The E500 with the EP20AU pump brings together the familiar comfort of foam and the clinical precision of air therapy. This hybrid system delivers smooth, responsive alternating care for the prevention and treatment of pressure injuries up to Stage 4, while cushioning sensitive users with consistent, pain-reducing support. With up to 12 hours of battery backup, it adapts effortlessly to changing needs and keeps care uninterrupted when it matters most.
Supportive, responsive, and made to care—it’s reassurance made simple.
Why Clinicians Choose E500
E500 is selected for patients who need active pressure relief to help manage discomfort and pain over extended periods in bed. Its hybrid design pairs responsive air therapy with a soft foam surface to redistribute pressure effectively while protecting vulnerable areas through rebound core foam, anti-shear technology, and heel offloading. E500 is trusted in environments where uninterrupted care, patient movement, and reliability matter most.
Dynamic alternating pressure with hybrid construction for high-risk clients requiring active therapy.
Core Foam
Three sections of transverse air cells with a profiled foam insert, encased in a waterproof TPU cover, reduce noise, block fluid ingress.
Side Wall Support
Adds stability and edge awareness for safer transfers enhancing comfort, balance and confidence.
Backrest Tilt Sensor
Auto-support with Elata TiltSense™.
Stability Core Layer
Supportive base layer enhancing stability, comfort, and pressure redistribution.
Cable Tidy
Integrated channels secure cables for safer bedside setups and protect against wire damage.
Accessible Handles
To ensure easy control / transport.
Heel Slope
Gel infused foam with gentle decline at the foot end reduces heel pressure and helps prevent injuries.
Rebound Core Foam
Enhanced rebound foam improves airflow and relieves pressure. Anti-shear top layer moves with the user to protect skin.
Heel Offloading foldable foam suspends the heels to relieve pressure and prevent injuries.
Pure Guard Cover, Hydro Lock Barrier
Easy to clean, 4-way stretch, vapour-permeable cover that reduces shear and blocks fluids, bacteria, and viruses.
Hydro Lock barrier, a welded seam and liquid-resistant zip flap prevent fluid penetration, protecting mattress integrity.
Why It Matters
Pressure risk doesn’t pause when power, posture, or position changes. E500 ensures therapy continues through movement, elevation, and outages, helping protect vulnerable areas while maintaining comfort. Its integrated design reduces setup time, limits equipment changes, and supports consistent care delivery. The result is fewer disruptions, better protection, and confidence that therapy is working, day and night.
