Abstract (en)
[origin: WO0003625A2] The mattress and the command unit, according to the invention, are enabling the exchange of supporting area while obtaining, maintaining, reproducing and selfadjusting an optimal operating pressure in the chambers, taking into account the body weight and posture as well as the anthropological measures of the patient. The mattress height is twice or more the chamber width, allowing the better utilization of contact surfaces in depth and on mattress surface which results in lower operating pressure. The mattress enables fitting of contact surfaces to the body shape, and selection of patterns and chamber diameters optimal for undisturbed blood circulation. The mattress is very easy maintainable: it is simple to wash, dries quickly, ventilates spontaneously; it can be ventilated and heated artificially. Its purpose is a comfortable sitting, laying, leaning, decubitus prevention, decubitus healing and preventing of new decubitus wounds appearance. The mattress can be used as a supplement to beds, chairs, wheelchairs, vehicle seats, as a support to lean a head, as an aid bedstead to be used directly on floor or ground. The last is an advantage in circumstances of war or catastrophes. MUTI is significantly cheaper than similar antidecubitus mattresses.
