What is the risk of the user developing pressure ulcers?
What is the current pain grade of the user?
What are the likely changes in the user's health condition?
What are the needs of the nursing staff?
Is the product simple to operate?
Will the product achieve the desired results?
Is an air-driven system the correct support surface for you?

The inner cells are inter-connected to form 3 adjustable zones.
Zones are monitored by a pressure sensor which responds to user movement.
The computerised Controller automatically and precisely adjusts cell pressures - regardless of user weight.
Simple to use Controller - compact, light and quiet in operation.
Pump operates only on demand.
Built in battery for continued use during user transfers.

"The Optima Speciality Support System effectively reduces the pressure between the user and the support surface according to studies conducted by Takala & Soppi (2004)* and White et al (2007)*. This translates clinically into prevention of ulceration in acute respiritory failure (Takala & Soppi 1996)* and, in our ongoing evaluations, pain relief and improved sleep in a variety of chronic disorders.
Following equalisation of the mattress, over a 16 minute cycle, a massive 43% reduction in pressure was recorded - down from 39mmHg to 22mmHg."
