Prius Rhythm Turn Mattress System: Advanced Lateral Rotation Therapy for Enhanced Patient Care

Introduction

The Prius Rhythm Turn Mattress System is a state-of-the-art solution designed to provide superior pressure redistribution and enhanced patient comfort. Ideal for individuals at risk of pressure ulcers or those requiring pulmonary therapy, this mattress system combines lateral rotation and true low air loss technologies to promote healing and prevent complications associated with prolonged immobility.​

Key Features

Lateral Rotation Therapy

The Prius Rhythm Turn offers adjustable lateral rotation therapy with options for 20° or 40° turns to the left, right, or full rotation. This feature aids in pulmonary therapy by mobilizing secretions and reducing the risk of respiratory complications. The rotation cycle time is adjustable between 3 to 95 minutes, allowing customization based on patient needs. ​

True Low Air Loss Technology

Incorporating true low air loss technology, the mattress system provides a consistent flow of air to maintain a dry and cool microclimate. This helps in moisture management, reducing the risk of skin maceration and promoting overall skin integrity.

Enhanced Patient Safety

Safety is paramount in patient care. The Prius Rhythm Turn features raised side air rails to prevent accidental falls and ensure patient security during rotation therapy. Additionally, the CPR quick-release system allows for rapid deflation within 20 seconds in emergency situations. ​

Prius Rhythm Turn Mattress System User-Friendly Control Unit

The intuitive control unit offers 10 adjustable comfort settings, enabling caregivers to tailor the mattress firmness to individual patient preferences. Features such as Auto Firm/Patient Care mode provide immediate mattress inflation for nursing procedures, while the keypad lock-out function prevents unauthorized adjustments. ​

Construction and Materials

Durable Mattress Design

The mattress comprises 8-inch air cells made from nylon coated with polyurethane (PU), ensuring durability and patient comfort. A 2-inch convoluted foam base adds support and stability, while the modular design facilitates easy maintenance and replacement of individual air cells. ​

Prius Rhythm Turn Mattress System High-Quality Cover

Encasing the mattress is a high vapor-permeable and quilted nylon cover with a PU coating finish. This cover is waterproof, easy to clean, and designed to reduce shear and friction, thereby protecting the patient’s skin. An integrated glide sheet simplifies patient transfers, and the low-slip base cover ensures the mattress remains securely in place on the bed frame. ​

Cable Management

To maintain a clutter-free environment, the system includes an integrated power cable retainer, keeping electrical cords organized and off the floor, thereby reducing tripping hazards.
