Pressure Mapping Results

• MEDI-GEL™ foam used in the NSC3000 and NSC5000 series delivers equivalent pressure mapping results to a low air loss or alternating pressure mattress, with 40% lower cost.

• MEDI-GEL™ foam also provides significantly more efficient cooling properties than competing GEL foams. Over time MEDI-GEL™ will maintain a 1 to 2 degree lower surface temperature while still conforming to the body to assist in pressure relief and spinal alignment.

• Cooler surface temperatures means less moisture which assists in reducing incidents of skin breakdown.
