Gel-Kool Mattress

We recommend this product for use in the Acute, Community & Nursing Home sectors.

The Gel-Kool system is an innovative product in pressure area care which combines gel infused visco-elastic foam with a sodium hypochlorite resistant cover.

The Gel-Kool mattress features a castellated support surface on top of a single foam base, to provide optimum patient support.

Innovative Gel Technology:

The Gel infused visco-elastic foam creates a micro-climate between the patient and the support surface, balancing body heat and delivering a more comfortable sleeping experience.

Greater Cover Resistance:

The Gel-Kool sodium hypochlorite resistant cover can withstand a higher concentration of cleaning substances without compromising its protective properties.

Smarter Support:

The gel beads infused into the visco-elastic foam interact in response to pressure peaks, doubling the pressure distribution capacity of the surface and decreasing the risk of bottoming out.

Temperature Control:

Low temperatures can increase the hardness of standard visco-elastic foam, affecting its pressure distribution property. The high thermal conductivity of the gel infused into the Gel-Kool surface, enables excellent pressure relief performance across a wide range of temperatures.

Infection Prevention:

• Waterproof, vapour permeable cover can be easily wiped clean
• High frequency welded seams reduce the risk of fluid ingress
• Zip is protected by a double sided, full length welded flap
