5 Minds Align Mattress with Shear Reduction Technology
The Align reactive foam replacement surface with Shear Reduction Technology (SRT) is an innovative solution designed to address shearing forces present during client movement in bed or when changing the position of the bed frame, at the same time ensuring proper pressure redistribution. The Align is a cost effective choice for clients at risk of experiencing skin breakdown. The side bolsters complete with accordion cuts provide an excellent transfer edge.
The surface is designed to absorb forces that damage skin, reducing the risk for skin breakdown. A third party clinical trial was completed by Durham College Department of Nursing and Department of Engineering to validate SRT. The trial provided non-biased support for the efficacy and use in populations where shear forces can damage vulnerable skin.
