Principles of Pressure Care
Pressure Redistribution
- Softer foams and immersion layers minimise tissue deformation.
- Alternating air cells deliver gentle, targeted pressure care.
- Reduces motion-related discomfort for lightweight users.
Repositioning and Mobility
- A responsive surface supports caregiver-assisted repositioning.
- A reinforced perimeter enhances stability and safer transfers.
- Smoother movements support independence.
Shear and Friction Reduction
- Reduced air cell amplitude lowers tissue stress and strain.
- A low-friction inner cover minimises shear at skin level.
- The stretch outer cover provides added anti-shear protection.
Microclimate Management
- A vapour-permeable cover reduces heat and moisture build-up.
- Ventilated foams improve airflow and breathability.
- Active airflow supports consistent temperature regulation.
Gentle Care for Critical Needs
Critical care made gentle, for smaller patients
Zephair Lite combines softer immersion foams and alternating air therapy for lightweight users from 12–90 kg.
