HoverMatt Reusable Mattress
Reusable air-assisted mattress for patient transfers, boosting and positioning
Efficient patient handling
The HoverMatt air transfer system makes lateral patient transfers easier for caregivers and patients. When inflated, a cushion of air beneath the mattress reduces the pull force required to move the patient by 80 – 90%, enabling caregivers to transfer patients safely without lifting or straining. By virtually eliminating the injuries related to transfers and positioning, the HoverMatt significantly helps to improve staff satisfaction and retention while reducing direct and indirect workers’ compensation costs.
Improves patient comfort & safety
Inflated mattress cradles the patient while moving them in a stable position, eliminating skin shear and bruising and providing comfort for patients in pain. One device can be used for multiple patient handling tasks across the facility, including in radiology, diagnostic imaging and ancillary departments. The soft nylon fabric can be left comfortably under the patient for maximum use.
Double-coated version
The double-coated models offer fluid and stain resistance, making them ideal for the OR and labour & delivery.

In between patient uses, the HoverMatt should be wiped down with a cleaning solution used by your hospital for medical equipment disinfection. A 10:1 bleach solution (10 parts water: one part bleach) or disinfectant wipes can also be used. It is important to follow the cleaning solution manufacturer’s instructions for use, including dwell time and saturation. NOTE: Cleaning with a bleach solution may discolour fabric. If a reusable HoverMatt becomes badly soiled, it should be laundered in a washing machine with a 70° C maximum water temperature. A 10:1 bleach solution may be used (10 parts water: one part bleach) during the wash cycle. The HoverMatt should be air-dried if possible. Air drying can be expedited by using the air supply to circulate air through the inside of the HoverMatt. If using a dryer, the temperature setting should be set on the coolest setting. The drying temperature should never exceed 46° C). The backing of the nylon is polyurethane and will begin to deteriorate after repeated high-temperature drying. The Double-Coated HoverMatt should not be put in the dryer.
