CuroCell® AREA Zone is used as an aid in the prevention and treatment of pressure ulcers up to category 3(1).
Recommended user weight is up to 230 kg(2). It is a mattress system that combines air with foam for effective
pressure redistribution and great comfort. The mattress is self-adjusting and non-powered. It is a flexible mattress
replacement system that can be used in all kinds of healthcare settings, easy to use and handle. CuroCell® AREA
Zone is specially designed to be used as an effective aid for preventing pressure ulcers. The mattress has good
properties regarding pressure, shear and moisture(2,3), three important elements related to effective prevention or
treatment of pressure ulcers. The mattress system combines foam with air for effective pressure redistribution. It
contains nine air cells that are divided into zones, which adapt automatically to the user and provides an individual
setting. It is built up with multiple layers of high quality foam. The mattress’ special design reduces shear forces
and with the built-in sloped heel function it also reduces pressure on the heel. CuroCell® AREA Zone has very
good pressure redistribution properties and has received a rating of “High pressure relief”(2) in external tests. When
tested, the mattress’ capacity of pressure redistribution (PAI) it is reported that 100% of the pressure on the
mattress is below the threshold of 30 mmHg (load 80 kg).
Care of Sweden’s mattresses are supplied with a four-way stretch hygienic outer cover which conforms to relevant
standards for hygiene(4), quality and safety. All covers are manufactured from modern, recyclable materials and are
vapour permeable(5), which reduce the risk of skin maceration.
