In 2005 Aurora Manufacturing was formed with a commitment to providing premier fluidized technology. Our goal was to create an efficient and high-level pressure relieving Group 3 system for distributors in the HME and Long Term Care markets. By doing so, more patients can experience healing from chronic pressure sores in the comfort of their own home or facility.
By 2008 the HydroAire project was completed. The HydroAire is quieter, runs cooler, uses less electricity and is made for Home Installation. It’s also powerful enough to provide healing results in long term care as well Our fluidized air bed technology utilizes state of the art materials and software.
Air Fluidized Therapy (AFT) beds represent the best opportunity for your company to separate yourself from your competitors by providing the ultimate in pressure reduction surfaces. Providing AFT beds to your customers will afford them to manage their most difficult pressure wound patients while expediting their patients’ wounds and providing them with excellent outcomes. If you’re a distributor currently working with patients suffering from stage 3 and stage 4 pressure sores, this will take your product offering to the next level. Aurora Manufacturing has the experience to provide your team of professionals a comprehensive system for managing and servicing air fluidized therapy systems in the field. Aurora will provide you with sanitizing units that will allow you to clean the microspheres (beads) successfully between patients. Take a leader’s role in defining your company’s specialty surfaces by adding the HydroAire AFT bed to your product line.
Aurora Manufacturing boasts 20+ years of successful patient healing from the most severe wounds. That healing is possible thanks to the combination of excellence in manufacturing & perfecting the patient-facing delivery method. Our breakthrough technological design allows for quick set up and superior and efficient performance. The HydroAire is designed to withstand the rigors of Institutional patient care with optimum patient comfort in mind. Pressure relieving support surfaces have been used for over 50 years in the institutional setting and have provided exceptional performance in wound outcomes. The HydroAire is designed for Pressure Ulcers, Flaps and Grafts, Burns and Limited Mobility/Non Ambulatory patients.
Living with or managing chronic pressure wounds can take a toll on the patient and caregiver alike. Committing to a higher level of pressure relief can be the difference maker if additional wound healing measures are also being followed. Take the HydroAire AFT challenge by trying our bed for one to two months and commit to using this unique wound care system to completely eliminate chronic pressure wounds once and for all. Patients with stage 3 and 4 pressure wounds know the agony, pain and health risks associated with these types of pressure ulcers. Many patients who convalesce on the HydroAire AFT bed are able to gain a good nights sleep for the first time in months. The beads in the HydroAire AFT bed are 30% less dense than water thus allowing patients to immerse into the beads providing pressure relief throughout the entire surface area of the body. It is truly miraculous technology!
Typically patients with large refractory pressure wounds, posterior skin flaps or burn patients benefit from this therapy. In particular, patients who are unable to routinely turn themselves (parapeligics) will find this therapy beneficial in reducing and healing their pressure wounds. The HydroAire AFT bed is capable of taking on patients weighing up to 300 lbs. and typically patients as tall as 6’ 5” in heigth.
The tub of the bed is filled with glass ceramic beads called microspheres and the beads actually compose the majority of the weight of the HydroAire AFT bed weighing approximately 900 lbs (bed weight without the beads is 221 lbs). The beads lie on top of a diffuser board. Blowers within the beds pedestals force air across the board and cause the beads to react like a liquid. This act is called fluidization.
