Invacare MA50CE mattress

The MA50CE compressor has solenoid valve technology that seals the air inside the overlay during a power outage protecting the patient from bottoming out onto the mattress as long as the air hose and pump remain attached. The battery back up in the pump retains the setting memory so that when the power returns, the overlay also returns to its settings. These features again provide patient safety and provide assurance to the carer.

The cells alternate in a one up one down pattern to relieve pressure and encourage tissue cell and blood movement. The air cells are easily accessible and quick and straightforward to replace individually. They are made of high quality materials to prevent drying out.

Elasticated securing straps are in place at the head end and foot end of the overlay to secure the overlay to the foam under mattress. For additional security there are two buckle straps which can also be used to role and transport the overlay.

The new Dartex cover is made from 2 way stretch polyurethane material (to reduce shear and friction) which is Halogen and Bromine free. This new technology also offers greater longevity as the material offers better protection against cleaning. The cover is vapour permeable, completely removable for laundering and can be washed up to 95°C.

When the manual fowler is activated, 25% more air is automatically pushed into the mattress to protect the patient from bottoming out when the bed is profiled.

Four therapy times (5, 10, 15 or 20 minutes) can be adjusted for patient comfort to provide pressure relief. Static and alternating modes are also available options.
