THERAPY2 Dynamic Surface
Our Premium Smart Surface for Vulnerable Patients with Continuous (CLP) and Alternating Low Pressure (ALP) Modes.
The Therapy2 surface is a standalone full air surface designed to manage your vulnerable patients, those on the ICU and stepdown environments.
With support for pulmonary therapy protocols, advanced skin protection therapy modes and more, the Therapy2 surface is specially equipped to help in the prevention of common complications associated with immobility.1-5
The Future of Support Surfaces

More Than Just a Surface.
Meet an Air Surface Designed for Today’s Healthcare Organizations.
The Therapy2 therapeutic dynamic surface has integrated features to assist in prevention and treatment of pressure ulcers 3-7 and pulmonary complications associated with immobility 1-2, with pulmonary and skin features designed with vulnerable patients in mind. It’s an advanced hospital mattress ideally suited for Intensive Care (ICU) and Stepdown (SDU) Units.
Assist in Prevention and Treatment of Pressure Injuries3-7 and Pulmonary Complications Associated with Patient Immobility.1-2
The Therapy2 surface is designed to help you to:
- Laterally reposition the patient to reduce the interface pressure in the sacral area and increase turn engagement8,9 with turn reminders.
- Deliver programmable pulmonary therapies, including Continuous Lateral Rotation Therapy (CLRT) to assist in the prevention and treatment of pulmonary complications associated with patient immobility.1,2
- Easily implement patient prone positioning whilst patient is intubated10 to improve lung efficiency with the optional Prone Position Mode.
- Effectively remove excess heat and moisture away from patient’s skin at the interface between the patient’s body and the mattress with the Microclimate Management (MCM) system.11-14
- React to patients needs faster by having visibility at the nurse’s station or the EMR to a large set of patient and surface data sets (patient exit alerts, heart rate, respiratory rate, active time and remaining time of air therapy modes, etc.)15
The median prevalence of pressure ulcers in Europe is 10.8%16
The cost of pressure ulcer treatment per patient per day ranged from €1.71 to €470.4917
Patient Mobilization Mode
Help increase patient turn engagement and pressure ulcer relief with turn reminders, Continuous (CLP) and Alternating Low Pressure (ALP) modes.
* Optional Feature
Pulmonary Mode
Helps to prevent pulmonary complications using customizable side rotation cycles. It can be automated to assist the caregivers while respecting the protocols in force in the facility.
Prone Positioning*
Prone position management features helps caregivers to effectively manage patients in the prone position whilst patient is intubated.10
MICROCLIMATE MANAGEMENT Technology
The MCM technology is proven to effectively remove excess heat and moisture from patient’s skin at the interface between the patient’s body and the mattress.11-14
Mobilization Mode
Pressure Ulcer Mode
Pulmonary Mode
Prone Mode*
Continuous Monitoring**
Connectivity
The Therapy2 surface is designed to help you to:
- Implement skin protection therapies with Continuous Low Pressure (CLP), Alternating Low Pressure (ALP) and Pressure Ulcer modes and with the Microclimate Management (MCM) technology.
- The therapeutic and smart features help to release time for your busy staff, so they can streamline efficiencies and react to patient needs more quickly.
- Effectively manage patients that would benefit from the prone positioning10 with the optional Prone Position Mode.
- Enhance workflows with the integrated pump and X-ray sleeve. The integrated pump eliminates the need for the staff to find, install and clean the pump. And the X-ray cassette sleeve allows to perform in-room portable X-ray while the patient is lying on the surface.
- Stay connected to be informed on patient and surface status15 — so that your team can react to patient needs faster.
The healthcare workers shortage in Europe in 2013 was 1,6 million and the projection by 2030 is 4,1 million19
I-mmersion sensor
Controls and adjust in real-time cushion pressures according to patient size, shape, weight or position in the bed without caregiver intervention.
Contact-free, continuous monitoring**
The heart rate (HR) and respiratory rate (RR) are continuously measured while the patient is lying on the surface. It alerts caregivers of rates that exceed the pre-determined HR and RR thresholds.
Patient Exit Alerting
When the patient leaves the surface, the system alerts until the patient is back on the surface.
Stay Connected to Patient
Therapy2 sends to the nurse’s station or EMR clinical data, out-of-bed alerts, surface pressure notifications (PMAX) and other surface status data.15
