Clinical Features

Published Clinical Evidence

• Scientifically shown to improve blood flow to skin tissue at the feet by 336%, which are prone to pressure injuries. 
• Scientifcally shown to improve endothelial function by +197%. (endothelial dysfunction is a primary intrinsic factor in pressure ulceration). 
• Published on PUB MED.  
• Designed to aid in the prevention and treatment of pressure injuries up to category 4 tissue damage.

Automatic Alternating Pressure Relief

• Defaults to alternating mode at startup, which has been shown to lower the incidence of pressure injuries.

Fully Automatic Weight Adjustment

• Automatically adjusts to accommodate patient weights from 30kg to 200kg.
• Recalibrates every hour to adapt to patient weight changes, ensuring consistent support and comfort.

Autofirm Repositioning Function (Recorded on History of Use)

• Active mattresses should be inflated using autofirm mode to create a stable, firm, flat surface for patient repositioning, as mandated by NHS England. This is to prevent injuries during repositioning maneuvers. The Vestims® Auto 8955a mattress system includes an auto firm, repositioning function. Evidence of its use is recorded on the history of use reporting system.

Dedicated Heel Zone

• Clinical studies show a 336% increase in resting blood flow to the feet after eight weeks of use.

Quick Release CPR

• Allows for rapid deflation in emergency situations, facilitating immediate medical intervention.

 Highly Stable Design

• Facilitates easier repositioning, self-initiated repositioning, and physiotherapy.
• Stable design reduces the risk of falls and enhances patient mobility.

Panel Lock

• Prevents unauthorized use of mattress controls, ensuring consistent settings.

Intuitive Controls & Instructions

• Intuitive user interface and easy-to-use instructions for improved ease of use.

Transportation Mode

• The mattress unit can be transferred from room to room in a semi inflated mode. Not to be used with a patient in situ.

72 Hour Power Off Inflation

• Air-filled mattress base stays inflated for up to 72 hours in the event of power failure.

Technical Features

Maintenance Alert

• Notifies the care/maintenance team when annual servicing is required, maintaining optimal mattress condition.
• This is an important safety feature.

Low Pressure / Power Failure Alerts

• Low-pressure audible and visual alert.
• Power failure audible and visual alert. Informs the care team of power supply interruptions, preventing potential patient harm.

Warranty

• Two-year warranty.

Infection Control

• Designed for easy laundering, the entire mattress base can be rolled up and machine washed due to zero foam design.
• Zero foam design reduces the risk of pathogen harboring and infection, critical in medical environments.
• 360 Degrees Zip.

Regulatory Features

Class 2a Medical Device

• Registered as a Class IIa medical device, meeting stringent UK medical device regulations, ensuring legal compliance.

History of Use Compliance Report

• The Vestims® mattress system maintains a comprehensive record of its recent use.
• Allows the care provider to demonstrate when the mattress was in use, whether it was in an alternating or continuous low-pressure mode.
• Verifies the use of the autofirm protocol in line with the patient’s care plan, highlighting deviations in care, and encouraging greater repositioning compliance.
