and an egress option. The Egress option also rises three inches above the mattress but features a
three inch drop in the middle of the side bolster to aide with the egress and ingress of the patient from the
mattress.
Covering the entire M2500 and Aire Select Safety Mattress assembly is a low-friction, low-shear producing,
vapor permeable, nylon top sheet. The top sheet surface creates a membrane impermeable to liquids, air
and bacteria though still permeable to water vapor. Quilted onto the base of the Mattress top sheet is a spun
bonded polyester fiberfill that exhibits less frictional resistance to nylon than that of the patient's skin. When
the patient moves, the top sheet tends to move relative to the air cells rather than relative to the patient,
minimizing shearing effects. Additionally, the quilting acts to provide a diffusion layer by which the water
vapor can be drawn away from the patient, resulting in more efficient evaporation and subsequent reduced
skin maceration. A Dartex Silver3® cover option is also available for the Aire Select Mattress series.
