Invacare® Mattresses
IMPORTANT!
Risk of damage to the mattress cover
– To prevent accidental damage, do not place
hypodermic needles, venflons, scalpels or other
similarly sharp objects onto the mattress.
– Ensure that all venflons are taped down
correctly with no sharp edges exposed.
– When using patient transfer aids, care should
be taken not to damage the mattress. All
transfer aids should be checked for any sharp
edges or burrs before use as these can damage
the mattress.
– Make sure that the mattresses are not jammed
or damaged by sharp edges when used on
beds with an adjustable frame.
– When using the mattress on a profiling bed
ensure that the knee break is used before the
backrest.
