Protekt™ 500 with VGPT™ Visco Gel Polymer Technology: Superior Pressure Redistribution and Cooling
The Protekt™ 500 with VGPT™ Visco Gel Polymer Technology is a groundbreaking support surface that offers exceptional pressure redistribution, rapid heat dissipation, and improved breathability compared to traditional foam solutions. The innovative VGPT™ is crafted from open-cell Visco Memory foam infused with gel polymers, ensuring both clinical superiority and patient comfort.
This advanced technology allows air to flow through the open cells, directing it away from the body and preventing heat entrapment common with closed-cell memory foam. The gel polymer infusion enhances cooling properties and nearly eliminates static fatigue. Together, the open-cell foam and gel infusion ensure the Protekt™ 500 maintains its shape, distributes pressure evenly, and effectively removes heat, keeping users cool, dry, and comfortable.
The heel section of the Protekt™ 500 is uniquely designed for optimal pressure mapping, safeguarding the sensitive heel area from debilitating pressure ulcers. It features a 30-degree slope that redistributes pressure across the lower leg, while the top layer is finished with Lura-Quilt™, a patented and highly resilient aerated foam, to keep skin cool and dry.
- Heel slope redistributes pressure from heel to the entire leg
- Precision-cut air pockets allow deeper submersion and increased air circulation
- Gel-infused foam for enhanced cooling
- Significantly reduces the occurrence of pressure sores by channeling heat away from the body faster than traditional foam, virtually eliminating perspiration
Produced by Proactive Medical, the Protekt™ brand is known for its commitment to quality and innovation in medical support surfaces.
