Graham-Field Lumex Lightest Foam/Gel Overlay

Yes, the Graham-Field Lumex Overlay is specifically engineered for superior pressure management and effective weight dispersion, setting a new standard for comfort.

Its effectiveness comes from a unique, multi-layered design:

• Solid Gel Technology: It incorporates an inherently visco-elastic Solid Gel patterned layer that deforms slightly under pressure to efficiently disperse critical weight.
• Non-Migrating Gel: The gel is non-aqueous and guaranteed not to migrate, pool, or leak, ensuring stable and consistent pressure relief across all bed positions.
• Layered Support: The system features a durable, high-density 2-inch solid foam base, topped with a specially designed 1-inch convoluted foam layer to maximize comfort and therapeutic efficacy.

Additionally, the protective cover is fluid resistant, anti-bacterial, and anti-fungal, meeting the CAL 117 flammability standard.

Yes, the Graham-Field Lumex Overlay uses sophisticated, multi-layer technology for superior pressure management and comfort.

Here is how it works:

• Solid Gel Technology: It features an integrated, inherently visco-elastic solid gel layer embedded within the foam base. This gel actively deforms under pressure to disperse critical body weight across a wider surface area, significantly reducing body interface pressure at critical points.
• Non-Migrating Design: The solid gel is non-aqueous, meaning it is engineered to prevent migration, pooling, or leakage. This ensures the overlay remains fully effective and stable regardless of the bed position or patient movement.
• Enhanced Foam Structure: The system utilizes a 2-inch high-density foam base for foundational support, topped by a specialized 1-inch convoluted foam layer designed to maximize comfort and work synergistically with the gel for optimal pressure distribution.

Yes, this mattress overlay is ideal for environments requiring advanced pressure redistribution for patient comfort and skin protection. It is frequently used in both:

• Clinical Healthcare Settings (like hospitals and nursing homes)
• Home Healthcare Settings

Its protective cover is well-suited for professional medical use, as it is fluid resistant and includes anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties.

Yes, the gel in the Graham-Field Lumex Lightest Foam/Gel Overlay is designed to be non-migrating and non-aqueous. This advanced construction ensures the gel stays precisely in place without pooling or leaking, providing consistent pressure distribution and comfort over time.

Yes, the cover is designed for high standards of clinical hygiene and safety, ensuring durability and easy maintenance. It protects the multi-layered foam and gel structure.

The key protective features of the cover include:

• Hygienic Protection: It is anti-bacterial and anti-fungal, which helps inhibit the growth of microorganisms.
• Fluid Resistance: The cover is fluid resistant, effectively protecting the foam and gel core from spills and moisture.
• Safety Compliance: The material complies with the CAL 117 flammability standards.

Yes, the Graham-Field Lumex overlay is encased in a durable, protective cover designed for rigorous clinical environments and long-term hygiene. The cover features robust properties:

• Fluid Resistance: Prevents moisture and spills from penetrating the core foam and gel layers.
• Hygienic Protection: The material is engineered to be both anti-bacterial and anti-fungal, promoting a clean support surface.
• Safety Standard: The cover is compliant with the necessary CAL 117 flammability standards.

Yes, the gel layer in the Lumex overlay is specifically engineered to provide consistent and reliable pressure management throughout the entire lifespan of the product. This stability is a major benefit achieved through the unique material design, which ensures reliable pressure dispersion:

• Solid, Non-Migrating Gel: The gel is non-aqueous and built into a solid patterned layer within the foam base. This design is crucial because it prevents common issues seen with liquid gels, such as migration, pooling, or leaking.
• Visco-Elastic Dispersion: The solid gel functions visco-elastically, meaning it deforms slightly to uniformly disperse critical weight over a large surface area. This ensures stable pressure reduction regardless of the user’s position on the bed.

The Graham-Field Lumex Lightest Foam/Gel Overlay is offered in three dimensions (Width x Length x Thickness) to accommodate various bed sizes:

• 36 x 80 x 3 inches
• 36 x 84 x 3 inches
• 42 x 80 x 4 inches

For the 3-inch overlays, the structure consists of a 2-inch high-density foam base and a 1-inch convoluted top layer, engineered for superior comfort and pressure management.

Yes, the Graham-Field Lumex Foam/Gel Overlay is specifically designed with an extremely light-weight construction.

This focus on lightness minimizes handling difficulty and offers practical advantages:

• Easier Positioning: The minimal weight simplifies handling for caregivers during setup and repositioning.
• Reduced Logistics Costs: It helps reduce overall shipping costs.

Despite its lightweight design, it maintains advanced pressure management standards by integrating a stable, solid, non-migrating gel layer within a high-density foam base.
