Air Mattress

What is Air Mattress?

Air Mattress is constructed with multiple inflatable air tubes (bubbles) that inflate and deflate periodically thus creating alternative inflate-deflate zones.

The inflating & deflating of the bubbles helps release the pressure under the patient’s body, especially for the parts like elbows, heels, shoulders & hips.

Air Mattresses are one of the most effective forms of treatment to be offered to a patient suffering from pressure injuries as they help create less pressure on the ulcers & prevent them from getting worse.

How To Use Air Mattress:

Place the mattress on the bed with the hose end towards the footboard of the bed frame. Securely hang the pump or place it on a flat surface. Connect the air hose (dual tube) from the mattress to the pump. Plug it into an electrical unit. Turn on the power switch on the control panel of the pump. The pump will slowly begin to inflate the mattress. After inflation, adjust the mattress pressure using the dial on the pump.
