Frequently asked questions
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).
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.”
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.
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 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.
How does the convertible system simplify logistics and reduce costs?
The Lumex Select Convertible Mattress significantly simplifies patient care logistics and helps reduce operational costs by serving as a comprehensive, dual-purpose pressure management solution. It is designed to eliminate the need for several external costs and logistical hurdles, including: * Eliminating Rentals and Storage: You avoid the cost and logistical complexity of renting or storing separate specialized mattresses for alternating pressure therapy. * Streamlining Transport: Caregivers do not need to move or transport mattresses between rooms as patient requirements change, thanks to the easy conversion process. * Replacing Overlays: It provides high-quality pressure displacement, eliminating dependency on potentially ineffective low-profile overlays that may lack adequate support for advanced pressure ulcer treatment (Stage I through IV).
What protective materials enclose the specialized cylinders?
The eight non-circular cylinders in the Lumex Select Mattress are fully enclosed to maintain structural integrity. They are contained within a fiber mesh sleeve and jacket. This design actively prevents surface issues such as rolling or gapping during use.
