Pressure Care in Practice: Navigating the Elata® Range
Wednesday 17 June
Free to attend | CPD certificates provided
Upcoming Free Webinar
What You’ll Learn
- The clinical positioning of the full Elata® mattress range across the pressure care pathway
- How to differentiate between foam, hybrid and alternating air systems based on risk, mobility, and clinical need
- When to step up or step down between mattresses using structured clinical reasoning
- How different support surface technologies (foam, hybrid, alternating air) function in practice
- How to apply consistent decision-making across homecare, aged care, and clinical environments
- How to use Enable Lifecare digital tools, including risk assessment scales and the mattress selector, to support prescription and documentation

Why This Webinar Matters
This is the fourth and final session in the Elata® pressure care education series. We have explored alternating air, hybrid systems, and clinical foam. This session brings the full system together.
Clinicians are often required to make pressure care decisions across changing environments, evolving risk levels, and varying client needs. Without a clear framework, this can lead to inconsistent prescription, over- or under-servicing, and reduced outcomes.
This session provides a structured overview of the Elata® range as a complete system—helping clinicians understand how each surface fits within the broader pressure care pathway, and how to navigate selection with clarity and confidence.
What We’ll Cover
We’ll break down:
- The full Elata® range (E100–E700) and how each mattress is clinically positioned
- The progression from entry-level foam through to hybrid and dynamic systems
- Key differences in how foam, hybrid, and alternating air manage pressure, shear, friction and microclimate
- How to match support surfaces to client presentations, including risk level, mobility, time in bed, and clinical goals
- When to escalate or de-escalate care, and how to avoid premature progression to complex systems
- How to integrate pressure injury risk assessment tools into decision-making
- How to use the mattress selector within the Enable Lifecare app to support consistent, evidence-based prescription
See It in Action
You’ll see how the Elata® system works as a complete pathway.
- Compare mattresses across the range, linking features to clinical outcomes
- Work through case-based scenarios to demonstrate appropriate selection and progression
- Show how different surfaces respond to changing client needs over time
- Walk through the Enable Lifecare app, including risk assessment tools and the mattress selector
- Highlight how to translate assessment findings into clear, defensible prescription decisions
The focus is on practical application, clinical reasoning, and consistency in real-world settings.

By the end of this webinar, attendees will be able to:
- Describe the clinical positioning of each Elata® mattress within the pressure care pathway
- Differentiate between foam, hybrid, and dynamic systems based on client risk, mobility, and care needs
- Apply structured clinical reasoning to select appropriate support surfaces using case-based scenarios
- Identify when to step up or step down care to match changing clinical presentations
- Use pressure injury risk assessment tools and the Enable Lifecare mattress selector to support consistent, evidence-based prescription and documentation
Interactive Case Studies + Live Q&A
We’ll share real OT-led case scenarios across aged care, rehab, and community, showcasing practical applications and measurable outcomes. Then, stay for the live Q&A with Enable Lifecare’s clinical team.
