Overview
The P290 mattress overlay, or mattress replacement system was designed to help prevent and treat pressure ulcers for moderate-risk patients.¹
The P290 surface provides immersion and envelopment through a choice of Alternating and Continuous Low Pressure therapy modes.
The ALP And CLP options are aligned with the NPIAP/EPUAP/PPPIA International Guidelines which advise clinicians to change from a standard support surface to a specialty support surface (i.e. alternating pressure air mattress, low-air-loss mattress, or air fluidized bed) when the individual:²
- Cannot be positioned off the existing pressure ulcer
- Has a pressure ulcer on two or more turning surfaces, which limits repositioning positions
- Has a pressure ulcer that fails to heal or deteriorates despite appropriate comprehensive care
- Is at risk for additional pressure ulcers
- Is uncomfortable
- “Bottoms out” (i.e. touches the bed frame) on the current support surface
