How does the Invacare® Glissando™ Mattress minimize shear and friction?
The patented design allows the mattress to conform simultaneously to the resident and the bed frame, optimizing the features of an articulating bed. When the bed is articulated, the top surface retains its properties for effectively supporting the resident, while the base of the mattress conforms separately to the bed frame. This reduces unwanted resident movement, reducing potential for tissue damage resulting from the friction and shearing.
