Features of the Optima

Patented double-cell structure.
Large contact area.
Reduces interface pressure and tissue strain to a minimum in all user positions.
Separate cell systems react to body part weight, profile and position - distributing the load over the whole surface.
The tunnel shaped pre-filled upper cells adapt exactly to different body contours.
The inner cells are inter-connected to form 3 adjustable zones.
Zones are monitored by a pressure sensor which responds to user movement.
The computerised Controller automatically and precisely adjusts cell pressures - regardless of user weight.
Simple to use Controller - compact, light and quiet in operation.
Pump operates only on demand.
Built in battery for continued use during user transfers.
Incorporates CPR facility as standard.
Incontinence cover supplied as standard.
Individual cells are easy to replaceable.

"The Optima Speciality Support System effectively reduces the pressure between the user and the support surface according to studies conducted by Takala & Soppi (2004)* and White et al (2007)*. This translates clinically into prevention of ulceration in acute respiritory failure (Takala & Soppi 1996)* and, in our ongoing evaluations, pain relief and improved sleep in a variety of chronic disorders.

Following equalisation of the mattress, over a 16 minute cycle, a massive 43% reduction in pressure was recorded - down from 39mmHg to 22mmHg."
