It is used as an overlay to a typical mattress on the patient’s bed, and afterwards it is covered with a sheet. Chambers (tubes) of the mattress are alternately filled by a special pump.
Thanks to this alternating operation (mattress + pump) the individual areas of the patient’s body are not in a continuous contact with the ground for longer than a few minutes. The air pressure in the mattress is adjusted (increased or decreased) depending on the weight of the patient.
- Low noise is a great advantage of ARmedical pump. Regardless of the load, the pump runs silently.
- An additional advantage of this system (pump + mattress) is failure-free functioning. Recommended for bedridden patients to prevent bed sores and to treat existing ones.
