Forte Alaise Pumpless Hybrid
The Forté Alaise is an advanced Hybrid Static Care Support Surface combining the pressure redistribution benefits of both foam and air. Utilizing a series of 13+ individual Air Cells, it offers excellent comfort, anatomical support, and pressure redistribution. With a weight capacity of 300kg, the Alaise is ideal for long-term care applications where maximum pressure care is required with virtually zero maintenance.
The Forte Alaise Pumpless Hybrid Mattress combines the comfort of high-quality foam with the versatility of air cell technology to deliver superior pressure redistribution, lateral stability, and safety. Designed for patients at risk of pressure injuries, the Alaise provides stability, immersion, and full-body protection without the complexity of a powered pump system.
Stability & Air System Design
Air is a proven medium for pressure redistribution, but in many reactive systems it can create instability. The Alaise addresses this by containing air within structured cells that control air movement both horizontally and vertically. This ensures consistent support across the mattress without the “air run-away” effect seen in other systems.
Key Stability Features:
- Contained air cells – prevent uncontrolled side-to-side or downward air displacement.
- Horizontal and vertical stability – improves positioning and comfort.
- Firm foam sides & foundation – provide safe transfers and reduce risk of bottoming out.
- Enhanced immersion – lowers interface pressure while maintaining repositioning ability.
This design allows users to experience the full benefits of immersion without sacrificing safety, mobility, or comfort.
Dedicated Heel Protection
Heels are one of the most common and vulnerable sites for pressure injuries, with research showing that up to 38.5% of stage IV pressure injuries occur at the heel. The Alaise Pumpless Hybrid is designed to specifically address this high-risk area.
Heel Zone Benefits:
- Full-length air cells – extend from head to foot for complete coverage.
- Dedicated heel air zone – provides targeted pressure redistribution.
- Sloped heel region – gently elevates the legs to offload the calcaneus.
- Softer immersion area – reduces pressure and enhances comfort.
By incorporating air support throughout the entire length of the mattress, the Alaise ensures continuous protection, especially in the vulnerable heel region where many systems fall short.
