Zero pressure heel Offloader
Protect vulnerable heels with the OSKA Offloader to suspend heels for ‘zero pressure’ making it suitable as an aid in the prevention & treatment of heel ulcers up to & including Category 4.
ToughWeld & V-Guard Technology
Strong, pliable mattress cover stands up to the rigorous cleaning demands of healthcare environments. OSKA’s unique ToughWeld seams prevent ingress of bodily fluids into the mattress.
Microclimate management
The highly responsive Aerolite foam has microclimate properties which allows air to flow through the foam keeping the body cool and dry, important in preventing pressure ulcers from forming.
The Aerolite foam makes up the top pressure relieving layer and Offloader feature found on the Series2 and Series4 mattresses.
Protect vulnerable heels
The heel relief slope is designed with a decline at the foot end to assist in the prevention of heel pressure ulcers, one of the most vulnerable areas on the body.
Fire evacuation base
In the event of a fire, protect patients/residents from pressure ulcer development.
Simply use the mattress as an evacuation surface with our unique and innovative evacuation system - pull out the straps and secure your patient to the mattress using the velcro fasteners.
Handles are located on the head end of the mattress to allow you to move your patient safely.
OSKA Selector
With no clear algorithm or selection guide it can be difficult to know what mattress you should be selecting for your patients. To make this clear, OSKA has devised a system, the OSKA Selector, to help carers identify if the patient is on the correct mattress.*With clinical assessment*Support surface assessment requires holistic assessment and cannot be decided on risk assessment score alone (EPUAP 2015).

What others think
The Series2 is very different from what we currently have because it has some very valuable features. Firstly, it has a heel Offloader which has proven in reducing redness of the heels and can technically treat up to a category 4 pressure ulcer as it provides an environment of zero pressure.Secondly, it significantly reduces risk of death caused by fire as it has a fire evacuation base incorporated into the mattress – as do all the mattresses in the OSKA range. This means that in the event of a fire we can reduce downtime transferring residents from the bed and don’t need to depend on the 1 fire evacuation sled in the home for all 30-40 residents. It also means we don’t need to spend any money on slide sheets

I feel this mattress is fantastic for someone who is being nursed at the end of their life. The reduction in pressure relief turns required means that the resident and their loved ones can cherish each and every moment, without having to step outside regularly to allow staff to turn the resident.The mattress allows staff to assess and trust in the movement in pressure relief to prevent pressure areas deteriorating at the end of life. A product that will become our trustworthy end of life mattress!

The Series2 mattress has recently been used with a client who had returned from hospital very frail. The Service User was not enjoying the Air flow Mattress which had been used after hospital discharge due to an increase in Waterlow assessment and Category 1 pressure areas.After 6 weeks the service user has made a full recovery and her skin integrity has improved with the use of the Series2. Overall we have had a very positive experience with the Mattress trial and the Service User has enjoyed a comfortable mattress. I would definitely recommend other Services to trial these mattresses.

The gentleman had used an air mattress for some time and disliked it intensely. He found the pump noisy and the mattress uncomfortable. The gentleman agreed to trial an OSKA mattress but ‘didn’t have much hope’ that it would be any good.The day after his first night sleeping on this, I walked on to the community ward and saw the gentleman sat in the dining area eating his breakfast. He beamed at me and gave me a thumbs up. I asked why he was looking so cheerful, he told me ‘my new bed, it’s good’.I asked him what he liked, he told me he didn’t really know, he just knew that it was comfortable and his old one wasn’t. I asked if he fancied keeping it – he told me I wasn’t taking it back!I checked in most mornings and got the same grin and thumbs up for at least 2 weeks afterward. Complete success from his point of view and ours as an MDT as his skin is looking very healthy.
