Optimal 5zon® BM
Preventative mattress overlay with good comfort
Optimal 5zon® BM is a flexible mattress overlay that is intended for community and home care, as an aid in helping to prevent and treat pressure ulcers up to category 2.(1)
Its design provides good pressure redistribution and, thanks to the High Resilience Foam core, Optimal 5zon® BM has a long life and provides a good level of comfort.
A preventive support surface
Pressure ulcers/injuries cause significant suffering for those affected and significant costs for society. A largre proportion of pressure ulcers/injuries that occur can be prevented(4). For a support surface to have preventive effect, there needs to be a balance between the individual being enveloped by the material and pressure being evenly distributed across the surface, while the foam provides sufficient support to prevent bottoming out.
Castellated overlay mattress for even
pressure distribution
With high-quality foam combined with a castellated overlay mattress, Optimal 5zon® is designed to promote comfort and pressure distribution. The castellated overlay mattress is tailored to the amount of pressure required for different parts of the body to be enveloped by the support surface. For lighter body parts, such as the heels, the support surface has smaller-sized cubes to promote good and even pressure distribution across the body.
The quality of the foam affects patient safety
Using high-quality foam is critical to ensure patient safety and a long lifespan of the support surface. Optimal 5zon® consists of high-density foam (kg/m3), which increases its ability to support the individual without the risk of bottoming out, while also providing high resistance to fatigue and conditions for a long lifespan. This results in a durable support surface that needs to be replaced less frequently, leading to lower costs over time.
