To make educated choices, clinicians require solid evidence related to the therapeutic solutions they suggest for each patient condition.

Low air loss is defined as “A feature that provides a flow of air to assist in managing the heat and humidity (microclimate) of the skin.1”

This simplistic definition can be applied to a multitude of products that all perform very differently when it comes to delivering the best possible care to a patient at risk.

Our goal: Providing the best possible solution for each patient.

Truly understanding the benefits of low air loss technology

HELPSREDUCE2

As the pioneer of low air loss technology, ArjoHuntleigh inherently understands all of its benefits. More importantly, ArjoHuntleigh acknowledges and understands the limits of current low air loss designs and potential for new technologies. ArjoHuntleigh strives to help facilities provide better outcomes for their patients at risk of developing pressure ulcers, by helping reduce:

Redefining the limits of low air loss technology, and providing you with the information needed to make a patient focused decision.

First Step CirrusSimple, Tried and True

Enhanced Moisture Vapour Transmission Rate (MVTR)Design directed air flow enhances MVTR and allows the use of a standard cotton sheet without impacting performance.2

Fitted sheetThe integrated High Performance Medical Fabric replaces the need for a specialized top cover sheet. Therefore, helping reduce the nursing time associated with specialty sheet changes.

Non-slip edgingFirst Step® Cirrus non-slip edging helps reduce the sliding that happens at the edge of traditional low air loss surfaces during patient egress.2

Advanced pressure redistributionFirst Step Cirrus provides the same level of advanced pressure redistribution as the First Step Classic support surface.2

Research shows that compared to competitors, First Step Cirrus provides improved MVTR results2 > 200 g/m2/hr.

[ MVTR, the breathability of a fabric, directly contributes to microclimate management. ]
