Description

The LUMEX Select Convertible Mattress provides outstanding pressure displacement and redistribution to assist in the prevention and treatment of stage I through IV pressure ulcers. Features: • Closed System (Static Air) can quickly convert to an Alternating Pressure Mattress • Eight non-circular cylinders prevent ";rolling"; or ";gapping";* and are fully enclosed in a fiber mesh sleeve and jacket • Air control unit is simple, quiet and set at the optimum 10 minute cycle to eliminate guesswork for the caregiver • 2.5"; Hybrid Visco-elastic top layer does not raise body heat as with standard visco-elastic foam • Stretch cover is fluid resistant, air-permeable (breathable) and reduces friction and patient shear Use of the Lumex Select Convertible will eliminate the need for: • costly rental and storage of mattresses that are only used on an as needed basis • moving and transporting mattresses from room to room • overlays that are low in profile and do not provide adequate support or therapeutic benefit

Frequently asked questions

What is the convertible system's main benefit?
The Lumex Select Convertible Mattress is designed to provide **versatile therapeutic options** by easily switching between two crucial pressure management modes: Static Air and Alternating Pressure. This dual-mode capability provides several key benefits for caregivers and patients:

* **Versatility in Care:** It operates initially as a Closed System (Static Air) and can be quickly converted to an Alternating Pressure Mattress as therapeutic needs evolve (for pressure ulcer prevention and treatment, Stage I through IV).
* **Equipment Consolidation:** Utilizing this system eliminates the need for managing multiple specialized mattresses. You avoid costly rentals, storing specialized equipment, or using low-profile overlays that may lack adequate support.
What pressure ulcer stages does this mattress address?
This mattress system is specifically designed for the comprehensive **prevention and treatment** of pressure ulcers, effectively addressing the full spectrum of severity from Stage I through Stage IV. It achieves this through outstanding pressure displacement and redistribution capabilities, along with its dual-mode operation (Static Air to Alternating Pressure).
What mattress features ensure patient comfort?
The Graham-Field Lumex Select Convertible Mattress is designed with multiple features to enhance patient comfort and skin safety:

* **Temperature Regulation:** It uses a **2.5" Hybrid Visco-elastic top layer** that is specifically designed not to raise body heat, unlike standard visco-elastic foam.
* **Protective Cover:** The specialized stretch cover is both **fluid resistant** and **air-permeable (breathable)**, which actively reduces friction and patient shear forces.
* **Surface Integrity:** The internal structure uses eight non-circular cylinders enclosed in a mesh sleeve and jacket, preventing "rolling" or "gapping" for a stable, consistent therapeutic surface.
Is the air control unit quiet and simple to operate?
Yes, the air control unit is noted for its **simple and quiet operation**. It utilizes a fixed, clinically optimized **10-minute cycle** to simplify setup and eliminate guesswork for caregivers.
How does the mattress prevent gapping or rolling?
The Lumex Select Mattress is specifically engineered to maintain surface integrity and enhance patient safety through its internal construction. The design features that prevent gapping or rolling include: * **Eight non-circular cylinders:** The unique, non-circular shape of the cylinders actively works against surface shifting. * **Full Enclosure:** These cylinders are fully contained within a protective **fiber mesh sleeve and jacket**. This advanced, combined structure is designed to effectively prevent common issues like patient "rolling" or surface "gapping."
Is the mattress cover fluid-resistant and breathable?
Yes, the Lumex Select mattress includes a high-quality stretch cover designed for patient safety and comfort. It is both **fluid-resistant** and **air-permeable (breathable)**. This specialized cover helps maintain a hygienic environment while also actively reducing **friction and patient shear forces**, which are critical factors in preventing skin breakdown and pressure ulcers.
Does the air control unit use an optimum cycle time?
**Yes, the air control unit operates on an optimum, pre-set 10-minute cycle.** This design ensures consistent pressure redistribution when using the alternating pressure function and helps to minimize guesswork for the caregiver.
Which settings benefit from this pressure mattress system?
This convertible mattress system is engineered for comprehensive pressure management across several patient care environments, including:

* **Clinical Settings** (hospitals, acute care facilities)
* **Long-Term Care Facilities** (nursing homes, rehab centers)
* **Home-Based Medical Settings**

It is specifically designed for the prevention and treatment of pressure ulcers (Stage I through IV) for patients with limited mobility.
