Introducing the Hercules Dream AIR™ Mattress
The Hercules Dream AIR Mattress is designed to provide advanced pressure redistribution for patients requiring superior support and comfort. Engineered for flexibility, this mattress system addresses critical wound care needs by offering multiple pressure relief layers and microclimate management. The mattress can be used independently or with an optional control unit, delivering enhanced therapy options.
Features of the Dream AIR™ Mattress
1 - Pressure Redistribution with or Without Control Unit
The Hercules Dream AIR Mattress offers exceptional versatility, allowing it to be used with or without the control unit. Without the control unit, the mattress relies on eight self-adjusting air cells that distribute pressure across key areas of the body, including the head, shoulders, hips, sacrum, legs, and heels. This design is ideal for high-risk areas and ensures continuous pressure relief.
The mattress benefits from low-air-loss technology when used with the control unit, providing alternating pressure therapy and microclimate management. This quiet operation system ensures a comfortable and therapeutic environment for the patient.
2 - Self-Adjusting Air Cells for Targeted Relief
With its eight self-adjusting air cells, the Hercules Dream AIR mattress continuously redistributes pressure to alleviate stress in critical areas. These air cells work with the ShearTek™ 3-dimensional sculpted viscoelastic layer, which offers added comfort and envelops the patient’s body, reducing the risk of pressure ulcers and skin breakdown.
3 - Four-Way Breathable Stretch Cover for Enhanced Skin Health
The mattress’s 4-way breathable stretch cover is designed with high Moisture Vapor Transmission (MVT) capabilities, promoting a dry and cool skin environment. This feature ensures that the patient’s skin remains comfortable and less prone to moisture buildup, enhancing the overall care experience.
4 - Retractable Foot Section for Heel Pressure Relief
The Hercules Dream AIR Mattress includes a retractable foot section, naturally reducing heel pressure. This feature is particularly beneficial for patients prone to heel ulcers. Additionally, the retractable foot section easily accommodates bed frames with adjustable foot sections, providing seamless compatibility with various bed designs.
Enhanced Comfort and Safety for All Patients
1 - Supporting Patients of All Sizes
With a weight capacity of up to 550 lbs, the Hercules Dream AIR Mattress is built to support many patients, including those with higher body weights. This robust support system ensures that patients of all sizes receive the same pressure redistribution and comfort level.
2 - Advanced Safety Standards
The Hercules air mattress meets stringent flammability standards, including CAL 117, CAL TB129, CPSC 16 CFR 1633, and Boston 1X-11. These certifications ensure the mattress provides comfort and meets high safety requirements for healthcare environments.
Control Unit with Low-Air-Loss Technology
The optional control unit offers alternating pressure with low-air-loss microclimate management. Its quiet operation (at just 35 dBA) and simple adjustments make it easy for caregivers to customize the therapy according to the patient’s needs. The 5-minute alternating pressure interval ensures effective pressure relief and enhances wound healing potential.
