[how to use]

Hand Check & Inflation Adjustments

The key to safe patient support is creating the perfect balance between pliability and stiffness of the mattress. If a mattress is too stiff, the advantages of the surface area are defeated. One inch of air is adequate support for a patient.

If you can slide your hand in and out easily under the overlay, pressure is being relieved. Although you may feel the patient, your hand has displaced the air that has been supporting the patient.

The purpose of the hand check is to adjust the air in product, if necessary. EHOB recommends daily hand checks and then adding or removing air, according to the patient’s position and the body type.

The oval shaped hand wells provide for easier handling of the mattress to logroll and transfer patients up to 181 kgs.
