Ultimate Comfort and Prevention of Pressure Sores for Those up to High Risk
The Thermo contour ® Therapy surface is designed for pressure reduction for patients up to high-risk of pressure ulcers. The newest generation, lightweight, visco-elastic foam reacts to weight, body shape and temperature, and will adjust to distribute weight evenly providing low pressures and enhanced patient comfort. The multistretch cover helps reduce shear and friction as well as being waterproof, vapour permeable, bacteriostatic, fungostatic, non slip and easy to clean.
A new generation of lightweight, visco-elastic foam products, designed for pressure ulcer prevention. Offering excellent pressure relief and comfort, Thermo contour products will help you provide cost-effective, quality care for patients up to a high risk of developing pressure ulcers.

Strikethrough is where degeneration (Hydrolysis) of the polyurethane membrane occurs under the influence of heat and moisture, causing failure of the water barrier properties. This is witnessed as cracking open of the membrane allowing ingress of fluids through the cover into the foam. The recognised causes of strikethrough are twofold, The design of most Therapy surfaces allows both sides to be used, lending itself to the above conditions, as the product is washed, left damp and turned onto a non breathable base. Secondly as bed occupancy increases, it is well recognised that the PU material currently used is not strong enough to withstand these conditions.
The uniquely designed welded cover of the Thermo contour® Therapy surface meets the highest standards in prevention of strike through, covered by a 5 year warranty.
On top of that the Therapy surface features: waterproof, vapour permeable, bacteriostatic and fungostatic, non slip underside, easy to clean and built-in carry handles. Due to the design of the Therapy surface there is no need to turn or rotate it.
Because the cover is multi stretch it conforms to the patient’s body-shape, helping reduce sheer and friction.
Cost-effective due to long product life and no nonsense warranty.
Australian Standards have been developed to ensure equipment meets recognised safety and reliability criteria. To achieve this status, equipment must pass a series of tests in which it is put under difficult conditions that are designed to be similar to those that the child or adult may face when the equipment is used. For example, wheelchairs are tested for safhas gained Australian Standard acceptance, it provides a sense of satisfaction and reassurance that it is safe to be used and will do the job.
