Introduction

The anti-decubitus soft positioning mattress GRAVIMED
Baritexx has been specially developed for decubitus
prophylaxis and to support therapy up to and including
decubitus category 3 and is suitable for patients up to
250 kg.
The GRAVIMED Baritexx is equipped with a viscoelastic
bed surface in order to achieve the best possible cushio-

mattress does not replace the regular repositioning of
the patient!
