Proactive Medical Protekt 600 Bariatric Pressure Redistribution Foam Mattress

Protekt® 600 Bariatric Pressure Redistribution Foam Mattress: High-Capacity Dual-Layer Core for High-Risk Heavy-Use Environments

Institutional facilities, acute care wards, and long-term care environments encounter severe clinical and structural challenges when managing bariatric patients who are at a medium-to-high risk of developing pressure injuries. Traditional bariatric mattresses often suffer from material "bottoming out" under heavy physiological loads, which creates dangerous interface pressures and localized shear at key bony prominences. The Protekt® 600 Bariatric Therapeutic Foam Mattress directly addresses this clinical vulnerability by using a heavy-duty, dual-layer resilient foam architecture engineered to maintain structural integrity and distribute weight evenly across high-capacity profiles.

The core configuration of the Protekt 600 relies on a specialized multi-density layout to manage extreme loads without sacrificing patient comfort. The top surface layer features a high-resilient, high-density die-cut foam that conforms dynamically to the bariatric patient's anatomy, providing deep body immersion and immediate pressure relief. Underneath this comfort layer lies an ultra-firm, ultra-high-density base foam foundation. This high-capacity core acts as an unyielding support stratum that prevents the mattress from collapsing under continuous heavy weight, maintaining spinal alignment and stabilizing the patient during positioning adjustments.

Engineered for demanding bariatric environments, the Protekt 600 incorporates essential features to simplify infection control and asset lifecycle management. It is enclosed in a vapor-permeable, low-shear stretch nylon top cover that lowers moisture vapor transmission rates to control perspiration and shield the patient's skin from friction. The mattress bottom consists of a reinforced, triple-laminate vinyl cover that resists institutional fluids and prevents slipping on wide bariatric frames. Secured with a full-perimeter 360-degree zipper hidden beneath a protective Anti-Contamination Flap, the internal core remains safely isolated from hazardous fluid ingress, delivering a long-lasting, hygienic solution for facility managers, safety officers, and clinicians.

Key Benefits:

• High-Capacity Dual-Layer Engineering: Combines a high-resilient die-cut top layer for body immersion with an ultra-firm, high-density base foundation to completely eliminate the risk of structural bottoming out.
• Robust Weight Capacity Scaling: Structural core support scales dynamically based on width options, accommodating extreme patient weights ranging from 600 lbs up to 1,000 lbs safely.
• Superior Pressure Injury Mitigation: Specially engineered for Level 2 bariatric care to safely redistribute weight for patients who spend extended periods in bed or cannot independently shift positions.
• Advanced Microclimate and Shear Defense: High-performance stretch nylon top layer lowers skin friction and shear forces while remaining fluid-resistant, anti-microbial, and anti-bacterial.
• 360° Anti-Contamination Enclosure: Features a heavy-duty full-perimeter zipper covered by a protective flap to prevent dangerous fluid migration into the core during routine clinical sanitation.
• Optional Integrated Side Bolsters: Available with an optional 9-inch raised perimeter rail system (-RR models) to stabilize the edge of the mattress and prevent accidental patient falls or rolling.
