Description
The Skil-Care UnderMattress Sensor Pad is a smart, low-profile monitoring solution designed to enhance fall prevention while preserving patient comfort. Unlike traditional sensor pads that rest directly on the mattress and may cause discomfort or interfere with pressure redistribution systems, this innovative sensor pad is placed beneath the mattress, allowing the mattress weight to keep it securely in place. This placement not only reduces false alarms triggered by movement but also shields the sensor from spills and incontinence, helping it last longer. The Skil-Care UnderMattress Sensor Pad is an excellent choice for hospitals, long-term care facilities, or home caregiving settings. Improve fall monitoring system with an effective, comfortable, and reliable solution—choose the Skil-Care UnderMattress Sensor Pad today!
