Massage mattress with modular cellular construction - has supporting frame with spaced cells, each receiving hollow mattress module connected to fluid supply to define continuous upper surface

摘要

The mattress has a frame (3), comprising a series of horizontal support plates (5) separated from each other by vertical spacing members (6). The arrangement defines an array of cellular passages (4) into which modular mattress components (1) may be inserted. Each mattress module consists of a geometrically-shaped upper portion (2) of bellows-type construction. The shape of the modules is such as to allow close packing of adjacent modules to define a continuous upper mattress surface, and the modules are hollow to allow pressurised introduction of a fluid. USE/ADVANTAGE - Flexibility of application of massage pressure, allowing localised treatment of sores and other ailments.Prevents formation of bedsores.
