Designed for patients vulnerable to pressure injuries, the Ares 8 Alternating Pressure Redistribution Air Mattress Replacement System helps prevent pressure sores. The air pump allows you to select two different modes: in alternating mode, this pressure redistribution air mattress can continuously and sequentially inflate air cells to achieve periodic pressure relief, while in static mode, it inflates all the air cells equally for a static mattress surface, allowing caregivers to conduct nursing activities.
What’s the difference between the two cover options?
There are two different coverings available for the same price. Please select the desired option from the drop-down menu above. The two options are:
The nylon polyurethane cover is quilted for patient comfort and can effectively wick away moisture from the surface to aid in microclimate management. It can be washed at 60°C
The 4-way stretch polyurethane cover, which is highly elastic, offers reduced friction and minimises shear force. It can be washed at 95°C
Key benefits and features of the Ares 8 Air Mattress Replacement System
It prevents the formation of bedsores and provides exceptional levels of comfort
The quick connector between the mattress and air filter comes with a cap for sealing the pressure during transport, providing a stable patient transportation surface for up to 8 hours
The antimicrobial filter removes bacteria and viruses from the air that is used to inflate the air cells
Considerably low-pressure range applied to the patient, from 30 to 60 mmHg in both therapy modes
Provides a constantly comfortable perception while still retaining sufficient support for the patient
Flame retardant materials help improve fire safety
The CPR strap allows you to deflate the mattress in the event of an emergency rapidly
Air cells are 8″ long for better immersion and enhanced pressure care performance
A low-pressure alarm warns you with a visual LED alert if there are any problems such as disconnections or leaks
What material is the Ares 8 Air Mattress Replacement System made from?
The air cells are constructed from durable, lightweight nylon polyurethane material with high resistance to mechanical tears
All materials are compatible with REACH and RoHS standards
Who can benefit from the Pressure Redistribution System?
The Pressure Redistribution System primarily helps people who are at risk of developing bedsores, otherwise known as pressure ulcers
It’s estimated that close to half a million people in the UK will develop a pressure ulcer in any given year
5% of people who are admitted to hospital with a sudden illness will develop a pressure ulcer
People over 70 years old are particularly vulnerable to pressure ulcers, as they are more likely to have mobility problems and ageing skin
How reliable is the Ares Air Mattress Replacement System at redistributing pressure?
This mattress replacement system was tested using the Pressure Redistribution Index, while in alternating mode, it was under 32mmHg for 100% for the entire 30-minute period. Even in static mode, the Pressure Redistribution Index remained below 60mmHg. In simpler terms, this product is superb at redistributing pressure to prevent bedsores and other pressure-related injuries. 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.
