The Diamond 8 Plus mattress replacement system is an alternating “micro” low air loss mattress replacement system that combines the most advanced technology and clinically effective features for the prevention and treatment of pressure ulcers.

The design of the individual cells, inside the mattress, are similar to a figure 8, divided into two 4″ sections. The lower four inches remain inflated at all times. The top four inches alternate in a 3:1 pattern so that 66% of the body is constantly supported. This allows for a more stable surface.

To ensure the longevity of the control unit we recommend inspecting / cleaning the filter monthly.

Micro Low Air loss Technology - Air escapes from 20 laser-cut openings in the centre 10 cells of the mattress. Air is distributed equally under a vapour-permeable, quilted cover that acts to wick moisture away from the individual.

Deep Cell 3:1 Alternation Therapy - 18 independent 8 inch high cells inflate and deflate in a 3:1 cycle, creating maximum support for the individual using 2/3 of the air cells.

In the event of a power failure the bottom half of the cells remain inflated up to 72 hours. 2-hour battery back-up built into control unit.
