View full detailsHow It Works
-
Air Cells: The mattress is made up of a series of air cells or chambers.
-
Inflation and Deflation Cycles: A pump alternates the inflation and deflation of these cells in a rhythmic cycle, typically every few minutes.
- Pressure Redistribution: This process shifts pressure between different areas of the body, reducing sustained pressure on any one point, which can otherwise lead to skin and tissue damage.
Benefits
-
Prevents Pressure Ulcers: Continuous pressure redistribution minimizes the risk of pressure ulcers by reducing prolonged contact between the skin and the surface.
-
Enhances Comfort: Provides relief for patients who experience pain from immobility or existing skin conditions.
-
Supports Healing: Can aid in the treatment of existing pressure ulcers by relieving pressure on affected areas and promoting blood flow.
Key Features
-
Customizable Settings: Pressure levels and cycle times can often be adjusted to meet individual needs.
-
Silent Operation: Modern models are designed to operate quietly, ensuring minimal disturbance.
- Moisture Management (optional): Some mattresses also provide low-air-loss technology to help keep the patient’s skin dry.
Who Can Benefit?
-
Bedridden patients: Individuals unable to change their position independently.
-
Post-surgery patients: Those recovering from major operations.
-
Patients with existing pressure ulcers: Helps in managing and healing existing wounds.
- Individuals with mobility impairments: Especially those with chronic conditions or disabilities.
Conclusion
An Alternating Pressure Mattress is an essential tool for reducing the risks associated with immobility, improving patient comfort, and enhancing the quality of care for individuals who spend long hours in bed.
