A pioneering British pressure relief mattress that has been designed to fulfil the requirements of ‘affordable healthcare’ will be on display at Medical Fair India 2017 this week.

Developed by pressure relief specialist, Rober, the AirFlex^® mattress offers vulnerable patients complete pressure elimination at regular intervals, thus preventing pressure ulcers from occurring.

The pioneering technology also includes therapeutic properties, which help to heal existing injuries. It also supports nursing teams and helps them to better manage their patients, saving valuable time and resources.

The AirFlex mattress range uses clinically proven technology, which responds to a patient’s weight, spontaneous movement pattern and body position to provide enhanced comfort.

The ‘wave-like, ripple effect’ allows the body weight of the patient to be distributed evenly creating a soft, comfortable yet stable surface that does not compromise on clinical outcomes.

The mattress range has been designed in collaboration with a range of healthcare professionals. It is easy-to-use, cost-effective and offers maximum flexibility to patients who are at risk of pressure damage.

Mike Hutson, Chief Executive of Rober, said: “We are delighted to be at Medical Fair India once again to showcase our mattress range.

“Pressure ulcers are a rising problem globally, but the majority of ulcers are avoidable – patients just need to be nursed on the right type of mattress. We are working with hospitals and nurses to introduce our technology into India and are committed to dramatically reducing ulcers across the country.”

Taking place at Pragati Maidan, New Delhi, from 6 – 8 April, 2017, Medical Fair India is India’s number 1 trade fair for hospitals, health centres and clinics. The exhibition attracts 512 exhibitors from 16 countries. Visit Rober in hall 10, stand B19.
