Invacare is known worldwide for manufacturing premium mobility aids but the company hasn't restricted itself to manufacturing just mobility products, there are various line of products being manufactured by them. A wide range of patient care products are designed and manufactured by Invacare to make both patients and care takers life easier. Various wound care aids, therapeutic support surfaces, and cushions, and backs are available to choose as per one's need and medical condition.
Invacare Gel Foam Mattress Overlay, a therapeutic support surface, is a very popular patient care product as it helps in the prevention and treatment of pressure ulcers, which are very common in bed-ridden patients. This overlay comes in three modalities, such as alternating pressure overlays, gel overlays, and foam mattress replacements, and hence individuals can choose the one that best for their needs. People opt for this Gel Foam Mattress Overlay not just because it is easy to use but it take less time and effort for maintenance as well.
About the features of Invacare's Gel Foam Mattress Overlay, to ensure maximum comfort to users it integrates large 2" thick gel bladders inside polyurethane foam. As the gel stays under the patient and doesn't move away from the pressure point possibilities of pressure sores occurring are reduced to a larger extent. With its reversible option, this Invacare overlay guarantees extended service life. It comes with a durable base material, and to prevent the movement of overlay, strong elastic corner straps are included. This overlay's cover is water-resistant, vapour permeable, and has low friction, so users are ensured of maximum comfort. And, it contains no latex, so those who are allergic to latex protein can use this overlay fearlessly. Weight of this Gel Foam Mattress Overlay is 55 lbs, and it can handle a maximum weight of 250 lbs.
As said earlier, Gel Foam Mattress Overlay is an ideal aid to prevent pressure sores, but if a patient has symptoms of bed sores while he/she is transferred onto this overlay then wound draining aids become vital. Invacare Oil Emulsion Dressing, non-adhesive petrolatum dressing, can be relied upon in such circumstances. Made from knitted mesh fabric and impregnated with a blend of mineral oil and USP white petrolatum, it can be used to drain exudate from any wound, say skin ulcers, burns, ER abrasions and lacerations, infected areas, suture lines, episiotomies, circumcisions, and delicate plastic surgery as well. This dressing can also protect bedding from being soiled as exudate from the wound is optimally drained.
Both these patient care supplies make life of bed-confined people less complicated, hence worth buying.
