Signa Relief Alternating Pressure With Low Air Loss Support Surface (IPS Technology) is a Powered Pressure-reducing Air Mattress.
INTENDED USES: To aid in the prevention and treatment of Stage I – IV pressure ulcers (E0277).
CLAIMED FEATURES: The Intelligent Pressure Sensing Technology ensures maximum pressure relief and incredible clinical results. The mattress is configured of 20 deep air cells with support which maximizes surface contact area and weight distribution. Alternating Pressure relief massages the epidermis while continuously changing contact points with the skin’s surface to provide ultra low pressure to over 50% of the surface area. Ultra low pressure helps support healthy blood flow, tissue oxygenation, and nutrient and waste exchange. The system contains low air loss for heat and moisture displacement. The pump has an easy-to-use push button control panel to adjust individual patient’s weight to ensure comfort and to aid caregivers.

Pressure reducing support surfaces are a type of medical equipment used for the care of pressure sores, also known as pressure ulcers or injuries. Pressure ulcers are lesions caused by constant pressure on areas in contact with the mattress, resulting in damage of skin and deep tissues.

Some pressure reducing mattresses are powered by electricity (known as powered pressure-reducing air mattresses) and others are not. They replace a standard hospital or home mattress and are either integrated to or placed on a hospital bed frame. Powered pressure reducing mattresses have a surface designed to reduce friction and shear through technologies know as alternating pressure, low air loss, or powered flotation without low air loss. They have a pump or blower which provides either sequential inflation and deflation of the air cells or a low interface pressure throughout the mattress. They are indicated for persons with deeper pressure ulcers (stage II, III or IV) or after surgery, for persons who received a flap or skin graft to cover a wound.
