Each of the air cells alternately inflate and deflate to create a mattress surface that evenly distributes a patient or loved one’s weight and eliminates pressure spots. Each air cell is heat sealed to ensure it will not leak for exceptional durability.
Bed sores if not treated during stage 1 and stage 2 can cause severe pain and lead to surgery. Air Cell Bed is recommended for the prevention and treatment of pressure sores in long term and domiciliary therapies. Its unique alternating therapy increases circulation, thus decreasing the pressure to the tissues in bedridden patients. The air pump provides sequential inflation and deflation of the air cells throughout the mattress forming an air channel up and down in the mattress to redistribute pressure.
