Capital and Coast District Health Board

HVDHB Purchase of Air Mattresses

HVDHB is seeking a provider to supply Air mattresses including universal air pumps to be used in all inpatient wards. The Air mattresses to be purchased are alternating pressure mattresses which are developed for the comfort of the patient’s under-recovery, and or patients that are confined to the bed for more than 15 hours in a day. This preventative care is in order to reduce discomfort and eliminate the possibility of bed sores. This purchase does not include air mattresses for outpatient departments, district nursing or the community health team. Additionally, bariatric beds are not part of the scope and will continue to be rented on an as needed basis from the current preferred supplier.
