For a decade, hospitals and nursing homes found foam mattresses were a better choice than the now obsolete innerspring mattress. Customers also realize that dynamic air mattresses are still necessary for advanced stage wound treatment due to their conforming and pressure distribution advantages. Unfortunately, to make air reactive to patient movement requires expensive and complicated powered air systems.
Hence, most customers routinely buy foam mattresses for prevention and then rent powered air systems for wound treatment. AME is proudly leading the charge to eventually make preventative foam mattresses next in obsolescence with our introduction of the LTC40 System. |
