Hanover Hospital to Offer New Pressure Relief Mattresses

Patient safety and comfort are priorities at Hanover Hospital. As part of this commitment, a total of 60 new Atmos Air® specialty support mattresses have been purchased to replace mattresses in the hospital’s Medical-Surgical rooms, a project which will be complete by the end of June.

Specialty support surfaces such as the Atmos Air® mattress help distribute the patient’s body weight more evenly in bed than a regular mattress can.  By doing so, it can relieve the pressure around the hips, sacrum, heels and ankles, keeping the patient more comfortable.                                                                                                                                        

Investment in the new mattresses is part of Hanover Hospital’s commitment to the “Five Million Lives Campaign,” a nationwide renewed initiative among hospitals to “protect patients from five million incidents of medical harm” over the next two years.  For more information about Hanover Hospital, please visit www.hanoverhospital.org.
