Apex Domus 4 Pressure Relief Alternating Air Mattress Replacement System

When patients are at significant risk of pressure sore development, complete replacement mattresses that feature alternating air therapy must be used, but these can often be prohibitively expensive. The Apex Domus 4 Pressure Relief Alternating Air Mattress Replacement System is designed to provide high levels of support and relief, and includes features that are normally only found in much higher specification mattresses. This mattress allows for easy control by carer with its intuitive weight settings, and is an ideal cost-effective option for those at high risk of pressure sore development.

Range of Cell Modes

The Domus 4 Mattress is equipped with a multitude of different modes of operation, making it highly capable for its price. These modes include:

• Alternating Therapeutic Mode: Continuously and sequentially inflates and deflates air cells for excellent pressure redistribution
• Seat Inflate Mode: Increases pressure when patient is sitting upright to provide ideal support for the sacral area
• Max Firm Mode: Hyper inflates all cells to provide a stable surface for transfers and other nursing procedures. This mode will revert back to Alternating Therapeutic Mode after 20 minutes for patient safety.
• Static Mode: An immersion process that addresses areas of especially high contact pressure. By reducing one third pressure across the entire surface of the mattress, body mass is redistributed over a greater surface.

Cell-on-Cell Design

This mattress is designed with cell-on-cell construction, providing patients with high levels of support and comfort throughout the alternating air cycle. Each cell is independently removable with a modular design, allowing for effective infection control and hygiene maintenance.

The Domus 4’s modular cell-on-cell design provides better support and easier infection control

Pump Fault Alarms

The pump of this mattress is equipped with a number of alarms to enhance patient safety, including low pressure, power failure and service fault indications. These alarms sound to immediately alert the caregiver of any problems, allowing them to quickly respond to remedy the situation. A lock out mode is also included, helping to prevent any unwanted tampering or setting changes.

Vapour-Permeable Cover

To enhance both infection control and patient comfort, the Domus 4 is supplied with a vapour permeable, water resistant, four-way stretch cover. This cover protects the mattress while helping to reduce shear and friction forces on the patient, and is designed with a white underside to make detection of strike through simple.
