That’s why the P290 mattress overlay or mattress replacement system from Hillrom was designed to help prevent and treat pressure ulcers in low to high risk adult patients. The P290 surface provides an adjustable level of immersion and envelopment in both Alternating and Continuous Low Pressure therapy modes.This therapeutic approach reduces compression of vulnerable tissues and is aligned with The NPIAP/EPUAP/PPPIA International Guidelines which advise clinicians to change from a support surface to a specialty support surface (i.e. alternating pressure air mattress, lowair-loss mattress or air fluidized bed) when the individual.Cannot be positioned off the existing pressure ulcer . Has a pressure ulcer on two or more turning surfaces which limits repositioning positions . Has a pressure ulcer that fails to heal or that deteriorates despite appropriate comprehensive care .Is at high risk for additional pressure ulcers .
