Proactive Medical Protekt Aire 8000 Low Air Loss/Alternating Pressure Bariatric Mattress System
The Proactive Medical Protekt Aire 8000 Low Air Loss/Alternating Pressure Bariatric Mattress System is specifically designed for patients suffering from pressure ulcers, covering stages 1-4. This advanced mattress system combines the benefits of low air loss and alternating pressure therapies, making it an essential piece of equipment for patient care. With features such as 20 air bladders and customizable alternating pressure cycles from 10 to 30 minutes, it ensures that pressure is evenly distributed across the user's body.
One of the standout features of the Protekt Aire 8000 is its low air loss therapy, which keeps the patient cool and dry through a series of tiny laser holes on the mattress surface. This is especially important for preventing skin maceration, as it controls moisture and heat. The mattress also includes a pillow-top design to support the head and neck, constructed from stretchable nylon fabric that is both comfortable and protective thanks to its low-friction, anti-microbial, and anti-bacterial properties.
In terms of safety and convenience, the Proactive Medical Protekt Aire 8000 has a cell-on-cell design to prevent bottoming out in case of power failure. The mattress features audio/visual low-pressure alarms to alert caregivers when preset pressure levels decrease, and a CPR pull tab allows for rapid deflation. The static mode facilitates easy transfers in and out of bed, while seat inflate increases airflow by 20% to the middle bladders to prevent bottoming out. Optional raised side rails are available for added safety.
Designed for durability and patient comfort, the 10-inch air cells are crafted from Nylon/PU material. These robust air cells ensure a sturdy support surface, making them ideal for bariatric use. The control panel features a lockout key to prevent tampering with patient settings, which includes the power switch. Moreover, the nylon top cover is fluid-resistant and quilted for extra comfort. This top cover also maintains hygienic standards with its anti-microbial and anti-bacterial properties.
Overall, the Proactive Medical Protekt Aire 8000 Low Air Loss/Alternating Pressure Bariatric Mattress System is an excellent choice for healthcare settings focused on pressure redistribution and patient safety. The combination of low air loss and alternating pressure therapy helps to manage and treat pressure wounds effectively. The mattress’s robust construction ensures both durability and long-lasting patient comfort.
