VERSATILITY

The Merit is mostly used where hygiene and infection control are more of a concern than pressure care. For example, a fully mobile individual with severe incontinence, or mattresses for group holiday homes.

The Merit 2H is a very versatile mattress that can be used in many applications – available in 50mm, 100mm and 150mm thicknesses and with the option of a Pressure Care polyurethane or a waterproof PVC cover. The 50mm Merit 2H is mostly used as a mattress underlay.

The Merit can be customised in size to suit any bed platform.

HIGH FREQUENCY WELDED COVER SEAMS

Every cover in the facility environment must have high frequency welded seams (as opposed to sewn) to meet infection control requirements and prevent seepage of fluid through open sewn seams. These electromagnetically fused seams protect against risk of penetration fluid as it 100% seal off to prevent ingress of fluid or infection. Forté’s covers are reinforced with additional heavy duty stitching at stress points within the cover.

WHAT DOES LOW RISK MEAN?

‘Risk’ relates to the likelihood of developing a pressure injury. You can determine the risk of your client but conducting a risk assessment – using a risk assessment tool such as the Waterlow along with qualified clinical judgment and knowledge of the client’s history and underlying condition.

Individuals with risk of obtaining a pressure injury should not use a low care mattress.

On the Waterlow Risk Assessment Tool, typically clients who score up to 10 are suitable for one of the mattresses within the Low Care Medical Mattress range.

4-WAY ROTATIONAL

The Merit 2H mattress has been designed to be usable on four different sides – head to foot and flipped.

Rotating a mattress can enhance the longevity of the mattress. It can also give caregivers peace of mind that if patients with behavioural concerns play with and rotate their mattress, they are able to receive the right quality of care and comfort.
