OpalAir Low Air Loss Mattress

The OpalAir is designed as a full featured therapeutic surface to meet the needs of high risk complex clients. Using the same intuitive controls and therapies as the Palm it offers a higher air flow rate to reduce moisture and humidity promoting a healing environment.
‍
It's deep cell design facilitates maximum immersion and offloading to reduce pressure on areas of high risk of skin breakdown. The OpalAir has clinical features to reduce agitation while enhancing skin protection and comfort to promote an environment conducive to restorative sleep and healing.

Clinical Features

Alternating Pressure Therapy

1-in-3 air cells gently inflate and deflate to enhance pressure redistribution and promote blood flow to high-risk tissues allowing greater oxygenation and healing. ‘SmoothCell’ technology facilitates gentle cell movement and ensures clients remain stable and unaffected by the surface movement.

True Low Air Loss Therapy

Continuous high air flow controls microclimate (temperature and humidity) suitable to promote wound healing.

'Auto-Detect'

Auto-Detect’ technology automatically calibrates optimal pressure based on bodyweight and surface area. This improves the efficiency of set-up, reducing the need for on-going caregiver adjustments.

Additional Clinical Features

'Auto-Fowler'

Automatic increase of air to sacral/pelvic area when bedhead is raised to reduce risk of bottoming-out and ensure protection for high-risk bony areas.

Cool/Warm Air function

Allows clients to maintain a comfortable temperature to promote acceptance of the surface and enhance restorative sleep.

Therapeutic Modes

Alternating Pressure Therapy

1-in-3 air cells gently inflate and deflate to promote safe offloading of pressure while maintaining sufficient body contact to reduce risk of peak pressures. Cells alternate slowly to ensure clients remain stable and unaffected by the surface movement. The 'SmoothCell' design promotes gentle cell movement reducing shear and friction.

Pulsate Therapy

Promotes increased capillary blood flow enhancing circulation and oxygenation delivery to compromised tissues, essential for wound healing.

Constant Low Pressure  (CLP) Therapy

Air cells maintain at a lower pressure to allow greater body immersion. This constant level of air promotes pressure redistribution and reduction of peak pressures for frail, palliative or hypersensitive clients who cannot tolerate cell movement.
