AirFlex® OVERLAY
2 Cell-Cycle Alternating Pressure Mattress Overlay
AirFlex® OVERLAY is a high quality, cost effective, 2-cell cycle alternating pressure overlay mattress which provides excellent pressure relief, especially when placed on top of a high specification foam pressure relieving mattress. It is a large cell, dynamic overlay designed to provide the changes in interface pressure required to stimulate reactive hyperaemia in the deep tissues surrounding the bony prominences.
The mattress has in-built pressure sensors that automatically adjust to a patient’s weight and changes in body position. It also features advanced engineering and a quality compressor that provides therapeutic treatment for patients weighing from 30 to 180 kg. The AirFlex® OVERLAY is fully automatic and recommended for the prevention of pressure injuries in high risk patients and especially those in long-term care.
AirFlex® OVERLAY is part of the new innovative ‘cost effective’ range of mattress solutions designed to fulfil the requirements of ‘affordable healthcare.’

- V-Lock system prevents accidental disconnection of the power cord
Maximises Infection Control
- Waterproof, vapour permeable, Dartex® covers provide microclimate control at the skin/mattress interface
- Soft, smooth covers reduce shear and friction as well as allowing easy wipe down when cleaning
- Welded seams prevent the ingress of fluids into the mattress
- 360° zip ensures cover can be easily removed for infection control and high temperature laundering
- Generous waterfall flap protects zip and the integrity of the air-cells
