Part 1: Technical & Therapy Comparison Matrix
A glance at the technical boundaries, capacity limitations, and therapeutic profiles of the core Prius configurations.
The ultimate choice for patients who need automatic turning assistance but exceed typical medical weight limits.
The gold standard for aggressive healing of severe Stage 3-4 wounds and managing extreme sweating/moisture.
Perfect for preventative care and silent, pump-free comfort, with the option to plug in an active pump later.
Engineered specifically for fully immobile patients to physically rotate the body and clear fluid from the lungs.
Part 2: Caregiver & Patient Selection Guide
Match the ideal mattress system to the specific, real-world clinical and home needs encountered by family members and professional caregivers.
If you are straining to roll a family member or patient every two hours to comply with clinical pressure protocols, the Duet unloads that physical burden. Its automated turning cycle takes the manual lifting off your shoulders completely.
The specialized Fowler adjustment keeps you completely stable. When the head of your bed frame rises for meals or TV, the mattress instantly firms under your hips to keep you from sliding downward or hitting bottom layers.
Advanced Stage 3 or 4 wounds demand an optimized skin microclimate. The Rhythm Multi uses True Low Air Loss to push heavy volumes of continuous air directly beneath the cover, keeping skin cool and drying moisture instantly.
If you suffer from highly tender, painful skin breakdown along your ankles or lower legs, the specialized Happy Heel controller unloads severe pressure points, allowing you to comfortably sink into the foot cells.
This setup works as an elite passive system. If a medical setback later requires active alternating pressure therapy, you can simply plug in the modular control unit (FC-PHR0052) without having to source a whole new mattress system.
If the constant mechanical hum or vibrating motion of standard alternating pressure pumps keeps you awake at night, the premium Serene® foam topper provides an immersive, silent, residential-feeling sleep surface.
When someone is entirely paralyzed or unable to move, fluids quickly collect in the lungs. The Rhythm Turn provides deeply protective, programmable continuous rotational movements (20° to 40°) to loosen chest secretions automatically.
Deep physical turning can sometimes make you feel like you are rolling off the edge. To solve this, Prius integrates dynamic side air bolsters that inflate automatically into a protective cradle to keep you safe and centered.
