A sheet to take to your clinicianA powered mattress: questions for our clinician
About:Date:Mattress used now:
Why I’m asking
- Can’t change position in bed on their own, or spends long periods in bed
- Fragile skin, or a pressure injury before
- Often hot or damp in bed
- Has a pressure injury now
What I’d like to know
- Is the mattress they’re on now still right for them?
- Would you assess them for a powered mattress?
- Would an Evergreen powered mattress suit their needs?
- Could a demonstration or trial help us decide?
Alternating pressure
Pressure redistribution. Groups of air cells gently deflate and refill in turn, changing which parts of the body take the weight.
Low air loss
Skin protection. Air flows under the cover and helps manage heat and moisture at the skin.

Notes from the visit
For the clinician
Evergreen powered surfaces: Palm (High Risk–Stage 3), OpalAir and OpalAir Turn (Stage 1–4). Seven signs to consider a powered surface in long-term care, with their sources: evergreenmedicalproducts.com/insights/who-needs-a-powered-support-surface. The seven signs flag who to assess. Individual assessment guides the choice of surface; a trial, where available, may help. To book a demonstration or an in-service for your team: evergreenmedicalproducts.com/demo.
