British Company Launches Pioneering Pressure Mattress Solutions In India

Over the last few years, UK-based, Rober has invested heavily in R&D to develop a complete range of pressure ulcer mattresses that can be used in everyday nursing environments, as well as acute care facilities.

The innovative range of mattresses and overlays has been developed in conjunction with clinicians, and includes solutions and features clinically proven technology that prevents pressure injuries from developing. The technology also has therapeutic properties that promote the healing of established ulcers.

This new generation of mattresses are fully automatic, and patients nursed upon them require less frequent manual repositioning, thus relieving the pressure on busy nursing staff.

Designed to mechanically replicate the body’s natural spontaneous movement in response to unrelieved pressure, the mattresses provide regular and complete pressure elimination to all parts of the body in contact with the mattress.
The company has focused on four key areas - microclimate control, patient safety and comfort, maximising infection control and offering additional nursing support.

Additional features such as a touch screen visual display panel, comfort settings, timed static mode, audible and visual alarms, permanently inflated side formers, maximum inflation mode, and simplicity of decontamination for effective infection control provide benefits to both patients and busy nursing staff.

Included within the new product ranges are two different mattress types - the premium NoDec® range and a secondary ‘cost effective’ range of mattress solutions, AirFlex, which have been designed to fulfil the requirements of ‘affordable healthcare’.

Mike Hutson, Chief Executive of Rober, said: “We have been working closely with our partners in India and we are delighted to be able to launch our new range of mattresses here. All of our technologies have been designed to offer maximum flexibility to patients who are at risk of pressure damage. They are effective and proven solutions in the prevention and treatment of pressure ulcers and we are looking forward to ‘stopping the pressure’ across India.”
