The Invacare Glissando Gliding Mattress features a premium four-way stretch cover and two layers of high-density foam with a patented “gliding” layer designed to help reduce friction and shear which can contribute to development of pressure ulcers.
Why are Friction and Shear important when selecting a therapeutic support surface?
Shear is a primary contributing factor in the development of pressure ulcers, but is sometimes overlooked because the damage is often undetectable from the outside. However, shear can contribute to the development of pressure ulcers as well as make the skin tissue more vulnerable to the forces of direct pressure. For this reason, a mattress’s ability to redistribute pressure is only part of its role in ulcer prevention. A clinically effective mattress should also be used to reduce the effects of shear on skin tissue.
How does the Invacare Glissando gliding mattress minimize these forces?
The patented design allows the mattress to conform simultaneously to the resident and the bed frame, optimizing the features of an articulating bed. When the bed is articulated, the top surface retains its properties for effectively supporting the resident, while the base of the mattress separately conforms to the bed frame. This unique design reduces unwanted resident movement, reducing potential for tissue damage resulting from friction and shearing.

- Castellation-cut foam redistributes pressure for user comfort
- Fluid-resistant cover features a concealed zipper to help prevent contamination of foam
- Foam sections move independently as mattress is articulated for support and user comfort
