient for the caregiver.

As for monitoring the patient's "conditions," if you could provide more specifics regarding these conditions, we can approach an answer.  In the meantime, take a moment to evaluate our personal safety alarms and vital signs monitors.  Perhaps these are what you are inquiring about.

If you have any further questions or need additional assistance, please call our medical equipment specialists at 1-877-706-4480.
