ClinActiv Plus MCM
Therapy Surface System
ClinActiv Plus MicroClimate Management is the latest advanced therapy surface system from Hill-Rom.
ClinActiv Plus MCM is designed to address three major issues:
- Effective management of the Patient microclimate
- Prevention and treatment of pressure ulcers
- Enhanced patient safety
Suitable for use as a mattress replacement therapy surface, in hospital, long term care facilities or at home, the ClinActiv MicroClimate Management Therapy surface offers a variety of therapy options that would normally be met by different mattress surfaces.
ClinActiv Plus MicroClimate Management helps prevent pressure ulcer development through:
- Balancing skin temperature and moisture
- Reducing perspiration
- Reducing maceration
- Limiting the impact of friction
- Reducing tissue vulnerability to shear stress
Key features
Realtime pressure adjustment
Unlike conventional dynamic mattress systems that may take up to 20 minutes for cushion pressure to adjust after patient repositioning, the advanced ClinActiv Therapy Surface System:
- Adjusts internal cushion pressures instantly, regardless of patient size, shape, weight or position.
- Creates optimal patient immersion at all times.
Five independent low pressure zones
The five independent low-pressure zones include a dedicated heel zone with continuous low pressure. This helps create optimal patient I-mmersion™ Therapy at all times.
Flexibility in choosing therapy mode
Choose between Continuous Low Pressure or Alternating Low Pressure therapy. The Hill-Rom® ClinActiv Plus therapy surface provides real immersion therapy in both continuous and alternating low pressure modes.
Continuous Low Pressure mode
In this therapy mode, the complete surface stays in continuous low pressure, delivering optimal support and patient immersion.
Alternating Low Pressure mode
In this therapy mode, the middle section of the surface alternates in a “1 in 2” cycle, providing alternating low pressure.
Innovative safety functions include:
- Quick CPR-mode
- Patient Egress Alarm
- Lockable control unit
- Enhanced cable management
MicroClimate Management Low Air Loss Cover
Conventional low air loss systems have small perforations in the surface that easily are blocked by the patient, significantly reducing its effectiveness. With the ClinActiv MCM Therapy Surface, effective microclimate management is achieved through innovative methods:
- Excess heat and moisture vapour are drawn into the airflow below the MCM cover before exiting into the atmosphere.
- Hi-tech spacer material inside the cover ensures that the airflow is consistent and evenly distributed.
- Skin temperature is kept at a low yet comfortable level to help preventing perspiration and maceration.
- The airflow is virtually silent and can be turned on and off when desired, using the optional hand pendant.
- The MicroClimate Management system automatically & gently regulates the skin temperature according to the patient’s needs.
