Тhe anti-decubitus mattress that also addresses atelectasis
The Morphemat® is a flexible mat with two air compartments that are inflated separately to reposition patients in the ICU every two hours. By using compressed air, Morphemat reduces the burden on healthcare workers while giving perfect care to the patients.
Positioning therapy is the best practice to prevent complications associated with the prolonged bed rest in the ICU 1. Scientific studies 2,3 show that rotating immobile ICU patients every 2 hours brings benefits for the patient’s skin condition, cardiovascular status, musculoskeletal system, oxygenation, but it is ergonomically challenging for the nursing staff.
Since some patients require only temporary repositioning, such as those with a collapsed lung or atelectasis, the Morphemat proves to be the ideal solution, as it allows for effortless sliding and removal from beneath the patient.

It is recommended to reposition ICU patients every 2hours. This brings benefits for patient’s skin condition, cardiovascular status, musculoskeletal system and oxygenation.
