Therapeutic Application
The Carilex Centrius 5" Overlay System is engineered to form an ideal therapy solution when paired with the Centrius Pump. The system provides maximum tissue pressure redistribution and relief. The pump's Intelligent Pressure Sensing (IPS) technology is a key feature, responding to patient movements on the mattress by automatically adjusting internal pressure, regulating airflow, and continuously providing total envelopment for the patient. This ensures optimal therapeutic pressure for individual patient needs and assists in the prevention and treatment of pressure injuries. The combination of the overlay's comfortable modular cell design and the pump's low noise levels contributes to superior sleeping quality.
System Design and Usability
The overlay itself is a low-profile design featuring 16 individual 5-inch air cells. It comes with a 2-way stretch, washable cover aiding hygiene and patient comfort. Practical features include elastic straps to connect the overlay to an existing mattress, a dedicated cable management system, and a CPR pull tab for rapid deflation of the entire mattress within seconds in emergencies. The Centrius Pump offers a lightweight power unit (2.3kg), with intuitive controls for therapy modes, comfort levels, and safety features such as Panel Lock and alarms. Transport Mode allows the mattress to stay inflated for up to 15 hours by connecting the two quick couplings together.
