Low Air Loss Mattress

How It Works

• Perforated Air Cells: The mattress is made of air cells with tiny holes that release a continuous flow of air.
  
  
• Pressure Redistribution: These air cells alternate in pressure to relieve pressure points, similar to an alternating pressure mattress.
  
  
• Air Circulation: The airflow helps wick away moisture and heat from the skin's surface, keeping the skin dry and preventing maceration.

Key Features

• Pressure Relief: Continuous air circulation redistributes pressure, preventing sustained pressure on one area.
  
  
• Moisture Management: The airflow prevents excessive moisture buildup, reducing the risk of skin breakdown.
  
  
• Temperature Regulation: Helps maintain a cooler, more comfortable surface for the patient.
  
  
• Customizable Settings: Many models allow users to adjust air pressure and airflow to suit individual needs.
  
  
• Quiet Operation: Designed to operate silently, minimizing disruption for the patient.

Benefits

• Prevention of Pressure Ulcers: Reduces the risk of skin damage due to pressure and moisture.
  
  
• Healing Support: Aids in the treatment of existing wounds by keeping the affected area dry and offloaded.
  
  
• Comfort: Provides a soft, stable surface that adjusts to the patient’s body.
  
  
• Improved Skin Integrity: Maintains a healthy environment for the skin by balancing temperature and moisture levels.

Who Can Benefit?

• High-Risk Patients: Those prone to pressure ulcers due to immobility, poor circulation, or other conditions.
  
  
• Patients with Excessive Sweating: Helps manage moisture levels effectively.
  
  
• Individuals with Existing Wounds: Promotes healing by reducing shear forces, pressure, and moisture on wounds.
  
  
• Long-Term Bedridden Patients: Enhances overall comfort and skin health for those confined to a bed.

Conclusion

A Low Air Loss Mattress is an excellent solution for preventing and treating pressure ulcers while improving patient comfort and skin health. It is especially effective for individuals at high risk of developing skin complications due to prolonged immobility or moisture-related issues.
