Frequently asked questions
Does this overlay help prevent pressure sores?
Yes. The convoluted ‘egg-crate’ foam design is specifically engineered to distribute body weight evenly, which helps reduce pressure on critical areas for patients at risk of developing decubitus ulcers.
Is this mattress overlay comfortable?
It is designed to enhance patient comfort by cradling the body. The textured surface promotes better air circulation, which prevents heat buildup and maintains a cooler environment for the user.
Can I wash the foam pad?
No, these overlays are not washable. They are intended for single-patient use and should be discarded according to facility guidelines once soiled or no longer needed.
Are these safe to use near heaters?
Please use caution. Keep the foam away from open flames and cigarettes, as the material burns rapidly and can release toxic fumes if ignited.
Are these suitable for home healthcare use?
Absolutely. While they are a professional-grade product often used in hospitals and nursing homes, they are an excellent choice for home healthcare settings to provide an additional layer of support on top of a standard mattress.
Can I use one overlay for multiple patients?
No, these are strictly for single patient use. Sharing the overlay between patients is not recommended due to hygiene and infection control standards.
Where are these mattress overlays manufactured?
These McKesson Brand mattress overlays are made in the USA, adhering to strict industry technical bulletins regarding material performance and fire safety.
Do these meet any fire safety standards?
Yes, this product is fully compliant with the Bureau of Electronic and Appliance Repair, Home Furnishings and Thermal Insulation Technical Bulletin 117-2013.
Does this require any assembly before use?
No, no assembly is required. The overlays come ready to use right out of the packaging; simply place the pad on top of your existing mattress.
Is the foam high quality?
Yes, it is constructed from high-quality, durable polyurethane foam designed to maintain its supportive structure while providing the necessary pressure redistribution required for bedside care.
