Low Air Loss Alternating Pressure Mattress System, 8 Inch, 20 Bladders, with Pump

This 8-inch low air loss alternating pressure mattress system delivers consistent, quiet pressure therapy for extended bed rest. The high-volume pump cycles air through 20 individual bladders every 10 minutes, continuously redistributing pressure to eliminate sustained contact points. Nine of the 20 bladders feature laser-cut low air loss function, allowing a gentle flow of air to keep the user cool and reduce moisture buildup. The vibration-isolating pump design minimizes sleep disruption, while LED indicators alert caregivers when pressure drops below the safe threshold. Includes quick-fill adapter and carry bag.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is alternating pressure therapy?
Alternating pressure therapy works by cyclically inflating and deflating different bladder zones across the mattress on a timed cycle — every 10 minutes in this system. This continuously shifts the user's weight distribution, preventing any single area of skin from sustaining prolonged pressure. Combined with low air loss airflow, it also reduces moisture and heat buildup at the skin surface.

What does low air loss mean?
Low air loss refers to a gentle, controlled flow of air through laser-cut perforations in 9 of the 20 bladders. This airflow keeps the user's skin cool and dry by reducing heat and moisture accumulation during extended bed rest.

What happens during a power outage or emergency?
The mattress is equipped with CPR release valves that fully deflate the mattress in approximately 20 seconds, allowing immediate flat-surface access for CPR or emergency repositioning. The LED pressure alert system also notifies caregivers if pressure drops below 10 mmHg during normal operation.

Can individual bladders be replaced?
Yes. The bladders are designed to be individually replaceable, reducing the cost of maintenance compared to systems that require full mattress replacement when a single bladder fails.
