The secret of perfected adaption to the body by Vacuform® surgical mattresses is microballs of Styrofoam, which are stabilised by vacuum to give a lasting, completely supportive form. Reducing the diameter of the filter balls by a fifth enables more precise adaption of the surgical mattress to the body. The MicroSpace system significantly increases the feeling of physical comfort for the patient compared to conventional fillings.
The individual, ergonomic body adaptation of Vacuform® surgical mattresses helps prevent pressure points leading to acute decubital pressure injuries and paresis. The support pressure of the patient is evenly distributed, and thus minimised. The microcirculation needed by the skin is unaffected and the patient has a noticeable feeling of lightness and warmth.
