Nimbus 4
Alternating Pressure System
The Nimbus 4 system combines automatic adjustment of cell pressures, Heelguard and Wound Valve Technology providing effective pressure redistribution and enhanced solutions to a wide range of patient management issues.
In Clinical Use for more than 20 years Nimbus Alternating Mattress Replacement Systems are proven to be clinically and cost effective pressure redistributing mattress replacement systems used across all care environments.¹⁻⁸References:

Nimbus range pump features
Audible and visual alarms
• The pump includes audible and visual alarms, activating only when genuine intervention is needed for Power Fail, High or Low Pressure and Pump Fault conditions.
Comfort control
• For additional patient comfort, minor adjustments to inflation pressures can be made using a comfort control dial, without affecting therapeutic performance.¹⁶
Infection prevention
• 3 stage filtration provided by the bio-filter ensures only clean air is passed into the mattress.
Nimbus range mattress features
Cover
• Vapour permeable and water resistant 2-way stretch cover offers pressure redistribution and comfort. This loose fitting top cover is attached to the mattress base by concealed zips to reduce ingress of unwanted fluids. The cover is also flame retardant, easy to clean and can be completely removed for laundering.
Auto-matt sensor pad
• The Auto-Matt sensor pad is designed to adjust cell pressures according to patient weight and positioning on the mattress.
Anti-sink mattress design
• The mattress is made up of 19 deep "figure of 8" designed cells to support patients up to 250 kg, providing active pressure redistribution for all patient types and all categories⁹ of tissue damage.
Wound valve technology
• 5 heel cells incorporate Wound Valve technology, allowing the carer to permanently off-load ("float") the vulnerable heel, for those patients with limb ischaemia or existing wounds.
Cable management
• Reduces risk of injury to patient and/or carer by removing trailing cables.
Transport facility
• Seals air in the mattress for up to 12 hours, providing a uniform stable surface for patient transportation, moving and handling, nursing procedures and during periods of power failure.
Heelguard
• Dedicated mattress zone where bottom 5 cells provide maximum pressure redistribution through use of unique "power down" straps, keeping pressure at the vulnerable heel lower for longer (Nimbus 4).
CPR facility
• A quick release, single handed operation, the CPR facility enables rapid air deflation for emergencies, short term physiotherapy, moving and handling or storage.
