The Ultra-Care Excel is a unique combination mattress system for the management and treatment of pressure ulcers and bed sores. Offering both an alternating pressure mode and low air loss, the system features 20 rows of air cells 5" high on a 3" integrated foam base for additional protection should there be a loss of power. That's a full 8" of therapeutic support. In addition to the alternating pressure mode, the included static mode option provides a firm surface when needed. The ventilated nylon-polyurethane air cells are easy to disconnect, reliable and durable. The air cells also allow for quick disconnection, which permit easy cell replacement, and which allow any area of the mattress to be deflated and be zero pressure without affecting alternating benefits. As an added safety measure, the head of the mattress features CPR quick deflate cells. Each of the cells offer a variable pressure setting for maximum comfort. The mattress has a weight capacity of 325 lbs. Please note, this is the mattress only. Air pump and mattress cover are available separately. At 80" long, the mattress will fit on most average bed frames. Weighing only 13 lbs., the mattress is easy to relocate, making it ideal for multi-user environments. Ventilated air cells provide a microclimate that reduces moisture. Regardless of the operating mode, the mattress maintains the low air loss benefit. Cells are easily cleaned with a soft cloth and warm soapy water.
