Repose® - Mattress Overlay Standard - 190 x 77 cm
The Repose range offers a unique and simple solution to efficiently redistribute or relieve pressure (floating heels) and to contribute to the prevention and treatment of pressure ulcers.
Lie
Proven efficiency for broad deployment in pressure ulcer prevention and treatment. The Repose overlay mattresses offer optimal pressure redistribution to every risk patient. Experience has taught us that patients lie very comfortably on Repose. Especially in very light and pain-sensitive patients.
The narrow Repose mattress overlay is very suitable for radiology, surgery or other treatment tables due to its small width.
Proven efficiency for broad deployment in pressure ulcer prevention and treatment.
The Repose mattress overlay consists of 16 connected air chambers. This reactive device provides optimal pressure redistribution to any at-risk patient. Experience has taught us that patients also lie very comfortably on Repose. Especially for very light and sensitive patients... The 2-person Repose mattress overlay offers the opportunity for both partners to use 1 large Repose mattress together, adapted to a 2-person bed. The exceptionally high comfort also provides the partner with a very good night's sleep while preserving the pressure redistributing properties for the patient receiving it.

Repose twice as efficient as alternating pressure mattresses
Repose has been used for more than 25 years as a pressure ulcer prevention system and more than 3 million patients have been successfully treated. In recent years, a lot of scientific studies have been done in several countries within Europe that show the efficiency of Repose in the prevention of
have only confirmed pressure ulcers.
• In 2013, the scientific journal WOUNDS1 . will publish
the study by Van Leen et al. in which in a Dutch residential care center the Repose as an overlay on a viscoelastic foam mattress is compared with the same mattress without Repose. This crossover RCT study showed an incidence of 22.2% on the viscoelastic foam mattress and only 5.2% on the Repose mattress overlay.
• In 2016, the Journal of Wound2, Ostomy and Continence Nursing will publish a multicenter cohort study of Serraes and Beeckman in 6 Belgian nursing homes. In this study, pressure ulcer incidence (cat II-IV) on Repose was determined in a large group of 176 residents over a 30-day period. The incidence was remarkably low, given the high risk profile of the patients, at 5.1%. An overview of the key studies demonstrating the clinical efficacy of Repose

Repose is simple and sustainable
Repose consists of air-filled and interconnected polyurethane film membranes. The 50 µm thin polyurethane is extremely elastic: it can be stretched up to six times without tearing or losing its elasticity. The combination of air and polyurethane film guarantees the best possible pressure redistribution through embedding (immersion) and enclosing (envelope). Repose is the perfect product to increase the contact surface between the body and the underlayer as much as possible. The material is breathable and temperature neutral. This creates an optimal microclimate. The unique Repose pump ensures that each device is inflated with the correct pressure. The patented 'Smart Valve' technology guarantees an internal pressure of 12 mmHg in the Repose. This is the optimum value for pressure redistribution and clinical effectiveness through slump and containment. The pump also serves as packaging for Repose.
