Care mattress
A "zorgmatras" is a specially designed mattress used in the healthcare sector, particularly in hospitals and nursing homes. It is designed to improve patient or resident comfort and health while also facilitating the work of caregivers. Some features and functions of a zorgmatras include:
Pressure Relief: Zorgmatrasses are designed to reduce pressure on the patient's body. This helps prevent decubitus or bedsores, which are common issues with long-term bedridden patients.
Breathable: Many zorgmatrasses are breathable, meaning they allow air circulation. This can help prevent overheating and sweating.
Waterproof or Moisture-Wicking: Some zorgmatrasses are waterproof or have moisture-wicking properties. This is useful for incontinence issues as it prevents liquids from penetrating the mattress.
Hygienic: Zorgmatrasses are typically designed with hygiene in mind and can be easily cleaned to maintain a clean and healthy environment.
In general, the primary purpose of a zorgmatras is to improve patient comfort and health and to assist caregivers in their work. The exact features and specifications of zorgmatrasses can vary depending on their intended use and the needs of the patient.
