“H60 Mattresses were purchased by the Coronary Care Unit six and a half years ago and I am delighted to recommend them as a very effective and economical product. Patients have found the mattress very comfortable and staff have found it very easy to use, as there is no need to turn the mattress. The pressure relieving properties in the H60 mattress are excellent, patients have not developed pressure sores and we have had no need to purchase or rent motorised or pressure relieving mattresses in the Coronary Care Unit since the purhcase of these mattresses.”

“It is the unanimous opinion of the nursing staff that the H60 mattress is, by a wide margin, the safest, most effective and comfortable unit which they have ever used.”

“We have twelve mattresses in use. Since their introduction I have been able to make considerable savings on the hire of low air loss mattresses and I am within budget for the first time. I have demonstrated that these mattresses are saving me money which I was spending on mattress hire.”

“This mattress seems to be ideal for use with elderly residents with reduced mobility. Cushions used in conjunction with the mattress would be ideal.”

“It would be a great advantage if every resident could benefit from one of these mattresses, replacing the ordinary home’s divan and helping to prevent pressure sores developing.”

“Since November 21 patients have been put on the H60 (mattress). 90% of the patients are over 65 years old. The mattresses are used for anti-decubitus (prevention). Patients varied from those absolutely immobile, those in surgical trauma, those with neck of femur fractures, and those for long term care. The H60 anti-decubitus mattress was effective as a preventive measure in all (these) cases.”

“This patient was an 87 years old female (Norton 5 / Waterlow 37) with more lesions and an infected one (Pseudomonas Aeruginosa) on the left buttock. We used H60 for 6 months. The infection was rooted out using antibiotic systemic therapy within 3 weeks and no more occurred.”

“Patients with Waterlow scores under 25 did not develop pressure sores on the (H60) mattress.”

“Clinical staff Yasumi Matsubara and Mikiko Kawamura at Kitasato Higashi Hospital carried out a survey for comfort and patient handling on H60 mattress for 7 days. 10 cancer patients in age group 61 to 82 were tended 69 times by nurses in that time. No patient developed a pressure ulcer, the patients felt secure and comfortable compared to the previous mattresses used. Patients could be easily put to bed, and getting out of bed proved easy due to the firm edge. Hospital staff commented that the H60 mattress has a higher level of stability while not restricting individual movement which could prevent pressure ulcers.”

“We do indeed find the H60 Leg Supports excellent. They are really one of a very few of the effective measures for preventing heel ulceration and for encouraging healing of heel ulceration. They are my first choice and we have been very pleased with the outcome of their use.”
