The original and still the best mattress overlays you can provide for your patients. Widely used by health carers in hospitals, nursing homes and in the community, the Propad Overlay has proved itself to be an essential element of a successful pressure care programme.

• Foam core has independent, geometrically cut surface cells – Significantly reduces shear and friction whilst increasing the support surface area, thereby reducing peak pressure
• Larger, more supportive cells at the centre; smaller cells at the ends of the foam core – Allows even weight distribution by conforming to the shape and form of the body, and cradles bony prominences
• Net work of “keyhole” channels at the base of each cell – Affords essential air circulation within the Overlay, minimising the build-up of heat and moisture, and helping to reduce shear and friction
• Constructed from superior quality foam – Offers exceptional pressure reducing qualities whilst enhancing product longevity
• Cover is two-way stretch, water resistant and vapour-permeable – Facilitates patient movement – reduces potential for shear and friction and ensures good air circulation, reducing the potential for skin maceration
• Covers have an anti-slip base – Ensures safe use of the overlay, and helps prevent slippage
• Cover zip along three sides – Facilitates easy inspection of the foam core
• Cover can be unzipped and removed from foam core; cover is machine washable at temperatures up to 71°C – Covers can be laundered for ease of cleaning and to aid infection control
• Available in Single, Double and King Size (special sizes available on request) Ensures Propad is particularly appropriate for home use

*Essential nursing care is pivotal in pressure ulcer prevention.These Trolley Mattresses will positively contribute to the outcome of a pressure ulcer prevention care plan. Education, clinical judgement and action planning based on vulnerability are fundamental factors in the prevention of pressure ulcers.The Waterlow score is a formal method of assessing risk from pressure ulcer development, and should be used in conjunction with an informal assessment (informed nursing judgement). Informal assessment is considered to be of greater importance and clinical value.
