The Dyna-Form® Mercury Advance is a dynamic mattress replacement system combined with the benefits of modern foam technology. It is specifically designed for patients considered to be at ‘Very High Risk’ of pressure ulcer development. Offering high levels of patient comfort, this unique system has the facility to ‘step up’ to that of a dynamic mattress when clinically required. Similarly, the mattress function can be ‘stepped down’ as the patient’s condition improves.
These features make it particularly beneficial for use within the patient’s home or palliative care environment and help reduce logistic and decontamination costs. The clinical benefits of a single system are equally applicable to those of a modern hospital setting. The mattress can be used in both non-powered and powered mode. When using in non-powered more, advanced air displacement technology will continuously optimise pressure redistribution in response to the service users body weight and movement. Whilst in powered mode it will deliver a pressure relief via connected alternating foam and air cells.
A higher maximum weight capacity, up to 40 stone / 254kg, allows the product to meet the challenges of heavier patients.
All component parts are interchangeable and replaceable, maximising product life and reducing environmental impact. The outer cover comprising a high frequency welded, multi stretch and vapour permeable Dartex fabric satisfies the strictest infection control policies.
