Ripple Mattress (Anti-Decubitus Matress) -Tube
KShs 14,950.00This tube ripple mattress helps protect the skin of somebody confined to bed, by changing where their weight rests every few minutes so no one patch is squeezed long enough to break down. A pump runs it continuously, including overnight. Tube mattresses are the deeper, higher-specification form and suit higher risk: long bedrest, poor nutrition, a heavier build, or skin that has already started to mark. IT REDUCES RISK; TURNING PREVENTS THE SORE. Please ask our pharmacist about the weight limit before you order.

Ripple Mattress (Anti-Decubitus Matress)-Bubble
KShs 11,399.00This bubble anti-decubitus mattress prevents bed sores in somebody who spends long hours in bed. A pump inflates and deflates alternate rows of air cells every few minutes, so the part of the body carrying the weight keeps changing and no patch of skin stays squeezed long enough for the tissue underneath to die. It is the lighter and more affordable of our two alternating surfaces and suits moderate risk. Once skin has already marked, buy the deeper tube type instead — ask our pharmacist and we will tell you which you need.

Wedge Pillow
KShs 7,750.00This wedge pillow stops stomach acid rising into the gullet at night, by holding your whole upper body at a 30 to 45 degree incline until morning. It is bought mainly for acid reflux and heartburn that wake people, and it holds the angle because the foam shape does the work rather than the stuffing. 71 x 64 x 30 cm, 0.6 kg, heavy-density foam with a removable fleece cover. Turned around it raises the knees; behind the back it holds the 30 degree tilt used when repositioning somebody in bed. Ask our pharmacist which angle you need.
