Selecting a Support Surface:
We have several different therapeutic beds and overlays to best suit the patient’s needs. Shop our Group I category for products that work to distribute pressure. Shop our Group II selection for therapeutic ulcer treatments that focus on skin moisture management and circulation. For patients using a traditional non-hospital bed frame, we have several in-home support styles available in twin, full, queen and king sizes. Ensure ultimate comfort and pressure ulcer prevention with support surface therapy from our product selections.

Full-framed products or specialty beds are the high end of the specialty-surface spectrum. Some require an electric pump and are used as treatment products. The three basic groups are high air loss, low air loss, and kinetic therapy. Whereas kinetic therapy beds were originally created as a skin treatment product, they are now used in the acute care setting for the treatment of pulmonary conditions and spinal fractures (ex: ROHO Dry Floatation,
MATTSYSC). High and low air-loss beds have been designed to provide pressure relief for patients who may not be turned or who have Stage 3 or 4 pressure ulcers on more than one turning surface.
