RIK Fluid Pressure Prevention Overlay by Arjo

The RIK Fluid Overlay is a non-powered, fluid-based mattress overlay that provides pressure redistribution through immersion and envelopment.

The overlay utilizes MicroFlow™ technology, a viscous fluid which is designed to conform to the user’s body and help to minimize interface pressures. The RIK Fluid Overlay surface reduces the contact pressure at the skin-overlay interface by increasing the surface area over which the individual is supported. As the user moves, so too will the MicroFlow™, ensuring that pressure redistribution is maintained without the need for a powered pump.

In studies, the RIK system has shown to be as effective as an active mattress system for appropriate patients.

The overlay can be attached to most mattresses and is indicated for use in patients at high risk of pressure injuries.

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”.
