Description
The EHOB WAFFLE Econocare Plus Overlay is the value line of the WAFFLE overlay family, offered with or without the M.A.D. Pump. Cost pressure is real in every care setting, and this overlay answers by keeping the core static air design at an Econocare price point. It suits hospitals, long term care and home care beds that need proven redistribution across many rooms, and one surface design covers the whole census because the format fits standard frames throughout the building.
- Flex-O-Seal Design – The Flex-O-Seal feature sets the Econocare apart inside the WAFFLE family, sealing the surface for dependable air retention.
- Two Purchase Options – Choose the overlay on its own or bundled with the M.A.D. Pump, so facilities stock exactly what they need.
- Static Air Cells – Interconnected air cells redistribute pressure across the full body, so no single point carries the load for long.
- Venting Holes – Built-in venting holes let air circulate freely through the surface for microclimate management that helps keep skin cool and dry.
WAFFLE Econocare Plus Overlay with Flex-O-Seal Design
On this EHOB overlay, a field of interconnected air cells shares the patient load so bony points stop carrying it alone. The 76 x 34 x 3.5 in surface is rated for patients up to 600 lb, and its low profile format works on standard hospital and home care bed frames. Both configurations share the same Econocare Plus surface. The pump option adds the hand pump EHOB designs for its overlays. Venting holes throughout the surface circulate air for microclimate management, and the proprietary antimicrobial material supports everyday hygiene. For facilities replacing worn foam pads, this air surface restores real redistribution in the same bed footprint.
Features and Benefits
Pressure Redistribution
- Expansion Control Design – A proprietary contour design that evenly distributes air cells to help reduce the risk of pressure injuries, so patients rest on a calm and even surface.
- Venting Holes – Built-in venting holes let air circulate freely through the surface for microclimate management that helps keep skin cool and dry.
- Easy-Grip Handwells – Patented handwells along the sides simplify handling and patient transfers, giving caregivers a secure hold during repositioning.
- Flex-O-Seal Feature – A sealing design unique to the Econocare line that supports consistent air retention across the surface.
Handling and Safety
- CPR Valve and Straps – A quick-release CPR valve with securing straps keeps the surface anchored to the bed and ready for rapid deflation in an emergency.
- Antimicrobial Material – A proprietary antimicrobial agent is blended into the material itself for patient comfort and safety across repeated use.
- Low Profile Design – A low profile build works with standard bed frames and rail systems, so the surface fits the care setting without extra equipment.

Why Choose the Econocare Plus
Equipping every bed with pressure redistribution is a budget decision as much as a clinical one. The Econocare Plus keeps the WAFFLE air-cell design and adds Flex-O-Seal at the family's value price, so wider rollouts stay affordable. The pump choice keeps new and replacement purchases equally simple.
- Redistribution You Can Measure – EHOB reports a 53% force reduction for this surface family, so pressure is spread instead of concentrated at bony points.
- Static Air Simplicity – No power source or pump cycle is needed once inflated, which keeps the surface quiet and dependable around the clock.
- Caregiver Handling – Handwells and straps make placement, turning and cleaning simpler for the care team on every shift.
- Antimicrobial Build – The antimicrobial agent is blended into the material rather than coated on, so protection is part of the surface itself.
