About the Homecare ICON

Premium Triple Layer Luxury Pressure Care Mattress

Firm Strengthened Transfer Sides

Airoform Immersion Foam

Firm Foundation

Luxury Homecare Style Comfort

FIRM SIDE WALLS

The Homecare ICON mattress has inbuilt firm side walls constructed of an ultra-high density foam, engineered with a profile hinge system to reduce falls risk and provide enhanced stability. Side walls significantly help reduce the effort required to transition on or off sleep surface and assist with repositioning and other tasks. Therefore side walls are important for any users with limited strength.

Inbuilt strengthened sides reduce the risk of foam compression on the mattress edge, and subsequent user ‘roll-out’. Firm, rigid edging provides structural support for transfer, ingress, and egress. Forté side walls make primary care easier and suit the use of transfer and mobility aids such as slide boards.

Forté side walls have been designed with a unique integrated hinge system to reduce tension & compression in foam when used with a profiling bed. Reducing tension aids overall mattress longevity. The hinge system allows the mattress to easily articulate for the maximum benefit of electronic bed function.

VERSATILITY; AN OPTION FOR EVERYONE

The Homecare ICON mattress range is a relatively new name to the market, designed to meet some specific demands from the community market:

The International Guideline 2019.
  • a mattress that has firm strengthened sides to prevent risk of falls and assist with transfers and bed mobility
  • a mattress that the consumer wants and likes – so a medical mattress that still has that luxury feel
  • held in stock for quick supply

MEDICAL FOAM TECHNOLGY

Foams used by Forté in the Homecare ICON mattress are specifically formulated for use within high humidity applications, typical within Hospital applications where the mattress has low rest periods and is fitted with Moisture Vapour Permeable Covers. ‘Humidity’ treatment ensures that the structural integrity of the foams remains within conditions that would otherwise have a significant degrading effect on foam performance. It also ensures postural support is maintained for comfort and prevents excessive pressure forces because of foam collapse. It is crucial to pressure injury prevention that the foam maintains its support to prevent a ‘bottoming out’ effect and ensure immersion and envelopment.

Foams are also treated with Eversheild Anti-Microbial protection to prevent the growth of mould and bacteria. Maintaining healthy conditions within the foams reduces risk of infection control, cross patient contamination and mould.

Foams are individually sourced and selected as raw materials by Forté Healthcare from verified manufacturers within Australia, Europe and United States for guaranteed compliance with International standards. Forté provides complete supply chain transparency, benefiting the user by ensuring ultimate governance on quality and raw material safety especially necessary as Medical Mattresses are used in very close physical proximity to vulnerable users.

The foam configurations used on the Homecare ICON mattresses have been approved for use by QLD Health, NSW Health, NT Health & SWEP Victoria.
