4 ANTIDECUBITUS MISTRAL MATTRESS Among the aids bedsore mattress Mistral is configured as the latest innovation in the field of prevention and prophylaxis of diseases ulcers. The cases of pressure sores decubitus are very common and relate to patients confined to bed for long periods Medical Device Causes The main local cause that gives rise to the injury is the prolonged pressure. The suffering of the tissues occurs when the forces acting on a point on the skin exceed the blood pressure present in the arterial and venous capillaries. If the compression DIRECTIVE 93/42/CEE 04
5 persists over time in cells these produces anoxia and acidosis resulting in cell death. Some scientific research (Munro 1940) were employed to evaluate the correlation between the duration of the pressure exerted by the weight and the onset of skin lesions. They showed that the surface of the skin, the subcutaneous tissue and muscle layer, undergo pathological changes if it is exercised on the part of the constant pressure of the body for over two hours. Pressure from 60 to 80 mmhg, maintained during a period of time ranging from 2 to 3 hours, threatens to cause a pressure sore In addition to the body pressure, can contribute to the formation of skin lesions also cutting forces and clutch. The shear forces acting on the bedridden person in a sitting position. The person gradually sliding towards the bottom of the bed 05
6 determines the flow of the deep layers (muscles, tendons, etc..) On the skin and subcutaneous tissue. The movement of one layer on, causing the kinking of the arteriolar and capillary vascular system with the aggravation of ischemic factors. The frictional forces act directly on the outer layer of skin, removing one hand and making the skin thinner and more vulnerable to the effect of pressure. For example, the frictional force is exerted on the surface of the sheets on the outer layer of the epidermis when the patient is dragged to the movements in the bed. The pressure sores (or pressure ulcer) involves the epidermis, dermis and subcutaneous layers until, in severe cases, muscles and bones, is commonly known as the scourge. 06
7 The pressure ulcers are often caused by lack of techniques to prevent the misuse of aids and bedsore. The phenomena of mechanical (frictional forces and friction in tissue) are associated with overheating of the parts subjected to compression. This is due to inflammation but also to the lack of breathing, that is insufficient or even absent movement of air between the contact area and the mattress. The air, or the movement within the socalled anti-decubitus aids, play a key role in the prevention and treatment of disease pressure ulcers, especially when it comes to static devices. A wound breathe, or sprayed from a stream of air that is constantly renewing itself, undergoes a sort of oxygen that prevents overheating of the tissues with considerable benefit to 07
8 the patient. If air circulation are associated with the effects obtained from a mattress that is continually adapting to the anatomical shape, the pressure that will impinge on the surface will be completely contained ill than you would if the mattress was very hard and, therefore, not deformable under the action of the weight. (Shown with arrows in the opposite direction) Area that does not Area that does not deform Follows the contours of the body Specific adaptation to the weight 08
9 The new system applied to the bedsore mattress. In the construction of a bedsore mattress play a fundamental role: - Components - Technology - Reliability and safety of the product Components 09
10 The MISTRAL The breathability, adaptability to anatomical shapes and Hygiene are the guidelines in the selection of components. The search for Ovattificio Fortunato has identified and created a product that fully meets these needs: the MISTRAL. It is a pad where the two-dimensional surfaces are woven mesh. The main body is made of wire and positioned vertically so as to confer the desired thickness and elasticity. The orientation of the wires gives importance to the product, allowing for elastic recovery of 100% in 2 seconds. - Breathability The network structure and orientation of the wires in the central body.the product under compression, since the immediate 10
11 elastic recovery, it behaves like a bellows, allowing, thus, the air circulation.» Fresh Air Matress Cover - Adapting to the anatomical shapes The orientation of the wires and the texture of the same density, means that each wire carries the action of a micro independent of each other. This allows 11
12 the effect of constant adjustments to the forms and complete refund of the thickness. The special texture, vertical orientation of thousands of wires in the main body, ensure that you delete the undesirable effect of ditching body on the mattress. Through the use of various types of Mistral (Soft, Strong version thickness from 1.5 cm to 4 cm, a density of between 35 and 75 g / cc can modulate the mattress according to the patient s body weight. - Water repellency This feature is enhanced by the raw material used (polyester), which in itself is waterproof. The network structure of surfaces and the arrangement of wires the thickness component accentuate this 12
13 feature, giving the product the ability to prevent water from stagnating inside and promoting the release to the outside. Technology The technology came from research Ovattificio Fortunato that he patented.» Box Mistral 13
14 The heart of the mattress is provided by Mistral, this brings an external frame made of polyurethane Voractiv which gives strength and durability to the product. Reliability and Safety The use of safe materials and first quality, product reliability is born. The reliability tests place the product in a high court having earned the Good Quality of German control by the LGA. Security is certified by Oeko-Tex Class I (chemical safety of the product). 14
15 Spectographic map by XSENSR TEST The analysis evidences the pressure zones exercised from the body in rest position on the Mattress Mistral and Fresh Air Matterss Cover. Considering that the body always remains to contact with the Mistral, it is clear as the action antidecubitus of the produced favors the blood circulation without to allow areas of vascular compression. (red areas). 15
16 Analysis refers to an adult with a body weight of 110 kg placed on the side. Comment: consindering a significant body weight, the more surface contact areas (pelvis, shoulder) did not show significant areas of vascular pressure. 16
17 Analysis refers to an adult with a body weight of 110 kg on supine position. Comment: in this position, owing to a low pressure exerted by the compression of the vessels, you will not have bedsores. 17
18 Analysis refers to an adult with a body weight of 93 kg positioned on the side. Comment: there is no stress conditions that may generate vascular bed sores. 18
19 Analysis refers to an adult with a body weight of 93 kg in the supine position. Comment: The absence of compression zones on the vessels is the evidence of anti-bedsore. 19
20 Analysis refers to an adult with a body weight of 48 kg positioned on the side. Comment: with refering to the body weight, analysis shows the total absence of areas with vascular compression. 20
