Introduction
The Softform® Bariatric mattress is designed to provide exceptional pressure redistribution for plus size patients, particularly those with a BMI over 40. It is manufactured to European Standards, ensuring safety and quality.

Pressure Injury Prevention
Essential nursing care is crucial in preventing pressure injuries. The mattress contributes positively to pressure injury prevention plans, emphasizing the importance of education, clinical judgment, and action-based planning. Both formal and informal assessments are recommended to evaluate risk.

Protection and Comfort Features

• Multi-stretch, breathable, waterproof cover with corner welds to prevent dust and liquid accumulation.
• High-frequency welded seams protect the core from contamination.
• The base is made from toughened PU coated material to extend mattress life.
• Vapor permeable fabric allows skin to breathe, reducing skin damage from sweating.

Integrated Glide System
The mattress features a 'glide' design with a split section at the backrest, conforming effectively with profiling beds. This reduces unwanted patient movement, minimizing tissue damage from shear and friction forces.

Castellated Top Surface
The specialist cut foam distributes pressure evenly, reducing the risk of pressure injuries. The hinged backrest section aids patients with breathing difficulties who struggle to lie flat.
