Nimbus 3 alternating-pressure replacement mattress.

Alternating-pressure surfaces have been shown to reduce the incidence of pressure sores compared with standard hospital mattresses and pressure-reducing (constant low-pressure) surfaces. Huntleigh Healthcare has recently introduced the Nimbus 3 to its range of alternating-pressure mattress replacement systems. This product has been developed according to new medical device regulations and is indicated for the treatment of patients with all grades of pressure sores and for prevention in patients who are at very high risk of developing pressure sores.
