SoftCloud PRO

Established alternating pressure technology

The Softcloud PRO is a mattress replacement system constructed of air cells that gently alternate to disperse unwanted pressure. Recommended for individuals at high risk of pressure injury development, it has a 10 minute cycle (1 in 3 cycle) and permanently inflated static air side walls to offer firm side support with semi stable transfer platform. It also includes a special heel section for delicate heels and 3 static head cells to provide full comfort.

Intuitive control units

The SoftCloud control units benefit from an intuitive display which can be used to adjust comfort levels by providing either a 1 in 2 or 1 in 3 alternating pressure mode along with a static option.

Furthermore, an auto detect feature allows the control unit to automatically sense pressure from the body and adjust the pressure level accordingly. The control units feature both visual and audio alarms, which will activate in the event of low pressure or power failure and benefit from an alarm mute and panel lock function for ease of cleaning.

Transportation mode

A transportation clip can be attached to the hose to ensure consistent cell inflation during transport.

Prevention and management of pressure injuries

Established alternating pressure technology is recommended for round the-clock prevention and management of pressure injuries, when combined with an individualised monitoring, repositioning and wound care programme.

Healthcare professionals often encounter situations where a individual may not be able to tolerate, or have access to, frequent repositioning. In these circumstances, the EPUAP recommends using an active support system as part of a pressure injury prevention or management plan.

The Invacare SoftCloud™ mattresses and overlay are a range of high quality active support surfaces, designed for individuals at ‘Very High Risk’ of developing pressure injuries. The alternating pressure within Invacare’s SoftCloud range has been designed to mimic the natural protective environment of regular spontaneous movement, by redistributing pressure several times each hour, even if the individual does not move.

Essential nursing care is pivotal in pressure ulcer prevention. This mattress will positively contribute to the outcome of a pressure ulcer prevention care plan. Education, clinical judgment and action based planning based on vulnerability are fundamental factors in the prevention of pressure ulcers. A range of assessment scales can be used as a formal method of assessing risk from pressure ulcer development, and should be used in conjunction with an informal assessment (informed nursing judgment).

Being heavily over weight makes almost every daily task a challenge. Mobility can be profoundly impaired making getting out of bed or even bathing and hygiene almost impossible to do independently.
