Pressure-Relief Mattresses & Support Surfaces, DuPage County

• **Group 1 Support Surfaces:** Multi-layered therapeutic foam and gel-polymer mattress overlays that redistribute body weight across larger surface areas to relieve pressure over bony prominences. • **Group 2 Support Surfaces:** Motorized alternating-pressure air pump mattresses and low-air-loss systems. Air bladders rhythmically inflate and deflate on automated cycles, regularly shifting pressure away from the sacrum, hips, and heels while keeping the skin microclimate cool and dry. • **Bariatric Pressure Mattresses:** Specialized high-capacity therapeutic mattresses built for patients weighing 400 to 1,000 lbs.

Medicare Part B covers Group 1 surfaces for patients who are bed-bound or unable to shift weight, or who have impaired nutritional status or compromised circulation. Group 2 alternating pressure systems (E0277) are covered when the patient has multiple stage II pressure ulcers, a stage III or IV ulcer on the trunk/pelvis, or when a flap or graft has been performed within the prior 60 days. Our clinical coordination team works directly with wound care specialists to secure rapid approval.

All our therapeutic support surfaces are sized to fit standard 36in × 80in hospital bed frames seamlessly. We deliver, install, connect pump lines, calibrate pressure dials to patient weight, and verify vapor-permeable cover integrity during setup.

Treating an advanced bedsore is painful, dangerous, and expensive. Implementing a specialized pressure-redistributing mattress during early bed confinement is the single most effective intervention to safeguard patient skin integrity.
