Middle of the range, the IC20 proves to be popular for most. The medium feel provides a soft feel but excellent support.
How pressure care works with the IC20: This IC20 medium mattress is heat and pressure sensitive which means that as it gets warmer it becomes softer. So when there is a pressure point developing which usually gets hot and enflamed, this area of the mattress will become softer which allows the blood to flow freely again.
Pressure Care
This rating is based on our average peak pressure of <19mmHg. For some high risk clients Icare Zerotec covers are recommended.
Icare risk category ratings are based on average peak pressure, Therapist recommendation, case studies, industry comparison and the Waterlow scale. For some high risk clients Icare Zerotec covers are recommended. The best way to assess a client on a pressure reducing surface is to monitor pressure points with visual checks over a period of 5 days.
Pressure Redistribution
The IC20 mattress features the ActiveX™ 84 material is the main comfort layer in this mattress. ActiveX™ is a high grade of elastic type foam which is responsive to temperature around inflamed areas. ActiveX™ will become softer as it becomes warmer. So around a pressure point it will always soften and allow the blood to circulate freely.
Solid Support Foam Base
XP Support foam is a high-density foam that is used in the bottom layer of the IC20. XP Support foam is an open cell material that breaths to allow air circulation but is high density to prevent bottoming out. This material will easily contour to any profiling bed.
Temperature Regulating Cover
The IC20 cover is made with the new Bluetec cooling fabric. This is all way stretch fabric to conform with body and mattress contour. It is under woven with a cooling yarn to regulate body temperature.
Ventilated Base Fabric
Vant fabric is a three-dimensional polypropylene material that has high air permeability and is anti-bacterial. We use this on the side wall of the IC20 mattress covers to greatly increase air movement.
Mattress Cover Options
Icare ActiveX™ Mattresses are available with a variety of covers depending on your independent needs. The standard Bluetec Cover is woven with a cooling yarn to help with body temperature, and has an anti-shear layer to assist with bed mobility.
