Diamond 8 Plus
The Diamond 8 Plus is ideal for individuals with Stage I – IV pressure wounds in the coccyx and lower back area. It has a pre-set cycle time of 21 minutes. The maximum weight capacity is 650 lbs. Built-in automatic two hour battery backup in case of a power failure.
The design of the individual cells, inside the mattress, are similar to a figure 8, divided into two 4″ sections. The lower four inches remain inflated at all times. The top four inches alternate in a 3:1 pattern so that 66% of the body is constantly supported. This allows for a more stable surface.

To ensure the longevity of the control unit we recommend inspecting / cleaning the filter monthly.
Unique Features
- “MICRO” LOW AIR LOSS TECHNOLOGY – Air escapes from 20 laser-cut openings in the centre 10 cells of mattress. Air is distributed equally under a vapour-permeable, quilted cover that acts to wick moisture away from the patient.
- ALTERNATION THERAPY – 18 independent cells gently inflate and deflate in a 3:1 cycle, whereby 2/3rds of the body is always supported. Cells, in cross section, have a Figure 8 design; the bottom half is always inflated and only the top half alternates. In the event of a power failure the bottom half of the cells stay inflated for up to 72 hours.
- SIMPLE, MODULAR CELL CONSTRUCTION – This design feature makes replacement of individual cells and components quick, easy, and cost effective.
- FLUID RESISTANT AND VAPOUR-PERMEABLE COVERS – Each surface comes with two fully quilted zip covers. They wick moisture away from the body and prevent shearing and friction. All covers are machine washable, antimicrobial, fluid resistant and flame retardant.
- SECURITY TIES – Eight adjustable ties secure the system to any standard hospital bed frame.
- CPR QUICK-RELEASE VALVE – This feature allows for deflation of the torso section in less than 20 seconds for medical emergencies.
- CONVOLUTED FOAM BASE – 2″ Foam provides added patient protection in the event of power failure. The foam is enclosed in a moisture proof material that protects against bacteria build up.
