Solace mattresses are unique dual- and tri-layered foam formulations. They are
designed to prevent and relieve pressure ulcers by distributing weight as uniformly as
possible, and allowing blood to flow through the capillaries in areas prone to lesion
development.*
The Prevention, Therapy, and Resolution mattress systems offer good, better
and best solutions in static support surfaces. Within each category, the
products also reflect increasing treatment efficacy.
The unique and patented designs combine comfort
and technology for patient and caregiver
confidence. The mattresses are available
in standard 80" lengths with the ability
to special order 76" and 84" lengths.
* Many support surfaces have been shown to improve pressure ulcers, however there is no
compelling evidence that one performs better than all others in all circumstances. It is best
to consider the therapeutic benefits of the products when determining which to use.

Zoned top layer relieves pressure in the important
susceptible body zones. The convoluted “fortress” cut
design offers more surface area for patient support and
relief. Two layers of high quality foam include softer head
and heel sections.
MEDICARE CRITERIA*
Support surfaces may be static (non-
p
owered, reactive) or dynamic (moveable,
active). A static surface is recommended
if a patient can assume varying positions
without bearing weight on a pressure
ulcer. Dynamic surfaces are required if
t
he patient cannot change positions
without bearing weight on the pressure
ulcer OR if the patient fully compresses
the static support surface.
Group I Treatment
Group I surfaces may be covered if the
patient meets the following criteria:
1. Completely immobile (patient cannot
move around without assistance).
OR
2. Limited mobility (patient cannot make
changes in body positions significant
enough to alleviate pressure) PLUS
one of Number 4-7.
OR
3. Any stage pressure ulcer on the trunk
or pelvis PLUS one of Numbers 4-7
OR
4. Impaired nutritional status.
5. Fecal or urinary incontinence.
6. Altered sensory perception.
7. Compromised circulatory status.
