As a static mattress, the Premier Active 2 is suitable for patients considered at high risk of pressure injury development. The benefit of this system is that should it be deemed clinically necessary, the surface can be stepped up to a dynamic surface by fitting a pump to the air insert, thereby allowing additional levels of pressure relief. This reduces a lot of moving and handling issues as the mattress can stay on the bed for a wide range of patients.

The air system is placed beneath the foam insert and the air cell inflation alternates on a 10 minute 1-in-2 cycle to provide an extremely comfortable surface while preventing pressure on any one area. The sensory software within the pump gauges the patient’s weight so that pressure can be maintained at an appropriate level.
