The leading clinically evidenced powered hybrid support surface is now more sustainable – helping reduce pressure ulcer incidence and releasing time to care, while lowering the environmental impact.
DHG’s refreshed Dyna-Form Mercury Advance support surface is now the first powered hybrid support surface to be made from sustainable foam – providing a solution that benefits end-users, caregivers, healthcare systems, and the wider environment.
We’ve partnered with Vita Group to utilise Orbis™ foam, a breakthrough in foam technology that promotes circularity and sustainability by actively preventing post-consumer products from contributing to landfill.

This new technology means that each Dyna-Form Mercury Advance contributes an overall saving of 2.6kg of CO2 when compared to a hybrid support surface made from traditional polyurethane, and could generate a c.53 tonnes of CO2 saving per annum – the equivalent emissions of driving the circumference of the earth seven times. Additionally, one whole post-consumer mattress is recycled per every 16 new Dyna-Form Mercury Advance mattresses.
The Dyna-Form® Mercury Advance is a dynamic mattress replacement system combined with the benefits of modern foam technology. It is specifically designed for patients considered to be at ‘Very High Risk’ of pressure ulcer development. Offering high levels of patient comfort, this unique system has the facility to ‘step up’ to that of a dynamic mattress when clinically required. Similarly, the mattress function can be ‘stepped down’ as the patient’s condition improves.
These features make it particularly beneficial for use within the patient’s home or palliative care environment and help reduce logistic and decontamination costs. The clinical benefits of a single system are equally applicable to those of a modern hospital setting.
A higher maximum weight capacity, up to 40 stone / 254kg, allows the product to meet the challenges of heavier patients.
All component parts are interchangeable and replaceable, maximising product life and reducing environmental impact. The outer cover comprising a high frequency welded, multi stretch and vapour permeable Dartex fabric satisfies the strictest infection control policies.
Please note this product is also available with PU covered umbilical.
