Pressure Reducing Mattress
Mattress Overlay Systems are, as stated, designed to be used on top of existing bed mattresses and are generally 4" to 5" thick. Mattress Overlay systems include the Alternating Pressure reducing Mattress and the Alternating Low Air Loss Mattress, as well as Foam and Gel Bed Mattresses. Group 1 mattress overlays are designed to be used primarily for preventing pressure ulcers (more commonly referred to as bed sores), but will also help in the curing of pressure ulcers. These inflatable mattresses are the perfect bed mattresses for bed sore care and prevention.
Alternating Pressure Overlay Systems offer an extraordinary therapeutic surface for the prevention of pressure sores (bed sores). It alternates inflation and deflation of cells to constantly change pressure points and promote circulation of blood in the tissues, a failure of which is a major cause of pressure sores.
Alternating Low Air Loss Mattress Systems offer the best of both worlds, alternately inflating and deflating alternate cells while circulating air across the skin to reduce moisture and to help maintain a constant skin interface pressure. This will help to prevent or cure pressure sores.
