The General Hospital Bed Pad significantly enhances patient comfort during extended hospital stays through its advanced design:

• Multi-layered, Multi-density Core: This core provides optimal comfort and postural support, crucial for long-term patient care.
• Advanced Care Option with Viscotech Memory Foam: For even greater comfort, the Advanced Care configuration includes a double-thickness top layer of Viscotech memory foam. This material molds to the patient’s body, evenly distributing weight and significantly reducing pressure points, which helps prevent pressure ulcers.

Yes, this hospital bed pad is designed with multiple advanced safety, protection, and durability features suitable for clinical environments:

• Fire Safety Compliance: The mattress meets stringent fire safety requirements, complying with both California Technical Bulletin 121 and 16CFR part 1633.
• Passive Restraint System: It incorporates the FirmEdge passive restraint system, featuring two 3-inch wide zones of ultra-firm foam along the perimeter to enhance stability, aid patient positioning, and help mitigate the risk of falls.
• Dual-Layer Fluid Protection: The pad offers two levels of fluid defense:
  • The external cover is fluid-proof, anti-fungal, and stain-resistant.
  • A Secondary Fluid Barrier (thermally sealed polyurethane) is placed beneath the outer cover to protect the inner foam core from moisture intrusion if the primary cover is compromised.
• Hygienic Design: The cover utilizes a heavy-duty zipper with a protective flap specifically designed to direct fluids away from the zipper area. Furthermore, the entire mattress is latex-free.

The cover features a dual-material construction specifically engineered for healthcare environments:

• The top surface is made from Nymed polyurethane-coated healthcare nylon (210 Denier), which is soft and non-brittle.
• The bottom is constructed with Vynmed healthcare polyurethane-coated vinyl.

These materials ensure the bed pad is fluid proof, anti-fungal, and stain resistant, promoting hygiene and ease of maintenance.

For enhanced durability and safety, the pad also includes:

• A heavy-duty zipper with an integrated fluid protection flap.
• A secondary thermally sealed polyurethane fluid barrier positioned beneath the outer cover to protect the foam core if the exterior layer is compromised.

The standard weight limit for this hospital bed pad is 300 lbs.

For patients requiring a higher capacity, an optional upgrade is available to increase the weight limit to 500 lbs (note that this upgrade is associated with an additional charge).

The General Hospital Bed Pad is available in two core configurations that differ primarily in their pressure relief technology:

• Advanced Care Configuration: This premium option is engineered for advanced pressure relief. It features a double thickness top layer of revolutionary Viscotech memory foam. This foam responds to body weight and temperature, molding precisely to the patient’s shape to evenly distribute weight and reduce stress on pressure points.
• Assure II Configuration: This standard option utilizes a robust, symmetrical foam layering system. It is constructed with high loft, convoluted foam on the top and bottom layers, surrounding a durable High Resiliency Center Core (1.8 density 45ILD) for reliable support and comfort.

Yes, the hospital bed pad is latex-free, but this feature is specifically confirmed for the Advanced Care mattress configuration. This ensures that the pad is suitable for use with patients who have latex sensitivities.

Yes, the FirmEdge passive restraint system is designed for enhanced stability and safety. It incorporates two 3-inch wide zones of ultra-firm foam into the perimeter of the mattress core.This structural reinforcement helps:

• Provide crucial structural integrity.
• Act as a passive restraint, helping to prevent the patient from accidentally rolling off the bed.

The hospital bed pad is offered in a wide range of sizes and thicknesses to accommodate various standard hospital beds. You can select from the following dimensions:

• Lengths: 80 inches or 84 inches
• Widths: 30”, 32”, 34”, 35”, and 36”
• Thicknesses: 5 inches or 6 inches

Specific configuration examples include 84” x 35” x 6” (Advanced Care core) or 80” x 30” (Assure II core).

Yes, the foam core includes integrated antimicrobial protection.

An antimicrobial additive is incorporated directly into the foam during manufacturing to enhance hygiene by inhibiting the growth of bacteria and other microorganisms within the mattress core.

In addition to this, the pad is entirely latex-free.

Yes, the General Hospital Bed Pad is engineered for superior fluid protection and infection control, making maintenance exceptionally easy.

Key protective features include:

• Fluid-Proof Cover: The durable, removable cover utilizes a Nymed polyurethane coated top (soft, anti-fungal, and stain resistant) and a Vynmed vinyl bottom. It is completely fluid proof.
• Secondary Fluid Barrier: A thermally sealed polyurethane fluid barrier is positioned between the outer cover and the foam core. This provides a crucial second layer of defense, protecting the core foam if the outer cover is compromised.
• Enhanced Hygiene: Both the cover system is anti-fungal and stain-resistant, and the foam core itself incorporates an antimicrobial additive during manufacturing for added hygiene.
