Pressure Sensing Floor Mattress with Alarm – Smart Caregiver WC-02
Smart Caregiver® Pressure Sensing Bedside Fall Mat with Alarm (SKU: WC-02)
Integrated Internal Pressure Sensor Pads, Corded Monitor Connection, Dual-Layer Energy-Absorbing Foam Core, Beveled Transition Edges, Compact Tri-Fold Architecture, and Reinforced Wipe-Clean Vinyl Cover
Managing fall prevention and early exit detection for patients prone to unassisted bed transfers requires immediate alert technology combined with impact attenuation. Hard, unpadded flooring alongside medical or home care beds creates a serious risk of severe joint or head injury during an unassisted exit, while delayed caregiver response times increase fall likelihood. The Smart Caregiver® Pressure Sensing Floor Mattress (WC-02) delivers a dual-purpose protective system designed to alert care staff instantly upon weight application while cushioning bedside falls.
Engineered with built-in pressure sensor pads embedded inside the mat core, this 2-inch thick surface connects via a corded interface directly to compatible Smart Caregiver® alarm monitors to trigger an immediate audible alert the moment a patient steps or rolls onto the mat. Constructed with two types of energy-absorbing foam that distribute weight evenly and dampen shock, it features low-profile beveled edges for smooth wheelchair and walker access. Enclosed in a heavy-duty, reinforced vinyl cover that wipes down easily with healthcare disinfectants and folds into a compact tri-fold shape for effortless storage, it offers comprehensive bedside safety.

Fall Safety & Caregiver Specialist Insight: Combining a pressure sensor mat with impact-absorbing foam provides the ultimate two-in-one safety solution.
