Anti-Decubitus Alternating Pressure Air Mattress with Pump
An alternating pressure air mattress with pump, using multiple sealed air chambers that inflate in turn to redistribute weight and help prevent pressure sores in patients.
This anti-decubitus mattress is built from multiple sealed air chambers that inflate and deflate in an alternating sequence, so the points of contact under a patient's body shift regularly rather than staying under sustained pressure in one place. That alternating action is intended to improve local blood circulation and reduce the risk of pressure ulcers developing in patients who spend long periods lying in bed, whether at home, in a care facility or in hospital.
Each air cell is pre-treated and heat sealed, and the mattress is made from waterproof, medical grade material so it can be wiped down and used with incontinent or bedridden patients without the surface breaking down. The mattress comes complete with its pump, which cycles the air between chambers automatically once set up, so nursing staff or a caregiver at home do not need to manage inflation manually.
This type of mattress is commonly used for patients who are immobile, recovering from surgery, or otherwise at improved risk of developing bedsores during an extended stay in bed.
