TIDEWAVE™ TURNING MATTRESS
UNIQUE CURVING TECHNOLOGY BASED ON CLINICAL BEST PRATICES

AUTOMATED PRESSURE RELIEF AND CONTINUOUS REPOSITIONING

The unique technology provides automated turning sequences for the prevention and treatment of pressure ulcers (decubitus) up to and including category four (4). The continuous and automated movement sequences of the Tidewave™ mattress make manual repositioning unnecessary. For the patient, this means undisturbed sleep, less stiffness and pain, as well as a general improvement in well-being and quality of life. The Tidewave™ mattress enables caregivers to avoid manual repositioning multiple times a night while providing the peace of mind that the patient is in bed, safely.

HOW IT WORKS

The Tidewave™ mattress consists of an ergonomic cold foam mattress with air cells underneath. With the push of a button, it curves to shape a support-ing cradle around the patient's body. After the patient is safely supported, the mattress starts moving slowly and continuously from side to side. The increased surface contact area of the cradle shape, combined with the slow and constant movement from side to side, eliminates the need for manual repositioning.

CUSTOMIZATION

The intuitive control panel lets the user set the degree of turning, turning direction both ways, only left or only right. The time it takes to complete a turning cycle can be set to 20, 40, or 60 minutes. A pause of 15 or 30 minutes at side position can also be set. The mattress can be ordered with soft, medium or hard foam section, depending on the weight and preferences of the patient.
