For High Risk

Auto-adjusting pressure redistribution system — implementing early pressure injury prevention for long-term care patients

60% of aging, long-term care residents develop pressure injuries. The aging epidemic, longer life expectancy, and extensive need for assistive care raise pressure injury risk and burden for individuals and institutions.1-3

Many residents experience pressure-related discomfort, but undertrained and overworked staff tend to overlook their concerns, increasing complications, mortality risks, and nursing time and labor costs.4-6

Domus Auto’s automatic firmness calibration and manual refinement optimize early pressure injury prevention. Sacrum pressure relief allows individuals with different postures to sit longer and more comfortably.

Auto-adjust firmness, alternating surface 

  • Suitable for improving pressure injuries in long-term care and homecare residents. 
  • Automatic firmness adjustment based on residents' weight distribution for quick setup and pressure relief delivery. 
  • Firmer air cells at the sacrum prevent patients from bottoming out when sitting. 
  • Visual and audible alarm enhances patient safety and security. 

Automatically calibrated, alternating pressure relief reduces pressure injury incidences.

Manually micro-adjust firmness to optimize pressure redistribution and minimize pain at pressure points. 

Immersive and enveloping surfaces allow residents with different postures to sit properly and comfortably.

Panel lock prevents accidental changes and disruptions to pressure relief therapy and care quality.

FAQ
What materials are the air cells made from?

All air cells are made from Thermoplastic Polyurethanes (TPU). It is highly resistant to breaking down when in contact with water (hydrolysis), soft to touch, and minimizes friction and noise during patient movements.

What material is the cover made of?

The cover is made with nylon/PU and is vapor permeable, fire-resistant, and water-resistant. See specifications for more details on the fire-retardant standards.
