The alternating pressure system is optimized for pressure redistribution for people with up to Stage IV pressure ulcer, and thus was designed to prevent, treat, and manage pressure ulcers in a home, long term care, or acute care setting. The cell-on-cell design of 10\" deep air cells prevents \"bottoming out\" which is when the patient would sink to the bottom of the mattress. The Med Aire Bariatric Low Air Loss Mattress even provides an additional 24 hours of use in the event of a power outage. The advanced digital pump allows for a custom setting which allows the individual to set the unit to his comfort and safety needs, and will even auto return to a alternating pressure mode if the system is left on static mode for more than 2 hours. The convenient cover stretches 4 ways, is low sheer, fluid resistant, vapor permeable, quilted and zippered. In the unlikely event that one of the 20 air cells malfunction due to a puncture, they are easily removed and replaced. The unit also has a pillow function allowing 3 air cells at the head of the bed to stay in a static mode for better comfort and easier sleep. The system has 3 distinct diagnostic alarms which tell you whether the problem is with the mattress or the pump allowing for easy and effective troubleshooting. Be sure to consider the Med Aire Bariatric Low Air Loss Mattress Replacement System for effective treatment and ideal comfort.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Med-Aire Plus 10” Bariatric Alternating Pressure Mattress Replacement System by Drive Medical is ideal for the treatment and management of pressure ulcers and pressure prevention on the body. This system is packed with many features and easy-to-use controls that ensure the user remains comfortable while in the system while also helping to prevent pressure ulcers or skin breakdown. The cell-on-cell construction of this system allows the pressure to distribute without “bottoming-out” the patient during use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy We Like It\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Med-Aire Plus 10” Bariatric Alternating Pressure Mattress Replacement System features an Auto-Firm mode, which fully inflates the bladders of the system to aid in transferring in and out of the bed. All 20 of the 10-inch-deep bladders are easily removed and replaced in the event of a puncture. The system also has a Head Pillow mode, which keeps the three cells by the head inflated during static mode, while the Seat Inflate mode ensures the user stays comfortable while the top part of the bed is raised for long periods of time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the event of a power outage, the Med-Aire Plus 10” Bariatric Alternating Pressure Mattress Replacement System stays inflated for up to 24 hours, ensuring the user stays comfortable and supported.
