Free flow of respiratory secretions through the meshed netting and the ability to raise the mattress improve clearance from the upper respiratory tract

Free flow of upper respiratory secretions (rhinorrhea, mucus, etc.) through the Nettress' porous netting prevents the possibility of rebreathing and aspiration.

The ability to raise the mattress head which improves clearance of secretions is an added benefit in upper respiratory tract infections and acute bronchitis which are the most common respiratory illnesses during infancy and childhood.
