The Latex mattress is a low-risk pressure mattress but provides unique bounce-back support which makes it easy for transfers. Suitable on any base platform. Icare risk category ratings are based on average peak pressure, Therapist recommendation, case studies, industry comparison, and the Waterlow scale. For some high-risk clients, Icare Zerotec covers are recommended. The best way to assess a client on a pressure-reducing surface is to monitor pressure points with visual checks over a period of 5 days.
Pressure Redistribution
The IC15 mattress features the ActiveX™ 84 material is the main comfort layer in this mattress. ActiveX™ is a high-grade elastic type foam that is responsive to the temperature around inflamed areas. ActiveX™ will become softer as it becomes warmer. So around a pressure point, it will always soften and allow the blood to circulate freely.
Solid Support Foam Base
XP Support foam is a high-density foam that is used in the bottom layer of the IC15. XP Support foam is an open cell material that breaths to allow air circulation but is high density to prevent bottoming out. This material will easily contour to any profiling bed.
Temperature Regulating Cover
The IC15 cover is made with the new Bluetec cooling fabric. This is all-way stretch fabric to conform with body and mattress contour. It is under-woven with a cooling yarn to regulate body temperature.
Ventilated Base Fabric
Vant fabric is a three-dimensional polypropylene material that has high air permeability and is anti-bacterial. We use this on the side wall of the IC15 mattress covers to greatly increase air movement.
Pressure Care
This rating is based on our average peak pressure of <31mmHg. For some high risk clients Icare Zerotec covers are recommended.
