The Verto Mattress has been designed for use with patients suffering from the inability to move or turn themselves and have therefore developed pressure sores on those areas of the body where insufficient blood is supplied.
The lateral rotation feature enables a gentle, gradual, 30-40 degree turning angle of the patient allowing capillaries to fill, preventing blood starvation and the formation of pressure sores. In this way, existing pressure sores can be treated successfully. The mattress is a low air loss system which keeps the patient cool and dry without blowing air directly onto the patient.
