Features
Compared to powered air surfaces like the Joerns® Dolphin FIS® mattress, our Envella® bed may offer your patient:1
- Up to 33% better pressure redistribution
- Up to 61 times greater evaporative capacity
- Up to 92% better shear performance
This healing environment is proven to enhance outcomes for a broad range of high-acuity wound cases:
- Flap and Graft Healing in a Post-Op Study 16 flap patients were placed on AFT immediately after their operations. 94% developed no complications.2
- Preventing DTI Deterioration in an Acute Care Study AFT helped to prevent Stage 3-4 pressure injuries in 100% of patients with DTIs, which resulted in reduced costs.3
- Accelerating Pressure Injury Healing in a Long-Term Care Study Of 664 nursing home patients, those with Stage 3-4 pressure injuries who were placed on AFT healed 4.4 times faster and had 2.6 times fewer hospitalizations, compared to those who were placed on alternating pressure surfaces.4
- Our Envella® AFT bed offers key improvements over its predecessors.
Elevate Your Patient's Comfort
- The Envella® bed’s auto-leveling bead bath and reinforced side bolsters help keep your patients from bottoming out
- Adjustable firmness in the transition between the bead bath and the head section can keep your patients in the best—and most comfortable—position
- The AFT air flow can be quickly modified
- Adjustable comfort zones in the head section redistribute weight-based pressure
- Enhanced temperature controls quickly heat or cool the bead bath
Elevate Your Patient's Safety
- A bed exit alarm (with alert silence) helps protect your fall-risk patients
- Side/Surface transfer deflates the bed’s head and side bolsters to help you move patients more easily and safely
- A head-of-bed angle indicator and alert help you monitor your patients for pulmonary complications Elevate Your Care Team's Productivity
- The bed's touchscreen controls are simple and intuitive
- Self-standing siderails and hooks for cord wrapping help your team to work safely and efficiently
- An integrated scale lets you weigh your patient in the bed, without disrupting the wound site
- High-quality casters and foot pedal braking make the Envella® bed easy to maneuver
