Bed Sore Prevention Mattress Pad an assistive technology device designed to prevent and manage pressure injuries, such as bed sores, by continuously redistributing body weight and improving circulation for individuals who remain in bed for extended periods. It functions as a therapeutic support surface placed on top of a standard mattress.
This device can assist individuals who are bedridden, have limited mobility, or are unable to independently reposition themselves, including those with physical disabilities, chronic illness, or recovery needs after surgery. It may also benefit caregivers by reducing the need for frequent manual repositioning while still supporting skin integrity and comfort.
The mattress pad features a system of approximately one hundred thirty air cells that alternately inflate and deflate in a wave-like pattern, which helps relieve pressure points and promote blood flow across different areas of the body. It includes a quiet electric pump that allows users or caregivers to adjust pressure levels for individualized comfort, with cycles that continuously shift pressure to reduce the risk of tissue breakdown. The pad is made from durable, waterproof vinyl material and securely attaches to the existing bed using flaps, preventing slipping during use. The system is designed to operate quietly to support restful sleep and consistent therapy.
The device measures approximately thirty six inches in width by seventy eight inches in length and supports up to approximately three hundred pounds
