The Drive Medical Gravity 6 Long Term Care Pressure Redistribution Mattress is a high-quality, multi-layered therapeutic foam surface designed to prevent and treat pressure ulcers through Stage II. It combines zoned pressure redistribution with specific anatomical protections, making it an ideal choice for long-term care facilities and home care settings.

Core Design & Therapeutic Features

• 5-Zone Pressure Redistribution: The mattress is engineered with five distinct therapeutic zones. This design ensures that support is anatomically calibrated, providing softer foam for sensitive areas like the head and heels, and firmer support for the torso to maintain proper spinal alignment.

• Sloped Heel Section: One of the most critical safety features is the dedicated sloped section at the foot of the bed. This design uses "heel slope" technology to shift weight away from the vulnerable heel area and redistribute it toward the more load-bearing calves.

• Premium Foam Layers: The mattress features high-density, high-resilient foam that provides excellent immersion (the ability of the body to sink into the surface) and envelopment, which are key to reducing peak pressure points.

Safety & Durability

• Firm Perimeter Edges: The mattress includes firm side bolsters that provide "edge-of-bed" stability. This assists with safe patient transfers and helps prevent the user from accidentally rolling off the bed or becoming trapped between the mattress and side rails.

• Fluid-Resistant Cover: It comes equipped with a multi-stretch, XL-Polyurethane cover that is vapor-permeable and fluid-resistant.This low-shear, low-friction fabric protects the skin from tearing during repositioning and makes the mattress easy to clean and disinfect.

• Fire Safety: The mattress meets the rigorous federal fire safety standard 16 CFR 1633, ensuring a high level of protection in the home or care facility.
