How Does the Apollo II Relieve Pressure for the Patient?

The Apollo II Mattress relieves pressure by alternating the foam cells beneath the patient every ten minutes. Each individual cell has an "air-on-air" construction that prevents the mattress from deflating too much, as the lower section of each cell remains inflated to provide a supportive base.

Can This Mattress Be Used with a Profiling Bed?

The Apollo II Mattress can be used in conjunction with a profiling bed to make patient care easier. This mattress will work best with either of the two profiling beds listed below.

Casa Elite with Metal Side Rails: More suited to hospitals and care home environments.
Casa Elite with Wooden Side Rails: More suited to private residential care.

Is the Apollo II Mattress Easy To Transport?

When a patient needs to be moved or repositioned, the Apollo Mattress has a Max Inflate Setting that turn the mattress rigid for easier transport. Straps on the underside of the mattress cover provide a secure hold, allowing carers to evacuate patients easier in the even of an emergency.

Does the Apollo II Pressure Relief Mattress Have a Cover?

Yes, the Apollo II Pressure Relief Mattress features a Dartex fabric multi-stretch cover. Waterproof and vapour permeable, this cover helps keep the mattress clean and is especially useful for incontinent patients. An anti-fungal agent is integrated into the fabric to help control microbial deterioration.

How Do I Disinfect the Cover?

The mattress cover has a 360° zip for easy removal when cleaning. Once removed, wipe the cover using cold water and a 0.1% chlorine solution.

Can You Perform CPR On This Mattress?

In the event of an emergency, the Apollo II Pressure Relief Mattress features a CPR dial that allows rapid deflation of the mattress, making it easier for carers to perform CPR. The dial is easy to operate and strategically placed in order to prevent accidental use.
