Rating of the best anti-decubitus mattresses for 2022

In bedridden patients, bedsores appear on some parts of the body subject to constant pressure. Skin lesions are sometimes very dangerous. The most frequently stressed parts of the body are the sacrum, coccyx, hip joint, ischial bones, occiput, ribs. In such cases, special therapy is required. In a neglected state, complications may occur. Suppuration and stench appear in infected wounds. Choosing the right mattress is essential to get the most out of patient care. One of the main troubles can be ordinary sheets that form folds or a constantly knocking mattress. Specially designed mattresses give a great effect in treatment. And this, according to doctors, is not a marketing ploy, but quite an effective tool. In most cases, an anti-decubitus mattress consists of flexible and elastic elements, which are inflated alternately with air through a compressor.

Criterias of choice

When choosing a model, its purpose should be taken into account. For example, static models with filler are used for prevention. If bedsores already exist, then in order to treat them and prevent the appearance of new ones, it is recommended to opt for dynamic compressor products. Cellular mattresses are more suitable for bedridden patients who rarely get out of bed with mild to moderate pressure sores. For completely immobilized patients who have severe bedsores, you need to purchase balloon models.

The dimensions of the mattresses should correspond to the dimensions of the patient's bed. A mismatch in size leads to a violation of air circulation and, at the same time, incorrect use of the mattress can lead to adverse effects and inconvenience.

Another important aspect when choosing is the material of the product. The most common materials for the manufacture of mattresses are polyurethane foam and polyvinyl chloride. They are easy to clean and dry quickly.

With a strong sweating of the patient, products with airflow are recommended. To do this, a compressor must be included in the package. It must meet the following requirements - noiselessness and duration of operation from the date of purchase. There are noise standards. Products are allowed for sale, for which this value lies in the range from 5 to 10 dB. There are also programs to support the compressor.The patient experiences maximum comfort using a multifunctional mattress with the option of a static mode.

Another characteristic is the pressure in the cells, cells or cylinder pipes, the setting of the cycle change time.

The manufacturer plays an important role.

In the Russian market, products for the care of bedridden patients and the treatment of bedsores from such manufacturers are popular: Armed, Hilbert, Bronigen, Mega-Optim, Novea, Trive.

Good anti-decubitus systems should have a blowing function. What is it for. Patients with a large weight sweat intensely, this is especially true in hot weather. The bed gets wet, and with high humidity, bedsores form even more intensively, wound healing slows down. The blower function helps to reduce sweating. On the surface of the mats there are many small holes made by a laser. Through them the body is blown by microcurrents of air. They are very weak, so it is impossible to catch a cold from such a movement. But these measures are enough to save the patient from skin damage.

Definitely, when deciding which mattress is better to buy, one should take into account the recommendations of doctors and the opinion of users who already have experience in caring for immobilized patients.
