About the Opera® Impulse Hybrid Mattress
The Opera® Impulse Hybrid Profiling Mattress represents the next generation of pressure care solutions, blending both static and active mattress technologies to provide unparalleled comfort and protection for users at a very high risk of developing pressure ulcers. Engineered for demanding healthcare and home environments, the Impulse Hybrid offers a versatile and intelligent design that promotes effective pressure redistribution, user comfort, and clinical reliability.
Combining air cell technology with supportive foam layers, the Impulse Hybrid is suitable for profiling beds and can be used both with and without its powered air pump. This flexibility allows caregivers and users to select the appropriate support level for individual needs. When operated as a static mattress, the Impulse provides a high level of comfort and pressure redistribution; when connected to the pump, it delivers dynamic alternating therapy for advanced pressure relief.
Very High-Risk Pressure Care
The Opera® Impulse Hybrid Mattress is specifically designed for users who are assessed as very high risk of developing pressure sores. It delivers clinical-grade pressure management through a sophisticated combination of foam and air cell technologies that continuously adapt to body movement and weight distribution. The alternating pressure therapy effectively relieves sustained pressure points, ensuring vulnerable areas such as the heels, hips, and shoulders are consistently protected from tissue damage.
Three-Zone Pressure Relieving Surface
The Impulse Hybrid features a three-zone surface design that targets specific areas of the body for maximum therapeutic benefit. The broad-castellation head zone provides enhanced comfort and stability, the central support zone offers balanced weight distribution for the torso, and the low-density heel zone ensures gentle envelopment and protection for one of the body’s most pressure-sensitive regions. This multi-zone approach promotes better circulation and reduces the likelihood of pressure injury, even for users who spend prolonged periods in bed.
Adjustable Firmness for Tailored Support
One of the standout features of the Impulse Hybrid is its adjustable firmness. The mattress can be used independently as a static surface with a medium firmness, ideal for high-risk users who require consistent support. For additional adaptability, the mattress can be connected to its advanced airflow pump, which allows the firmness to be adjusted according to the user’s preferences or clinical needs. This dual-function capability makes the Impulse an excellent choice for long-term care settings where user conditions can change over time.
Advanced Air Pressure Pump System
The air pressure pump system integrated with the Opera® Impulse Hybrid is designed to deliver intelligent, automated care. The system features auto-weighing technology that automatically detects the user’s weight and adjusts airflow to provide optimal support and comfort. This ensures the correct level of alternating pressure is applied without the need for manual calibration. In addition, a user-adjustable comfort control allows for fine-tuning of firmness settings, enabling both users and caregivers to achieve the ideal balance between therapeutic support and sleeping comfort.
Quiet and Reliable Performance
Designed with practicality in mind, the Impulse pump operates with minimal noise, creating a peaceful sleeping environment for the user. This is particularly beneficial in care homes or domestic settings where rest and recovery are crucial. The high-quality components used in both the pump and the mattress ensure durability and consistent performance, even under continuous use.
Hygienic and Easy to Maintain
The Opera® Impulse Hybrid is fitted with a multi-stretch, vapour-permeable antimicrobial cover that promotes hygiene and comfort. The cover reduces friction and shear while allowing airflow and moisture control. It is wipe-clean and machine washable at high temperatures, supporting infection control in clinical and care environments. The seams are sewn and the zip is protected with fluid ingress flaps for added durability and hygiene compliance.
Summary
The Opera® Impulse Hybrid Profiling Mattress provides a highly adaptable, clinically effective solution for the prevention and treatment of pressure ulcers. With its advanced hybrid technology, three-zone pressure relief surface, and intelligent pump system, it delivers a perfect blend of comfort, support, and innovation. Suitable for users at very high risk, the Impulse Hybrid offers the reassurance of hospital-grade performance within both care and home environments, ensuring every user benefits from safe, restorative sleep and superior care outcomes.
