Airtec 7.5 Alternating Pressure Mattress - Single

The AirTec 7.5 Alternating Pressure Mattress is an advanced full replacement mattress, featuring 5″ alternating cells and a 2.5″ foam base. It is suitable for users who are at medium to high risk of developing pressure sores and injuries. Total height of the mattress is only 190mm, an added benefit when using a floorline bed as the risk of acquiring injury from falls is much lower.

The AirTec Automatic Pump

The overlay has a whisper-quiet digital AirTec pump featuring intelligent control. The system is very easy to set up and operate for home or facility use, with only the patient weight required to set the appropriate inflation level. Cycle time can be adjusted to 10, 15, 20, or 25-minute programs, or it can be set to static mode if this is desired. The system also features a seat inflate mode, in either alternating or static programs, to provide extra support, particularly in the sacrum area, when the bed backrest is elevated. The AirTec 7.5 Alternating Pressure Mattress has simple visual and audible alarms to alert the caregiver of any system or power error.

The AirTec 7.5 Alternating Pressure Mattress is made up of 17 interconnected 5″ cells which operate in an A/B pattern, on top of a 2.5″ foam base layer. Individual cells have alternating inflation and deflation. In alternating mode, pressure is periodically redistributed throughout the body in order to mimic natural sleep movement patterns and to avoid long-term pressurization of tissue which can cause pressure injury.

The cover of the overlay mattress is a stretch TPU material that is breathable and vapor permeable, yet water-resistant. This reduces shear and provides a high Moisture Vapour Transfer Rate (MVTR), which further reduces the risk of pressure sores. The cover is easily removed for laundry with a wrap-around covered waterfall zip. The mattress features a manual CPR pull strap to quickly deflate the mattress in an emergency and is fire retardant.
