Drive Medical Med-Aire Plus 8" Alternating Pressure and Low Air Loss Mattress with 10" Defined Perimeter - DMM-14029DPMN

Drive Medical Med-Aire Plus 8" Alternating Pressure and Low Air Loss Mattress with 10" Defined Perimeter - DMM-14029DPMN

The Med‑Aire Plus 8″ Alternating Pressure & Low Air Loss Mattress with 3‑Tube System is engineered to provide advanced pressure redistribution and comfort for individuals at risk of pressure ulcers or requiring extended bed rest. Its 8″ deep cell‑on‑cell air cell design helps prevent “bottoming out,” while the included 3‑tube tubing system ensures secure and efficient connection to a compatible pump. The mattress features a 10″ defined perimeter edge that enhances patient stability and reduces the risk of falls or entrapment, and a pillow section that supports head comfort. With removable air cells and an EZ‑Lock/Quick‑Release connector, servicing and setup are quick and caregiver‑friendly. 

Additionally, the mattress cover is made from 4‑way stretch poly‑urethane that is fluid‑resistant, low shear, and vapor permeable, helping protect the skin from moisture and friction—critical factors in pressure injury prevention. A CPR quick‑release valve allows for rapid deflation when needed, improving safety in emergency situations. When used with a compatible pump it supports alternating pressure and low‑air‑loss therapy that enhances microclimate control and promotes comfort and skin health in home, long‑term care, or clinical environments.

Maintenance Tips  

• Inspect water connections, hoses, and fittings regularly for leaks, cracks, or looseness.
• Test spray functions and controls before each use to ensure consistent water flow and pressure.
• Clean all surfaces after use with mild detergent and approved disinfectants to maintain hygiene.
• Flush system regularly to prevent buildup of soap residue, scale, or blockages in tubing.
• Check seals, gaskets, and valves for wear or damage and replace if water leakage occurs.
• Ensure drainage system is clear and flowing properly to avoid pooling or backflow.
• Dry all components thoroughly after cleaning to prevent mold, mildew, and corrosion.
• Inspect electrical components (if applicable) for safe operation and keep dry at all times.
• Tighten fittings and mounting hardware periodically to maintain stability and safety.
