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.
