Extremely!
At MacMed Healthcare we are committed to the prevention of pressure injury and a big part of managing pressure care is matching the right pressure care surface to the client’s needs. It is important to beware of the “one size fits all” claims of some mattress manufacturers, because in our opinion it is impossible for a frail adult or typical paediatric client weighing less than 60 kg to achieve optimal pressure care on a static mattress that is weight rated for a patient up to 200+ kgs.
For this reason we produce 5 different pressure care mattress models, designed for different patient sizes
All of our mattresses are safety rated to allow for any size individual, and will provide pressure care benefits, however to achieve optimal pressure care we recommend considering the Platinum Plus or Bariatric model where appropriate.
When considering which mattress to choose, it is important to factor in weight distribution. An individual in the normal or overweight BMI with a disproportionately large mid-section may be more suited to a Bariatric mattress.
Absolutely yes!
The three golden rules of relieving pressure are MOVE, MOVE, MOVE! The patient should be encouraged to re-position as often a possible and assisted with this if there is any difficulty.
The best thing you can do to relieve pressure points is to change position frequently. However, for high risk patients you should also consider the use of additional equipment to further reduce pressure (Repose, Dermis Plus) completely offload anatomical risk areas (Repose, Macmed wedges) and reduce shear and friction on the skin (Parafricta)
Macmed mattresses are currently among the most chemically resistant pressure care surfaces available. Suitable to be surface sanitised many times over with a wide range of commonly used hospital grade sanitisers including:
All Macmed Mattresses have a 2 part waterproof, breathable, cover and non-slip, vinyl base joined together with a 360 waterproof zip with waterfall flap covering and fully HF welded seams making it impermeable to fluids and micro debris. The interior mattress foams are also treated with UltraFresh, which is an internationally renowned, antimicrobial which inhibits the growth of bacteria and fungi.
