Tubular Medical Air Mattress with Electric Pump
This tubular air mattress is designed to help redistribute pressure and support the prevention of pressure ulcers for patients who spend prolonged periods in bed or have limited mobility. The air cells are inflated by an electric pump to provide a more comfortable, pressure-redistributing surface. It can be used on a medical bed or a suitable home bed.
The mattress includes a water- and vapor-impermeable nylon cover and a pump with a bed-side hanger. Maximum user weight is 120 kg. Inflated size is 200 × 86 × approximately 6 cm. Air pressure is adjustable via the pump. Suitable for low to moderate risk when assessed by a healthcare professional. Easy to use, clean, and maintain.
How it supports pressure ulcer prevention
Pressure ulcers can occur when skin and underlying tissues are exposed to sustained pressure. The tubular air cells help distribute body weight over a larger area and reduce continuous pressure on specific regions. This mattress is an aid and does not replace regular repositioning, skin care, appropriate nutrition, and clinical monitoring.
Intended users and settings
- Older adults with limited mobility
- Patients requiring prolonged bed rest
- Individuals who have difficulty changing position frequently
- Post-procedure or post-surgical patients as advised by a clinician
- Users of medical beds
- Cases at low to moderate risk of pressure ulcers, based on clinical evaluation
Electric air pump
Supplied with an electric air pump to inflate the tubular cells. Air pressure can be adjusted according to user weight and needs. Includes a hanger to mount the pump to the bed side. Ensure appropriate pressure settings during use.
Cover
Water- and vapor-impermeable nylon cover for easier handling in home care environments and simplified cleaning. Clean according to the manufacturer’s guidance using materials suitable for the fabric.
