What is the purpose of an alternating pressure mattress pad?

Providing relief from bed sores and other skin problems caused by extended bedrest, the alternating pressure mattress pad sits on top of your existing mattress and promotes increased circulation while reducing skin breakage.

How do I know if my patient needs an alternating pressure mattress pad?

An alternating pressure mattress pad should be used for patients who are likely to spend more than 15 hours per day in bed or who are classified as medium to high risk of developing pressure ulcers, or bedsores. People at higher risk are typically: seriously ill; not mobile; have spinal cord injury; do not eat a proper diet; wear prosthesis; smoke; are incontinent of stool or urine; have diabetes; have COPD or heart failure; have Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, or heart failure; or have a broken hip or have had a recent hip surgery.

How does my alternating pressure mattress pad work?

The alternating pressure pad uses the distribution of air that cycles between cells to stimulate blood flow and distribute weight off pressure points.

  • 1. Position the mattress pad on the bed, securely tucking the ends of the pad underneath the existing mattress
  • 2. Connect the mattress feed pipes to the compressor (pump) connector using the flexible air hose
  • 3. Secure the compressor to a stable location and plug into an outlet
  • 4. Turn on the mattress and begin inflation
  • 5. Ensure the mattress has been fully inflated before positioning the patient on top of it

  • Washing Instructions:
