The Herida Essex™ is a thoroughly robust Birthing Mattress that has been specifically developed for repeated use within the challenges of most maternity environments.
Similarly, our design teams ensure that our tailored service ensures fitting of most beds available on the market today.
As standard, the robust but gentle feeling high frequency welded cover, complete with non-slip base, provides total infection control consideration whilst allowing *repeated cleaning without deterioration.
Prolonged labour periods can often result in skin reddening, where our specialist foam and cover selections work with modern re-positioning practices. Our bespoke foam ensures that where required, a specific application to most birthing bed designs is available.
