WHAT IS TRUE LOW AIR LOSS THERAPY?
True low air loss therapy uses a blower pump to remove excess moisture
while immersing the patient into the mattress. Low air loss is defined
both by the effectiveness of moisture control and method of moisture
control. With the low air loss mattress, moisture is dissipated between
the mattress and the cover. The baffles have tiny holes which
continually blow air. The moisture from the patient transfers through
the vapour permeable fabric cover to interact with the air blowing up
from the mattress. This process keeps the patient cool and dry without
blowing air directly onto the patient. While reduction of excess
moisture is a distinguishing feature of low air loss mattresses, their
primary objective is still to immerse the patient into the surface for
increased contact area and even redistribution of pressure so blood flow
is maintained for areas of high risk.
This true low air loss hospital mattress is designed to heal up to stage
four pressure sores. It operates using a blower based air pump that
quickly inflates and effective manages moisture. This advanced low air
system is commonly used in hospitals, but is excellent for home use.
The
400 lb weight capacity can easily support the majority of patients. The
cover is low shear, easy to clean and full encases the air cells. The
pump is user friendly and easy to use. Auto firm and seat inflation
feature makes it easy to transfer in and out of the bed.
