RIK Fluid Pressure Prevention Overlay features:

Pressure redistribution
• MicroFlow™ is a viscous fluid that is designed to conform to the shape of bony prominences to redistribute pressure equally without “hammocking” or surface tension.

As effective as active surfaces
• In a study of 158 patients, 67% of pressure injuries improved in patients on the RIK mattress (n=75).¹ The study concluded that the RIK static mattress system may prove as effective as active mattress systems for appropriate patients.¹

Patient transfer
• Firm foam around the perimeter provides a support edge for patient egress. The V-shaped cuts allow for bending of the mattress when the head and foot sections are elevated.

Uses standard hospital flat sheets
• Sheet attachments located along the sides allow most standard hospital flat sheets to be attached loosely to eliminate “hammocking”.
