Choosing the Right Air Mattress for Your Patients: A Quick Guide

When it comes to patient care, the right mattress is crucial for preventing pressure sores and promoting recovery. If a patient spends long periods in bed, choosing the right mattress can make all the difference in their comfort and healing. Here's a quick guide to help you choose:

👉Foam Mattresses: Ideal for pressure sore prevention, these provide even weight distribution and comfort, but still require patient repositioning.

👉Alternating Air Flow Mattresses: Perfect for patients with existing pressure sores. These mattresses alternate air pressure to stimulate blood flow and reduce skin breakdown, requiring no repositioning.

👉Hybrid Air Mattresses: A combination of foam and air, these offer optimal comfort and pressure relief for high-risk patients.

We offer a variety of medical mattresses tailored to patient needs, available for both purchase and rental. Our products ensure the best care and comfort for your patients, with free delivery and hospital-grade cleaning services.

Choosing the right healthcare equipment is crucial for delivering effective patient care and ensuring smooth clinic operations. Here’s what to consider when selecting equipment for your medical facility:

👉Facility Needs: Assess whether your facility offers specialised services or is part of a larger medical centre. Tailor your equipment selection to meet the specific demands of your practitioners and patient flow.

👉Features: Look for easy-to-use devices with multiple functions. This helps healthcare teams save time and focus on patient care, especially during critical moments.

👉Cost vs. Quality: While medical equipment can be costly, it's essential to prioritise quality over price. Low-cost, faulty equipment can lead to incorrect readings, patient risk, and costly repairs.

👉After-Sale Support: Ensure your supplier offers robust after-sale support, including regular maintenance and quick response times for repairs. Downtime can impact patient care, so ongoing service is a must.

👉Reputation: Choose a supplier with a strong industry reputation and a history of satisfied clients. An experienced supplier ensures reliable, well-tested products, and offers seamless delivery, installation, and ongoing support.

Frequent use and cleaning of hospital or care mattresses can quickly wear them down, reducing their effectiveness and lifespan. This can compromise patient comfort, especially when it's needed the most.

Our Mattress Audits help you assess the condition of each mattress, identifying remaining quality, pinpointing areas needing maintenance, and offering expert advice on maximising your investment. If replacement is necessary, our technicians can recommend the best options to ensure optimal comfort for patients while helping you plan for future costs.

It's a win-win: better care for your patients and smarter budgeting for your facility.

👉Did you know that in 2022-23, there were 238,055 hospitalisations due to falls, accounting for 43.4% of all injury-related admissions?
👉Tragically, falls were also responsible for 42.9% of all injury deaths in 2021-22, with 6,378 fatalities recorded—an age-standardised rate of 17.5 per 100,000 population.
We understand the devastating impact of falls and are committed to providing hospitals with effective falls prevention devices to reduce these alarming statistics.
With the right tools and proactive care, we can improve patient safety, reduce injuries, and save lives.

Pressure injuries quick stats:
👉In 2015-2016, Australian hospitals reported a rate of 9.7 hospital-acquired pressure injuries per 10,000 hospitalisations.
👉Prevalence rates across regions like New South Wales, Queensland, and Western Australia have ranged from 3.4–9.2%, with the most recent audits showing up to 4% hospital-acquired pressure injury rates.
👉In critical care settings, ICU patients are 3.8 times more likely to develop a pressure injury compared to non-ICU patients.
👉Prevention is key. Hospitals across Australia are targeting 10% or less in pressure injury rates, and with the right equipment and practices, these targets are achievable.
At Keystone Healthcare, we provide advanced wound care solutions to help reduce pressure injury risks, improve patient outcomes, and lower healthcare costs.

On World Cancer Day, we recognise the challenges faced by cancer patients, especially in hospice care.

In a multicenter study of 440 cancer patients admitted to five hospices in Italy, 17.3% sadly developed pressure ulcers during their stay. Key risk factors for pressure ulcers included age, proximity to death, and the duration of the hospice stay. Additionally, the incidence of Kennedy Terminal Pressure Ulcers was 2.7%.
We are committed to providing advanced pressure care equipment to help prevent these painful injuries and improve the quality of life for patients, especially those dealing with cancer.

By supporting effective injury prevention, we aim to ease the burden for those facing advanced illness.

Together, we can make a difference. 💙

Did you know that nearly 1 in 3 Australian adults are considered overweight or obese, and this number is expected to rise over the next decade? Obesity is often linked to increased risk of medical issues, including a higher susceptibility to wounds. Providing the right care and comfort is essential for bariatric patients, not just for their health but for their dignity.

At Keystone Healthcare, we understand the unique needs of bariatric patients. Our extra-large mattresses and specialised equipment are designed to offer both comfort and support while helping to prevent pressure ulcers and other complications. We believe in providing solutions that make patients feel truly accommodated, whether it's in a healthcare setting or the everyday moments that matter most.

It’s not just about medical care—it’s about creating a safe, supportive environment where patients can feel confident and cared for.

As healthcare professionals and enthusiasts, we know that healing isn’t just about time.

Wounds need three key things: proper nutrition, good circulation, and the right environment—none of which are determined by time alone.

While healing can take time, not all wounds will heal without the proper care and support. If the body isn’t optimised for healing, the process can be delayed.
At Keystone Healthcare, we understand the needs of your patients and provide the best wound care solutions to promote healing and prevent further harm.
For more information about our complete range of wound care equipment, please don't hesitate to contact our knowledgeable team at: (03) 7035 9144
