Revolutionising pressure ulcer prevention - Tidewave x Medimart

Revolutionising Pressure Ulcer Prevention
The Tidewave™ Mattress automatically turns patients prone to pressure ulcers, improving the quality of patient care and relief to healthcare staff.
The mattress redistributes the pressure that causes bedsores with a gentle, automated movement. Patients are moved laterally and continuously in sequenceslasting from 20 to 60 minutes.
Ergonomically designed, the mattress curves around the sides of the patient’s body. This prevents patients from falling out of bed and distributes the body weight across a larger area, reducing peak pressure points. Patients feel safe and comfortable in the Tidewave Hug.
Medimart and Tidewave would like to invite you to a training session to explore the new revolutionising pressure ulcer prevention method!
