Mattress Type: Bubble mattress with end flaps, typically composed of air cells that alternately inflate and deflate to redistribute pressure.
Material: High-quality medical-grade PVC, often specified as originating from companies like Taiwan Nan or Nanya, known for durability and being easy to clean and waterproof.
Dimensions: While variations exist, a common size for the mattress is around 200cm (L) x 90cm (W) x 7.0cm (H) when inflated.
Weight Capacity: Designed to support patients typically up to 120-135kg, although some models may support up to 200kg.
Pump Features:
Quiet Operation: Designed to be ultra-quiet for patient comfort.
Pressure Control: Variable pressure settings and often includes features like automatic pressure control or knob control based on patient weight.
Alarms: May include alarms for power failure or low pressure.
Cycle Time: Features alternating pressure cycles, commonly around 10-12 minutes.
Hanging Hooks: Typically includes hooks to attach the pump to the bed frame, minimizing noise disturbance for the patient.
Uses:
Pressure Sore Prevention: Primarily used to prevent the development of pressure sores in individuals who are bedridden or have limited mobility for extended periods.
Pressure Sore Treatment: Assists in the healing process of existing pressure ulcers by relieving pressure on affected areas and promoting circulation.
Enhanced Comfort: Provides a comfortable and supportive surface for patients requiring long-term bedrest, reducing discomfort associated with prolonged immobility.
Circulation Improvement: The alternating pressure system helps to stimulate blood flow and reduce the risk of tissue damage caused by sustained pressure.
Home and Institutional Care: Suitable for use in various settings, including home healthcare, hospitals, and nursing homes.
