Who can use the Ares 4D Air Pressure Relief Overlay?
The Ares 4D Air Pressure Mattress Overlay is suitable for individuals at medium to high risk of pressure sores. It features a digital pump for greater pressure control. The pump allows the level of alternating pressure relief to be adjusted to the best level required for the user.
How does the Ares 4D Air work?
The air cells within the Ares 4D Air Mattress Overlay are designed to provide optimal airflow within the mattress. This maximises the efficacy of alternating therapy. The mattress overlay can also be used for continuous low-pressure therapy, improving patient comfort.
How does alternating therapy work?
The alternating air therapy setting of the Ares 4D Air Overlay works by inflating and deflating the air cells in sequence. This helps to mimic natural sleep, improving circulation and helping to avoid long-term pressurisation of tissue.
Is the Ares 4D Air suitable for static use?
Yes, the Ares 4D Air Pressure Mattress Overlay can be used for constant low-pressure use in static mode. This reduces pressure by a third from alternating pressure relief and helps to boost patient comfort.
How comfortable is the Ares 4D Air?
The Ares 4D Air Pressure Relief Overlay with good ventilation reduces heat and moisture. This helps to boost patient comfort in addition to pressure relief.
How hygienic is Ares 4D Air?
The Ares 4D Air Overlay is a hygienic option for pressure management with a vapour-permeable cover. It is also water-repellent. This helps to keep the overlay protected in case of liquid spills or splashes.
How safe is the pressure mattress overlay?
The Ares 4D Air Overlay has been designed to ensure patient safety. It features a panel lock to prevent unauthorised changes to the pressure level. It also has alarms for power failure and low pressure. The CPR strap on the side of the mattress allows the mattress to be quickly deflated in case of emergency while also designed to prevent accidental triggering. The cover of the overlay is fire-resistant for added safety.
Is the mattress overlay easy to store?
The Ares 4D Air Overlay is easy to store when not in use. It features a side buckle so that the mattress can be rolled up and secured for storage.
A word about preventing pressure ulcers
It can be difficult to prevent pressure ulcers completely, but there are some things you or your care team can do to reduce the risk.
These include:
- Regularly changing your position – if you’re unable to change position yourself, a relative or carer will need to help you
- Checking your skin every day for early signs and symptoms of pressure ulcers – this will be done by your care team if you’re in a hospital or care home
- Have a healthy, balanced diet that contains enough protein and a good variety of vitamins and minerals – if you’re concerned about your diet or caring for someone whose diet may be poor, ask your GP or healthcare team for a referral to a dietitian
- Stopping smoking – smoking makes you more likely to get pressure ulcers because of the damage caused to blood circulation
If you’re in a hospital or care home, your healthcare team should be aware of the risk of developing pressure ulcers. They should carry out a risk assessment, monitor your skin and use preventative measures, such as regular repositioning.
