Arjo, RIK Fluid Pressure Prevention Overlay

Description

RIK Fluid Pressure Prevention Overlay features:

• Non-powered fluid-based pressure redistribution
• MicroFlow™ technology for immersion and envelopment
• Reduces pressure at skin-overlay interface
• Maintains performance as the patient moves
• Compatible with most mattresses
• Supports patient transfers with firm perimeter
• Works with standard hospital flat sheets

Advanced Pressure Redistribution

The RIK overlay uses MicroFlow™ viscous fluid to conform to the body. As a result, it redistributes pressure evenly across bony areas. Additionally, it increases surface contact to reduce pressure points.

Moreover, the system adapts as the patient moves. Therefore, it maintains consistent pressure relief without requiring adjustments.

Effective Alternative to Powered Systems

Clinical studies have shown strong results with the RIK system. For example, pressure injuries improved in a majority of patients in clinical use. As a result, it can perform similarly to active mattress systems for appropriate patients.

Furthermore, the non-powered design simplifies care. In addition, it reduces the need for maintenance and equipment setup.

Improved Patient Transfers & Usability

The firm foam perimeter provides a stable edge. Therefore, it helps patients enter and exit the bed safely. In addition, V-shaped cuts allow the overlay to flex with bed movement.

Moreover, caregivers can use standard hospital sheets. As a result, they avoid issues such as “hammocking” and improve patient comfort.

Flexible & Practical Design

The RIK overlay attaches easily to most mattresses. Therefore, it adapts to different care environments. In addition, it supports patients at high risk of pressure injuries.
