INTRODUCTION Product Description The Argyll II is a high end, specialised dynamic mattress replacement system with a digital pump, targeted towards the assistive treatment for patients who have existing and potentially severe pressure damage. This system is designed for those patients considered to be at very high risk of pressure ulcer development and has a deep cell, consisting of two layers (8-inch / 20cm depth).

The Argyll II™ will continue to operate beyond this but may cause increased pressure points on the patient. A fist or hand test to ensure patient clearance under the sacral area is a best practice guide (see image 1DA and diagram of profiled mattress 2DA or visit our website (www.heridahealthcare.co.uk) under “Education”...
