CuroCell® IQ Cirrus is used as an aid in the prevention and treatment of pressure ulcers up to and including category 4 and unclassified pressure ulcers/pressure injuries(1). It is a replacement system suitable for all healthcare environments. CuroCell® IQ Cirrus combines air with a soft foam surface and provides good user comfort and pressure redistribution(3). The added heel function offers pressure redistribution on the heels.
CuroCell® IQ Cirrus has an automatic control unit with a user-friendly interface. The mattress system regulates independently and without manual adjustment the inner pressure of the mattress to different values based on the user’s weight and position. No manual action needs to be done to adjust the internal pressure of the mattress.
The control unit is equipped with the Pulsating Mode™. With the Pulsating Mode™, the benefits from constant low pressure (reduced maximum pressure) and the pressure relieving effect of the dynamic mode are combined. The Pulsating Mode™ means that the pressure alternates and cells are emptied, but not completely.
This gives a lower maximum pressure against the skin and slight movements in the mattress, which contributes to increased comfort and stability. The clinical effect of the Pulsating Mode™ has been investigated in scientific studies where both tissue perfusion, as well as prevention and therapeutic effect is measured(7)(8).
Covers for comfort and hygiene
All mattresses are supplied with a four way stretch hygienic cover which meets standards for hygiene, quality and safety(9).
