How pressure care works
The ActiveX™ mattresses are heat and pressure sensitive: as temperature rises, the foam softens.
When a pressure point develops (often becoming hot and inflamed), that area of the mattress softens,
helping restore blood flow.
Pressure care
- Average peak pressure rating of <24 mmHg.
- For some high-risk clients, Icare Zerotec covers are recommended.
Risk category basis
Icare risk categories are based on:
- Average peak pressure
- Therapist recommendation
- Case studies
- Industry comparison
- Waterlow scale
The best way to assess a client on a pressure reducing surface is to monitor pressure points with visual checks over a period of 5 days.
