Description

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

MODEL: M8 Alternating Air Mattress with Mechanical Pump

Overview

The M8 Alternating Air Mattress is a medical-grade support surface designed to help prevent and manage pressure ulcers (bedsores) in patients who spend extended periods in bed. It works in conjunction with a mechanical pump system that alternately inflates and deflates air cells to redistribute pressure across the body.

Design and Structure:

• Air Cell Construction: The mattress is made up of multiple horizontal air tubes or cells, which are inflated and deflated in a programmed cycle.
• Cover Material: It typically has a waterproof, vapor-permeable, and easy-to-clean cover to maintain hygiene.
• CPR Function: Many models, including the M8, feature a quick-release CPR tag to rapidly deflate the mattress in emergencies.
• Zoned Support: Some sections may be firmer or softer to provide targeted support for different body areas.

Functionality:

• Alternating Pressure Therapy: The pump cycles air through the cells, changing the points of contact and reducing prolonged pressure on any one area.
• Adjustable Settings: Caregivers can adjust firmness and cycle time to suit patient needs.
• Quiet Operation: Designed to run quietly to avoid disturbing the patient’s rest.

Applications:

Used in hospitals, nursing homes, and home care settings.

Suitable for patients at medium to high risk of developing pressure sores.

Can be placed directly on a bed frame or over an existing mattress.
