ABOUT YOUR MATTRESS

The OSKA Series6 features a
proprietary system of interconnected
air support cylinders designed to deliver
outstanding pressure redistribution for
those with or at risk of skin breakdown.
The OSKA Series6 is intended for use as
a non-powered reactive therapy surface,
or as a powered active therapy surface
via the addition of a powered air control
unit.
DESCRIPTION:
The system consists of a foam shell
with a high-density, zoned foam top
layer that serves as the interface
between the patient and the inner air
system. The foam shell also includes a
contoured Safety Edge™ foam bolster
design, providing added patient stability
and positioning. OSKA Series6 also
includes the unique Heel Slope® feature,
designed to further reduce pressure
for the vulnerable heel area. Within
the foam shell is housed the inflation
system, consisting of air cylinders
running lengthwise within the mattress.
One of two different, optional add-on
powered control units can be connected
to the mattress to provide alternating
pressure or powered flotation modes.
The system also includes an auto firm
mode to provide a firm support surface
for use during patient care and to assist
during patient transfer. Built-in check
valves ensure an ideal therapeutic
setting for non-powered pressure
redistribution when the control unit is
not attached.
INDICATIONS FOR USE:
The OSKA Series6 model is intended
as an aid in the prevention and
treatment of pressure ulcers. Powered
modes are intended for active wound
treatment, and may be indicated for
use as a preventive tool against further
complications associated with critically
ill patients or immobility.
CAUTION!
The Series6 is not for use by
those with unstable spinal
chords
