Salient Characteristics: Adapt Air System Must meet all required federal mandates for medical use. 4-way stretch top cover fabric shall be moisture vapor and heat permeable for microclimate management, breathable and low friction. Fabric must be durable and highly chemically resistant; it must remain waterproof even under harsh cleaning protocols. RF-welded seams bond top cover material together, creating an airtight, waterproof seal protecting against fluid ingress, reducing, or eliminating cross-contamination risk. Twenty 6-inch air cells feature patented vertical cell technology, which maintains vertical structure when weight is applied, leading to deeper immersion potential and lower shear forces while increasing stability and patient comfort. Targeted airflow microclimate management combines the top cover fabric, Adapt Pump and AirSpace mesh to ensure non-stop airflow beneath the patient/surface interface helping keep patients cool and dry. Compatible with Adapt Pump for pressure redistribution (alternating pressure, immersion) and airflow for microclimate management. Surface must remain inflated during transport. Maximum patient weight of 550 lbs. Dimensions: Height: 6 Width: 35 Length: 82 Adapt Convertible System Must meet all required federal mandates for medical use. 4-way stretch top cover that is breathable and chemically resistant, standing up to the toughest cleaning protocols. The bottom cover is RF-welded from a single panel of non-skid material to minimize the risk of fluid ingress and improve its durability. Targeted airflow microclimate management combines the top cover fabric, Adapt Pump and AirSpace mesh to ensure non-stop airflow beneath the patient/surface interface helping keep patients cool and dry. CoreShield protects the internal components from fluid ingress and other damage, helping extend the life of the product. CuPro copper and gel infused foam to efficiently dissipate heat using tiny particles of copper. The absorbed heat increases the responsiveness of the foam, allowing for easier patient movement. Nine foam-filled air cells self-adjust with patient weight and movement and contain five types of layered and zoned foam, to provide varied levels of support and pressure redistribution to the head, torso, and heel. Firm foam edge for added stability during patient ingress/egress. Sloped heel zone for additional off-loading capabilities. Halogen and fiberglass free fire barrier.
