The bedsore prevention air cushion is a multifunctional mattress. As the name implies, the anti-bedsore air cushion can prevent bedsores. For some patients who have been in bed for a long time, it can play a good role in preventing bedsores.

Anti-bedsore air cushion
Types of anti-bedsore air cushion:
1. foam bedsore pad:
The mattress is usually made of foam plastic, with smooth bottom and concave and convex surface, which helps air circulation and reduces pressure. The price is cheap, but the permeability is slightly poor, and the prevention effect is general. It is only applicable to patients with mild bedsore or patients with light pressure.
2. gel bedsore pad:
The filler is flowing polymer gel, which has good air permeability and pressure equalizing effect, and can reduce the friction between the bone process and the pad, but it is expensive.
3. Water mattress
The filling material is generally specially treated water, which can massage the body through water flow, which can well disperse the pressure of the body and supporting parts, and prevent local ischemia from causing bedsores. It can be used for critically ill patients who have been lying in bed for a long time. It is expensive and difficult to repair after injury.
4. Air bedsore pad:
Generally, the mattress is composed of multiple air chambers that can be inflated and deflated. Through the work of the electric air pump, each air chamber can alternately inflate and deflate, which is equivalent to the constant change of position of the person who is in bed for a long time. It can be used to prevent bedsores caused by poor blood circulation caused by long-term bed rest and body pressure. Because of its good anti-bedsore effect, moderate price and suitable for family use, it is currently widely used.
Function of anti-bedsore air cushion:
1. Regularly inflate and deflate the two airbags alternately, so that the landing position of the bedridden person’s body changes constantly;
2. It not only plays the role of artificial massage, but also promotes blood circulation and prevents muscle atrophy;
3. Continuous work without manual intervention; Characteristics of bedsore prevention air cushion
1. The ultra-low mute design can give patients a quiet and comfortable convalescent environment;
2. The air cushion adopts medical PVC PU, which is different from the previous rubber and nylon products. It is strong, waterproof and breathable, free of any allergens, and can be used safely.
3. Multiple air chambers fluctuate alternately, continuously massage patients, promote blood circulation, effectively improve tissue ischemia and hypoxia, and prevent local tissue from long-term pressure to produce bedsores;
4. Use microcomputer to control and adjust the charging and discharging speed;
5. It is controlled by double-tube circulating inflation microcomputer, and the service life of the host is longer.
