Effective, proven prevention & therapy Virtuoso with 3 cell technology provides the benefits of “Zero Pressure” for maximum prevention and “Regular application and removal of pressure” for maximum therapy. The 7.5 minute cell cycle simulates the body’s normal response to pressure for natural protection. [01]  ZERo pREssuRE Kosiak1 studied the link between pressure and time showing that even very low pressure can lead to tissue damage. He concluded that since it is impossible to completely eliminate all pressure for a long period of time, it becomes imperative that the pressure be completely...

Effectiveness of an active system is a key issue in dealing with pressure  sores. carers should be well aware of what equipment they are using  and should put their patient solely on proven therapy products.  [03]  3 cEll tEcHnologY [a, B, c] the patient body weight is distributed evenly across  two thirds of the surface thus allowing the mattress  to be soft and comfortable without compromising its  clinical outcome. moreover, since only one third of  the surface is active at a time (inflating/deflating) it      provides optimum stable support to the body enabling ...
