KCI's BariKare Therapy System is a specially designed front-exit bariatric bed system. Physicians will tell
you that bariatric patient care is associated with many risks including skin breakdown. The BariKare's aforementioned design helps treat
and prevent skin breakdown. Stabilization handles are also included to aid in mobility training and ambulation. The patented AtmosAir surface also provides adjustable non-powered dynamic pressure relief for patients up to 850 lbs.
Simply put, the BariKare combines a flexible environment for patient care and a pressure relief mattress system. It uses pressure
reduction therapy to help reduce the risk of pressure ulcer development, an integrated scale provides accurate patient weight readings at
the touch of a button, and the frame which allows for flexible patient positioning. The BariKare is a unique and versatile solution for
bariatric patient care.

Perhaps the most unique technology in the BariKare system is the AtmosAir MRS mattress. Using "Self Adjusting Technology" (SAT), the AtmosAir maximizes body weight displacement automatically and continuously to minimize tissue interface pressures. The SAT air cylinders also provide dynamic, non-powered pressure relief. But besides being highly effective, the SAT technology is also highly and easily adjustable. Use a simple weight dial to optimize pressure relief therapy for patients >500 lbs. To help reduce tissue interface pressures even more a sloped heel section with visco-elastic foam off-loads the heel and helps protect the general heel section. To increase and caregiver safety the Atmos Air systems include a firm perimeter, which also provides extra stability. A fluid resistant and anti-bacterial cover protects the mattress and allows for wipe down cleaning. These features make the AtmosAir a perfect fit for the BariKare system.
