Air Bed with Mattress Air Pump

Description

PSI offers medical air bed is an inflatable mattress system designed specifically to help patients who are confined to bed for long periods. It’s typically placed over a regular bed frame or existing mattress. The mattress connects to a pump unit that inflates and cycles air through various cells or chambers to continuously redistribute pressure on the body.

Unlike normal foam mattresses, medical air beds actively help prevent skin damage and bed sores through this alternating pressure system. They’re particularly useful in post‑operative recovery, long‑term care, elderly care, and mobility‑limited patients.

Features

Alternating Pressure System – The mattress has multiple air cells or chambers that inflate and deflate in cycles. This redistributes pressure across different parts of the body, reducing constant pressure on one spot — a major cause of bedsores.

Adjustable Pressure & Firmness – Most models let you adjust the air pressure using a pump control, so caregivers can tailor comfort and support according to the patient’s weight and needs.

Medical‑Grade, Durable Material – Made from PVC or PVC/nylon medical‑grade materials that are waterproof, tear‑resistant, and easy to clean — important for hygiene in healthcare environments.

Quiet & Continuous Pump Operation – The electric pump often runs quietly in the background to keep the mattress cycling without disturbing patient rest.

Even Weight Distribution – Air beds spread body weight over a wider surface, relieving stress on vulnerable areas like hips, heels, and shoulders.

Lightweight & Portable – These mattresses can often be deflated and stored or moved easily — great for home care or temporary use.

Uses

Preventing Pressure Ulcers (Bedsores) – The main use of an air bed is to prevent and manage pressure sores in patients who spend long hours lying in bed. The alternating air pressure helps reduce continuous pressure on soft tissues.

Supporting Post‑Surgery Recovery – Patients recovering from surgery often need to stay in bed for extended periods. Air beds enhance comfort and help in healing and comfort during recovery.

Care for Immobile or Elderly Patients – People with limited mobility — due to paralysis, injury, or age — benefit from reduced friction and better circulation, which air beds provide.

Home Healthcare & Nursing Care – Air beds are widely used in home care settings, especially where professional medical beds may not be available, but pressure relief is still needed.

Rehabilitation & Long‑Term Care Facilities – Useful in rehabilitation centers and nursing homes to improve patient comfort and reduce manual repositioning effort.
