Risk category
Suitable for patients at risk to very high risk.
Pressure ulcer categories
For the treatment of all categories of pressure ulcers, as part of a package of care.
Use within this product’s intended setting, fit and user-weight limits, following clinical assessment and the current Instructions for Use.
Pressure redistribution through a lateral transfer
Repose Companion combines a reactive air overlay with a cover designed for lateral patient transfers. It allows the support surface to move with the patient under an assessed moving-and-handling plan.
Choosing and fitting your support
Use with suitable patient trolleys or beds, secure the cover using the designated straps and follow the care team’s transfer procedure. Check the surface, patient and equipment together. Companion is not a lifting sling or a flotation device.

Repose technology in daily use
Manual inflation with Smart Valve
The correct Repose pump sets the intended inflation pressure. Inflate with the user off the product. Use the pump specified for the supplied configuration.
Daily checks and cleaning
Check inflation with the manufacturer’s daily squeeze check and inspect positioning and skin regularly. Reconnect the correct pump and top up within a maximum of 14 days; the daily check still applies between top-ups. Always inflate and top up with the person off the product.
Clean visible contamination with detergent, water and a non-abrasive cloth. In the absence of visible contamination, follow the manufacturer’s weekly cleaning guidance and local infection-control policy. Dry thoroughly. Do not machine wash, immerse or sterilise the inflatable support, and keep liquid out of the valve. Removable PU covers have separate washing instructions.
Clinical use and precautions
The IFU excludes unstable spinal fractures, posture-management needs and body shapes that cannot be fully supported. Assess bed or trolley side rails with the complete support arrangement.
Not a lifting sling or flotation device. A radiographic statement does not establish MRI compatibility. Confirm patient and equipment limits for the exact transfer arrangement.
Keep the valve away from skin and avoid direct contact with open wounds or compromised skin. Seek clinical advice immediately if skin condition changes. Keep away from heat and sharp objects. The valve contains a metal spring: do not use near MRI equipment. Read the complete IFU before use.
Use as part of an assessed pressure-care plan, alongside appropriate skin checks, repositioning and other care. The support does not replace those measures.
Compatible accessories
Separate accessories for this exact configuration. Check whether a cover is already included before adding another.
Clinical information
The Companion reference evaluates a prototype lateral-transfer device using handling and comfort measures. It is not a trial of pressure-ulcer prevention or proof of outcomes for every current configuration. The range review provides separate clinical background.
Clinical assessment, skin inspection, repositioning and the wider care plan remain essential. Use the current product instructions for indications, precautions and maintenance; older study protocols are not instructions for present-day use.
