What is the Drive Premium Guard Gel Overlay?
The Drive Premium Guard Gel Overlay is a gel and foam Mattress Topper for pressure redistribution. Such pressure redistribution helps prevent pressure ulcers and sores. This overlay is embedded with a non-toxic, aqueous gel that spans the entire patient contact area for full head-to-toe coverage. Polystyrene beads limit gel migration and displacement, which keeps the gel evenly distributed and prevents the overlay from pitting and bottoming out. This mattress topper features an all-new convoluted foam topper improves air circulation and increases user comfort. In addition to these benefits, this Drive Medical gel overlay includes four corner straps so users don't have to deal with annoying slipping and sliding and to increase patient safety. Finally, this item's cover is made out of urethane-coated nylon. This means the cover is both water-resistant and vapor-permeable. Underneath this nylon cover is a waterproof vinyl bottom. Both the waterproof vinyl and nylon cover protect the Premium Guard gel foam overlay from spills and damage so your overlay will last for years to come.
Two sizes of the Drive Premium Guard Gel Overlay are available. While the standard Drive Premium Guard Gel Overlay (14893) can withstand up to up to 300 pounds, the Bariatric Drive Gel Mattress Overlay (14901) is designed for higher-weight patients. This Bariatric Mattress topper has a weight capacity of up to 500 pounds.
