Dynamic matress system Bi-Wave Carer

Bi-Wave Carer: A Dynamic Mattress System for Optimal Pressure Ulcer Prevention

The Bi-Wave Carer from Pegasus Healthcare is a dynamic mattress system designed to meet the needs of high-risk patients, including those with pressure ulcers or requiring rigorous prevention. This innovative mattress uses a 12-minute dual-cell cycle technology that alternates pressure to provide effective and continuous relief. This feature is particularly important for patients with limited mobility, as it reduces static pressure points that can cause pressure ulcers.

The Bi-Wave Carer is equipped with an ultra-soft DARTEX™ cover, which minimises friction and shearing, while being breathable and easy to clean. The cover is also treated with ULTRA-FRESH™, an antimicrobial technology that helps prevent unpleasant odours. The system is designed to automatically adapt to the patient's weight and position, ensuring optimal comfort in all circumstances.

One of the key advantages of the Bi-Wave Carer is its universal compatibility with contoured and domestic beds, making it ideal for use in hospitals or at home. The mattress is also equipped with inflatable borders that provide additional safety and facilitate patient transfer from the bed to a chair. The patient management system is ergonomic and easy to use, with visual and audible alarms for enhanced monitoring.

In the event of a power failure, the mattress remains inflated for at least 24 hours, ensuring patient safety. The Bi-Wave Carer is also equipped with a rapid deflation function for emergency situations, such as cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR).

The Bi-Wave Carer is ideal for high-risk patients who may need to be repositioned. The Bi-Wave Carer is a reliable and effective choice for pressure ulcer prevention and management, offering maximum comfort and optimal safety for patients.
