Forté Alaise Advanced Hybrid Static Care Support Surface

The Forté Alaise is an advanced Hybrid Static Care Support Surface combining together the pressure redistribution benefits of both foam and air. Utilising a series of 13+ individual Air Cells, it offers excellent comfort, anatomical support and pressure redistribution. The Alaise is ideal for long-term care applications where maximum pressure care is required with virtually zero maintenance.

Key Features

Airoform response immersion interface layer
High open-cell elasticity for temperate stability and to maximise functionality and patient mobility. Maximises Patient contact with Support Surfaces Providing Pressure Redistribution
4 x Anatomically zoned air cell structure
Maximum contact area is achieved using 5 separate ‘banks’ of air cells arranged in zones corresponding to anatomical locations, and a total of 13 individual, self-regulating air cells (on a single). Each bank provides tailored immersion and envelopment relative to the specific size and weight of the individual.
Support / Anti-Shear Reservoir
The knee pit or popliteal is typically an area of the body that is not in contact with the support surface. This allows some air from the sacral region to redistribute to the posterior of the knee.

Reactive support surfaces

A Reactive support surface is a powered or non-powered support surface with the capability to change its load distribution properties only in response to applied load. Reactive support surfaces may be powered (active) or nonpowered (static). In comparison to an alternating pressure relieving mattress, reactive surfaces provide a constant low-pressure profile whereby the pressure at every contact point is reduced. The patient is able to immersion and is enveloped by the surface which increases the area of contact with the patient’s body and the reactive support surface.

Other Features

Full length & width pressure care surface
No matter where an individual is situated on the mattress and no matter what size mattress is used, the Alaise has been designed to always have the air cells across the full width of the mattress. The Alaise will include a Full Width Air System across all sizes from Single through to Queen and King, therefore Pressure Care is then guaranteed
Sloped heel pressure transfer and protection zone
The Alaise ensures that the heels are fully protected with dedicated air cells incorporating a heel slope with a softer Immersion area. Heel slop Offloads pressure from the patient’s heels and transfers it to calf area
Premium firm foundation layer and hinged strengthened sides
Unique hinge profile reduces foam fatigue and allow mattress to easily conform to varied bed positions. The Increase lateral stability of support surface Improves patient safety and encourages central patient positioning
