Invacare Softform Premier Visco

The Invacare® Softform® Premier Visco is a pressure reducing mattress suitable for those considered at 'High Risk' (Waterlow score - 20)* of developing pressure ulcers. The mattress features a high density visco elastic (memory) foam insert, which is temperature-sensitive to the body, allowing it to conform to the user's shape. This provides exceptional comfort and facilitates pressure reduction by minimising peak pressures.

The Invacare® Softform® Premier Visco is constructed from a range of superior quality materials.

* Essential nursing care is pivotal in pressure ulcer prevention. This mattress will positively contribute to the outcome of a pressure ulcer prevention care plan. Education, clinical judgement and action based planning based on vulnerability are fundamental factors in the prevention of pressure ulcers. The Waterlow score is a formal method of assessing risk from pressure ulcer development, and should be used in conjunction with an informal assessment (informed nursing judgement). Informal assessment is considered to be of greater importance and clinical value.

Warranties issued by Invacare are only relevant when both the Invacare mattress foam and Invacare mattress cover are used together. If either component is separated and used with other supplier parts, the warranty immediately becomes void.
