SYNTHETO Hybrid Surface

Smart and flexible hybrid surface

 

Provide the care each patient needs — and be ready to adapt at a moment’s notice. The Syntheto hybrid pressure relief surface offers the comfort of foam with the therapeutic advantages of air when it’s required, as pressure ulcers can develop in as little as one hour.1

Syntheto is also a smart, connected* surface that sends patient and surface data2, notifications and reminders remotely.

Overview

Not Your Average Hospital Bed Mattress:
The SYNTHETO Hybrid Surface Does More, So You Can Too.

Designed for your medical-surgical departments (Med-Surg), the Syntheto hybrid surface is designed to help streamline clinical workflows, impact the patient experience and share timely data — where and when you need it.

Support Safety & Comfort

Expect more than a hospital bed mattress. This surface is designed for comfort and ready to support skin protection specialized therapies3, 4 if complications arise.

Improve Efficiency

Support your busy staff by helping to avoid time-consuming and costly transfers, rentals and searches for specialized equipment.

Stay Connected

Tap into the smart connectivity you need to stay informed on patient and/or surface status2 — so you can react to patient needs more quickly.

Assist in the Prevention and Treatment of Pressure Ulcers with Pressure Relief Surfaces3,4

The prevalence of Pressure Ulcers (PU) in Europe is 10.8%.5 The Syntheto surface brings the comfort of foam and the therapeutic performance of air therapy to hospital bed mattresses. This flexible combination is designed to help protect patients’ skin integrity and treat pressure ulcers with specialized therapies when needed.

  • Help maintain low interface pressure with alternating pressure (AP) therapy mode
  • Help turn patients easily with patient mobilization mode and reminders*
  • Manage heat and moisture at the interface between the patient’s body and the surface with MicroClimate Management (MCM)* 6-9

Support Skin Integrity with Greater Mobilization

Patient mobilization and repositioning are an important part of pressure ulcer prevention.10 That’s why the Syntheto surface is designed to help you:

  • Increase turn engagement with the Turn Reminder feature*
  • Turn patients more easily with the Patient Mobilization mode*, achieving up to 36% reduction in effort required to turn patient11
  • Reduce interface pressure in the sacral area by an average of 14% with Pressure Ulcer Mode*, compared to using traditional pillows12

Be Alerted to Physiological Indicators of a  Patient's Condition13

As a second set of eyes, the contact-free, continuous monitoring system* is complimentary to episodic and continuous vital signs monitors and alerts the caregiver of heart or respiratory rates that exceed the pre-determined thresholds.

Support Clinical Efficiency and Cost Efficiency

Help to reduce time-consuming and potentially risky patient transfers and additional expenditure on dynamic surfaces, by having one surface that can meet the demands of all levels (grade 1-4) of patient pressure ulcer risk. 

The Syntheto surface’s integrated pump enables flexible skin therapy as patients need it, with the touch of a button, without risking disconnection and reducing time spent searching for parts.

And the optional integrated X-ray cassette sleeve provides ease of use for medical technicians and reduces the time to perform in-bed x-rays.

Stay Connected to Patient and Surface Status

A traditional hospital bed mattress can’t keep you connected — but the Syntheto surface can. Stay connected even when you’re not in your patients’ rooms with:

  • Timely alerts — patient exit, HR and/or RR thresholds*, and turn reminders — to bring clinicians to the bedside for faster interventions
  • Connectivity to send a large set of data2 allowing the caregiver to have a remote access to clinical data and surface status on the nurse’s station or EMR

*Optional feature. Please check availability with your local Baxter representative.
