Mattress (Air)

An alternating air mattress is a specialized pressure relief mattress designed for patients who spend extended periods of time in bed. The mattress uses a powered pump to continuously cycle air through a series of chambers, gently shifting pressure across different areas of the body.

Benefits for the patient include:
*Pressure sore prevention – Alternating air chambers help reduce constant pressure on the skin, lowering the risk of pressure ulcers.
*Improved circulation – The shifting support promotes better blood flow to vulnerable areas.
*Enhanced comfort – The mattress provides cushioning and support for patients who remain in bed for long periods.
*Supports healing – Helps protect sensitive skin and can assist in the treatment of existing pressure injuries.

Alternating air mattresses are commonly used for patients who are bedridden, recovering from surgery, or have limited mobility, helping maintain skin integrity and overall comfort during extended bed rest.
