Plexus TruTurn Therapeutic Mattress. This deep-cell, low-air-loss mattress is designed to supply effective lateral rotation therapy for patients while reducing the physical demands on caregivers. The mattress provides effective therapy for the prevention and treatment of pressure ulcers through independently controlled deep air cells configured in a modular design. Using Active Sensor Technology, each cell continuously monitors the patient's position and makes the adjustments needed to restore the optimal level of support, eliminating the need for hand checks and manual adjustments, according to the manufacturer. The device has the ability to turn patients up to 40 degrees and can be programmed to provide continual lateral rotation therapy that can help prevent and treat pressure ulcers, as well as help to prevent complications associated with immobility. The mattress also offers low air loss to help prevent skin maceration by managing microclimate and wicking away moisture.
