What
differentiates the Microsolo 900T from competitive products?
The Microsolo 900T
product differentiates itself from competitive products in many ways;
- It
is unique because of its ability to prevent and cure
"SI" subcutaneous infarction, "pressure
ulcers"-"bed-sores", at every stage.
- Each
unit is delivered with both, the full depth mattress and the
corresponding wheelchair pad, allowing for continuity of care.
- It
is the only product of its kind designed to military
specifications employing 12-volt DC current technology, thereby
virtually eliminating all electromagnetic issues.
- It
is the only fully automated product of its kind, worldwide. Once
you place the mattress and seating system and turn on the system,
it will calibrate automatically according to the patient,
for optimal pressure relief. No additional inputs
necessary.
- This
4-6 hour internal battery back-up; significantly reduces power
interruption concerns and provides a continuity of care during
transport from patient bed to wheel-chair, back to bed,
eliminating relapse of the "SI" subcutaneous infarction,
more commonly known as pressure ulcers or bed sores.
- Can
tolerate patient weight in excess of 600 pounds. Most systems are
limited to 250 pounds.
- Exceedingly
user friendly
- It
is a Dynamic pressure system versus all competition that are
passive.
- The mattress replacement, seating
system and computer weigh just 24 pounds making the Microsolo 900T
the lightest most effective bed system in the world for preventing
and curing decubitus ulcers ("pressure sores" "bed sores
- Continuity
of care is paramount in dealing with patients that are affected
with a "pressure sore"-"bed sore".
- The
Microsolo 900T is the only system of its kind that allows a health
care institution to freely move a patient, easily from bed to
chair and back again without leaving the healing properties of the
system.
How
is the product packaged?

unit is packaged with both, the full depth 10-inch mattress
replacement and the corresponding wheelchair system, allowing for

What
are the design benefits of the Microsolo product?
It
is the only product of its kind designed to military specifications
employing 12-volt DC current technology, thereby virtually eliminating
all electromagnetic issues.
The
Controller contains internal battery back-up (4-6 hour backup) that
significantly reduces power interruption concerns and provides a
continuity of care during transport from patient bed to wheel-chair,
back to bed, drastically reducing the chance of a relapse or re-injury
of the pressure ulcers or bed sores.
The
entire unit including the controller, mattress pad and seating cushion
weigh approximately 24 pounds. The full depth mattress can be attached
to any model hospital or stationary bed, and the seating cushion can
be placed on any standard size wheelchair or hospital chair.
Customized
cushions can also be ordered to fit bariatric chairs and beds for this
market.
How
does the Microsolo compare to competitive products?
There
are many Low Air Loss systems on the market today, yet none provide the
efficiency and versatility of the Microsolo 900T and no other system
contains the patented technology and software that control the
continuous rebalancing of the patient on the surface as the patient is
moved, turned, or repositions themselves.
Compared to competitive systems in the AFT category, which
can weighing a much as 1,500 pounds and completely immobilizes the patient, and is not
transportable;
the Microsolo provides greater pressure relief and a continuity of
care that is unparalleled in dealing with patients that are affected
with a "pressure sore"-"bed sore".
The
Microsolo 900T is the only system of its kind that allows a health
care institution to freely move a patient, easily, from bed to chair
and back again without leaving the healing properties of the system.
With the addition of the operating table system the care can be
extended to the operating room further reducing the risk of additional
sores and pressure related complications during extended surgeries.
