Further Information
The NoDec® AIRSTREAM 3 replaces the mattress on any hospital,
style bed frame. This mattress replacement system is quiet,
comfortable and simple enough for a single caregiver installation.
The frequent removal of contact (interface) pressure has been
demonstrated to reduce the risk of pressure injury which is caused
by reduced capillary blood flow in the tissue surrounding the bony
prominences. The NoDec® AIRSTREAM 3 is also a valuable aid in
the treatment of existing pressure injuries up to Grade V.
The objective of the NoDec® AIRSTREAM 3 is to remove the
contact pressure created by the patient lying on the mattress. This
is achieved by sequentially inflating and deflating the air cells of
the mattress. This regularly reduces the contact pressure which
restores blood flow and tissue oxygenation in the deep tissues
about the vulnerable bony prominences.
The system consists of an air filled mattress that is placed on top
of a conventional bed frame and is connected via an air supply
hose (umbilical) to a separate control unit. This mattress consists
of individual cells, protected by a Gerroderm cover.
The control unit is software driven which gives the capability to
maintain the air pressure in the cells at the required level and to
automatically alter the air pressure depending on the weight of the
patient and their position in bed. Air pressure can also be changed
depending on required care.
The additional presence of a CPR valve located at the side of the
power unit permits the rapid deflation of the mattress in an
emergency.
