McKesson Convoluted Foam Mattress Overlay Pad - 72" x 20" x 2" Pressure Relief Topper for Bed Sores, Ulcers & Decubitus Care - Blue (Pack of 12) - Ideal for Hospital Beds, Home Care & Elderly Pressure Sore Prevention

Convoluted Foam Mattress Overlay Pad The McKesson mattress topper overlay pad is used to increase the comfort of those in bed for prolonged periods of time or for after surgery. The foam topper evenly distributes body weight to help them avoid pressure ulcers and tissue breakdown which can occur when skin presses against a firm surface such as a mattress. Even weight distribution helps reduce pressure on areas of the body such as heels, ankles, tailbone, and hips. The blue convoluted foam, similar in design to an egg crate, promotes air circulation for enhanced comfort. This easy-to-use mattress topper comes in four sizes: 33 x 72 x 2 inches, 33 x 72 x 3 inches, 33 x 72 x 4 inches and 20 x 72 x 2 inches. Choose a thinner or thicker topper based on the amount of support needed.

This can help avoid sores on pressure points such as ankles and hips. The extra foam layer on top of a mattress provides added comfort, especially for bony parts of the body such as the tailbone and heels, for someone who needs to be in bed for a prolonged period of time. Provides Air Circulation This blue foam care pad has peaks and valleys that promote air circulation that a flat mattress can't provide. This can offer added comfort for patients with fragile skin or for those needing an extended stay in bed. The ridges of the egg-crate design topper make it highly breathable and can help regulate body temperature. Heat is more easily dispersed throughout the mattress pad, which can help provide the right environment for a more comfortable night's rest. Different Sizes and Levels of Support Choose from a variety of sizes depending on patient needs. The three mattress pad styles are 33 inches wide and 72 inches long – about the size of a twin bed – and come in 2-inch, 3-inch, or 4-inch foam thicknesses. The thicker the pad, the stronger the support, which allows for customization for each patient based on their needs. If a thinner width pad is required, a topper that's 20 inches wide and 72 inches long with a 2-inch thickness is available.
