The exclusive Geo foam topper is a high density, medical grade foam. The unique geometric design consists of over 800 individual cells, each of which acts individually to redistribute pressure, to reduce heat and moisture buildup on the skin, and to reduce shear to underlying tissues. This foam topper is 2" in height and includes the Heel Slope™ feature, designed to further reduce pressure for the sensitive heel area.
Shear transfer zones™
• creates shear-minimizing bands beneath heels, sacrum and scapula • helps “glide” user to original position following gatching • provides overall stability while offsetting friction
Two-way heel protection
Segmented visco elastic foam cradles the heel. Gentle Heel Slope™ redistributes pressure to more pressure-tolerant lower legs, providing enhanced skin integrity and comfort.
3-Dimensional Zoning™
Provides anatomically- calibrated levels of support and immersion throughout the surface. Benefits include optimized tissue load management, enhanced product longevity and extreme comfort.
UHP 500 Ultra High performance Foam
• A 55% higher Support Factor than typical medical-grade foams • Unmatched protection from “bottoming out”, even with HOB elevated • Superior resiliency and recovery, even when compared to typical HR foams
Firm perimeter provides edge of bed stability
Firmer edges provide safer transfers, more stable edge-of-bed sitting, and reduced risks of entrapment in side rail/mattress gaps.
And on the outside: The bi-directional stretch cover with Shear Transfer Zones™ design
Beyond its segmented top surface, it provides an additional measure of shearing protection in the form of the silicone-coated, shear minimizing fabric bands located on the underside of its bi-directional stretch cover.
This Shear Transfer Zone design helps:
Prevent heels, sacrum, and scapula from "digging into" surface
"Glide" user back to original position following HOB elevation
Protect against damaging effects of micro shear, macro shear, and rotational (pivot-induced) shear
Provide patient stability by transferring shear to more shear-tolerant anchor points
Built for extreme comfort with a 3-Dimensional Zoning™ core design providing proper weight distribution & spinal alignment. And with repeated head of bed elevating and the patient’s concentrated weight combine to expose the seat section to the highest level of mechanical fatigue. This support system distinguishes itself by offering unmatched protection from "bottoming out". A unique cellular structure gives UHP 500 a combination of resiliency, recovery and comfort not achievable with any of the foams commonly used in medical support surfaces.
