Modern anti-decubitus mattresses "Armed" are designed for bedridden patients who, for certain reasons, are in one position for a long time. Such products are significantly different from other types of medical orthopedic products. Experts say that such cellular mattresses are the best preventive and therapeutic means for the formation of bedsores.
Peculiarities
Anti-decubitus mattresses with a compressor from the company "Armed" are significantly different from the standard models that we are so used to using in everyday life. To begin with, it is worth understanding that these options are intended for bedridden patients and you should not use them for other purposes. The peculiarity of the products is the presence of special air cells. They are filled with air from the inside.
To supply air, a special automatic compressor is used, which works silently. It is designed for continuous functionality.
It should be noted that in comparison with other types of anti-decubitus mattresses, models with a compressor have higher performance. This is due to the presence of a "floating" surface, which is formed as a result of inflation and deflation. Please note that mattresses require a power source to operate.
Advantages
As noted above, mattresses with a compressor from the Armed company have a large number of advantages in comparison with other options. These include:
- high level of mobility surfaces;
- mattresses withstand a lot of weight;
- used for manufacturing quality materials;
- mattresses have a complex structure, which provides high performance.
It should be noted that not only air, but also a special gel is used as filling for the cells. These mattresses are designed for patients who have stage 1 and 2 bedsores. The peculiarity lies in the fact that the gel look is able to change shape in 3 directions. Many of these models are equipped with a special case.
It is worth noting that mattresses with a compressor are designed exclusively for immobile patients. The rest of the patients are recommended to use static products.
How to choose?
The company produces several types of anti-decubitus products, which must be taken into account in the acquisition process. Basically, the appropriate model is prescribed by the doctor, focusing on the needs of the patient.
First you need to pay attention to the material from which the base of the anti-decubitus mattress is made. High-quality models are created from polyurethane and polyvinyl chloride. These materials have excellent stability and reliability. The polyurethane mattress is easy to clean and dries quickly, making it easy to care for.
Decide in advance which type will be more suitable for a sick person: tubular or four-section. It should be noted that the first options are intended for patients with a large weight (more than 120 kg).
Pay attention to the manufacturer. It is necessary to highlight the moment that the Orthoforma company produces models that are somewhat similar to products from the Armed company. But these options do not differ at all in terms of quality and reliability.
Instructions for use
There is nothing complicated in using anti-decubitus models and they can be used at home, but only after the recommendation of a doctor.
- To begin with, it is worth saying that the product is placed on a regular mattress. It is necessary to turn the product with the part where the elements supplying air to the base are located.
- After you have laid the mattress, you need to take care of the compressor. The device is suspended from the back of the bed for more convenient use. Do not place the compressor on the floor, as there is a risk of damage to it. Be sure to check the condition of the tubes. See if the elements are twisted - air should pass freely into the base.
- After that the mattress cover the sheet and lay the person down. After that, the compressor is connected to the network. First check the integrity of all elements.
- Next you need start adjusting the pressure. In this case, it is necessary to focus on the weight of the sick person. For adjustment, a special regulator is used, which is located on the body. All actions must be carried out in the working position, when a person is lying on the mattress. To check the pressure indicators, you need to hold your finger in the place where the patient's buttocks are located. This is due to the fact that it is in this zone that the point of maximum emphasis on the surface is located. If the pressure is normal, the fingers between the two mattresses (regular and anti-decubitus) will pass easily.
Please note that the product needs periodic cleaning. It is best to use a damp cloth for this. It is recommended to store the mattress in a deflated state.
Sometimes people suffering from some serious illnesses are forced to observe strict bed rest. Due to such a long stay without movement, bedsores form on the patient's body. In order to prevent their occurrence and thereby alleviate the suffering of a sick person, as a rule, special mattresses are used that have special properties.
The most popular today is a cellular anti-decubitus mattress from Armed.
purpose
With prolonged contact with a soft flat surface and the influence of the patient's own weight, blood supply and tissue innervation are disrupted, leading to necrotic changes. These changes affect not only the skin, but also the muscle tissue, and in some particularly severe cases, the bone structure. In addition, atrophic phenomena caused by prolonged compression occur in the internal organs.
These changes, starting with a slight blood stasis and turning into dry or wet necrosis, can lead to the development of sepsis.
In order to avoid such detrimental consequences, the patient is periodically turned over, thereby reducing the time of exposure to a certain part of the body. But such a procedure requires the constant presence of another person and considerable effort, and for the patient, such manipulations cause pain.
When using an anti-decubitus mattress, there is no need to turn over, contact with the surface of the mattress does not occur over the entire surface, but only at some points. In addition, these numerous points of contact automatically change their location, which means that there is no constant squeezing of the vessels. Therefore, the use of a specialized mattress in comparison with the usual turning over has a lot of advantages.
Features and Benefits
Specialized products for bedridden and elderly people have been manufactured by Armed for over 15 years. Anti-decubitus cellular mattress with compressor was created by the company thanks to their many years of experience and modern technology. In order to understand how such a mattress works, it is necessary to study in detail the device and the principle of operation of this product.
The basis of the mattress are isolated cells (chambers), shaped like honeycombs and consisting of a polymeric material.
With the help of a compressor connected to the chambers with special tubes, air is pumped. It enters first into some rows of cells, while the other part remains without air, and then after some time already into other cells. After some time, the process is repeated in the reverse order, the air enters the deflated chambers, and the filled cells are released from it. The duration of the cycle is usually 6 to 12 minutes.
Alternating inflation of one or the other section of the mattress is necessary to prevent problems with blood supply. Thanks to this technology, the patient's body is in contact with the mattress at different points and for a short time, as a result of which bedsores do not have time to form. This mattress is designed to achieve the maximum effect in the sacral, gluteal, scapular and occipital regions, in which the body pressure is greatest.
Its use on bedridden patients has the most favorable effect, expressed in round-the-clock massaging of the patient's body.
Automatic air supply would not be possible without a compressor. It is designed for long-term round-the-clock work. The cellular mattress is made of materials that do not cause allergic reactions and is designed for bedridden patients whose weight does not exceed 120 kg.
Classification and varieties
The Armed company, in addition to the cellular version, has developed and produces other types of mattresses that have a slightly different look and configuration.
Anti-decubitus mattresses are divided into two groups: static and dynamic.
static
The surface of these models does not move, since they do not have control blocks and systems. The anti-decubitus effect in such models is carried out due to the uniform distribution of the load over the entire surface of the mattress.
These models perfectly adapt to the anatomical features of the body.
The main advantage of static models is an acceptable price due to the absence of a compressor. In addition, they can be used in places where there is no or temporarily no electricity. But it is better not to use them for people who are completely immobilized.
This group is more suitable for patients with partial mobility, that is, who can periodically get up.
A variation of this group is gel mattress. The cells of this mattress are filled with gel instead of air. Gel models are more suitable for people whose bedsores are at stages 1-2 of development.
The shape of gel models can change in three directions at once. From the right side, the gel flows smoothly to the left side of the mattress, and from the top it moves to the bottom area and can flow from the front to the back.
It has excellent characteristics gel model 563. It consists of three sections, with natural latex as an additional layer and a special cover that can be sanitized. This autonomous model has an excellent anti-decubitus effect and can withstand loads up to 120 kg.
Standalone models also include four-section mattress, consisting of polyurethane foam and having a removable cover made of waterproof fabric. A distinctive feature of this material is its inability to heat up under the influence of the temperature of the human body. Therefore, a long stay on it does not cause a person a feeling of discomfort. This material is breathable, so the microclimate for the skin is very favorable.
In addition, the polyurethane mattress is resistant to disinfectants, which means that it can be safely processed without fear of damaging the base.
dynamic
Dynamic mattresses are all equipped with compressors, thanks to which air enters the chambers. In addition to cellular mattresses belonging to this group, the company produces tubular models. This design is based on cylinders located perpendicular to the length of the mattress, which are interconnected into a single whole. Unlike a cellular mattress, the tubular structure is able to withstand a weight of more than 120 kg. Such mattresses are very often equipped with airflow.
This function contributes to the creation of the most comfortable microclimate for the patient's skin. In addition, a waterproof sheet comes with the mattress.
The massage effect is achieved due to the constant change of pressure in the cylinders, with an interval of 6 minutes. These models are suitable for patients with stage 3-4 bedsores. The advantages of these models include ease of handling with sufficient efficiency, as well as the possibility of replacing a failed cylinder. But compared to cellular mattresses, the balloon version has a lesser massage effect.
From cellular models stands out orthoforma. The surface of such a mattress is made of a hypoallergenic porous material that promotes good ventilation of the skin. The design of the Orthoforma mattress is designed for patients with spinal injuries, as well as for patients with various degrees of burns.
In addition, this mattress is used for people who have had strokes, heart attacks and various operations that require a long stay in a motionless state. The Orthoforma mattress is equipped with an intelligent compressor and its protection in case of overcurrent, as well as adjustment of the rigidity of the chambers.
Instructions for use
In order for the mattress to have the desired effect, you must follow the instructions for use.
- First you need to install the pump on a stable surface or attach it with hooks located on the body on the bed rails.
- Then you need to spread it on the bed on top of a regular mattress. The free ends need to be tucked under a regular mattress. When laying the product, it is necessary to take into account the location of the entrance intended for the connecting tubes, they must be in the foot section of the bed along with the compressor.
- Further, the pump is connected to the tubes, and they, in turn, to the mattress. After that, you need to make sure that the tubes are not twisted and do not fall under the mattress. Turn on the pump by pressing the "On" button. ”, and the air begins to flow, filling the cells.
Effectively disinfect and purify the air. They provide highly effective disinfection of the surrounding air from 95 to 99.9%. Absolutely safe for people and animals, it is possible to use the recirculator indoors in the presence of people. Easy to use does not require additional operating costs.
Recirculators are applied in rooms for air disinfection in order to reduce the level of bacteria and create conditions to prevent the spread of pathogens of infectious diseases.
Used indoors with an increased risk of the spread of infectious agents: in medical and preventive, preschool, school, industrial and public organizations and other premises with a large crowd of people, as well as in domestic premises in the presence and absence of people.
The principle of operation of the Armed recirculator- the process of air disinfection takes place directly in the body of the device - the internal fan drives along the lamp, cleaning takes place under the influence of ultraviolet rays, the protective glass transmits only visible radiation, that is, ordinary light.
In terms of electrical safety, ARMED irradiators-recirculators comply with the requirements of GOST 12.2.025.
