The Med Aire Bariatric Low Air Loss Mattress Replacement System by Drive Medical is perfect for people looking for alternating pressure for Bariatric people. The alternating pressure system is optimized for pressure redistribution for people with up to Stage IV pressure ulcer, and thus was designed to prevent, treat, and manage pressure ulcers in a home, long term care, or acute care setting. The cell-on-cell design of 10" deep air cells prevents "bottoming out" which is when the patient would sink to the bottom of the mattress. The Med Aire Bariatric Low Air Loss Mattress even provides an additional 24 hours of use in the event of a power outage. The advanced digital pump allows for a custom setting which allows the individual to set the unit to his comfort and safety needs, and will even auto return to a alternating pressure mode if the system is left on static mode for more than 2 hours. The convenient cover stretches 4 ways, is low sheer, fluid resistant, vapor permeable, quilted and zippered. In the unlikely event that one of the 20 air cells malfunction due to a puncture, they are easily removed and replaced. The unit also has a pillow function allowing 3 air cells at the head of the bed to stay in a static mode for better comfort and easier sleep. The system has 3 distinct diagnostic alarms which tell you whether the problem is with the mattress or the pump allowing for easy and effective troubleshooting. Be sure to consider the Med Aire Bariatric Low Air Loss Mattress Replacement System for effective treatment and ideal comfort.

Why We Like It
The Med-Aire Plus 10” Bariatric Alternating Pressure Mattress Replacement System features an Auto-Firm mode, which fully inflates the bladders of the system to aid in transferring in and out of the bed. All 20 of the 10-inch-deep bladders are easily removed and replaced in the event of a puncture. The system also has a Head Pillow mode, which keeps the three cells by the head inflated during static mode, while the Seat Inflate mode ensures the user stays comfortable while the top part of the bed is raised for long periods of time.
In the event of a power outage, the Med-Aire Plus 10” Bariatric Alternating Pressure Mattress Replacement System stays inflated for up to 24 hours, ensuring the user stays comfortable and supported. Three diagnostic alarms alert you when there is a problem with the mattress or the pump, while the CPR valve allows for quick deflation in the event of an emergency. The Med-Aire Plus 10” Bariatric Alternating Pressure Mattress Replacement System comes with a 4-way stretch cover, which is low sheer, fluid-proof, vapor permeable, quilted and zippered, adding to the overall quality and design of the system.

This bed arrived in a timely fashion. However, as my brother passed away, we did not even open it. The staff was extremely helpful with the return and most integrable. I have nothing but good words to say.
We use the chair to improve accessibility to our art galleries for anyone who needs it. The ride is extremely smooth, even over thresholds to the outdoors. People can use the chair like a walker or to push companions. It is not heavy or difficult to push and was very easy to put the final pieces together. It collapses nicely into our coat area. It's a good looking chair at a very affordable price. 100% recommend for similar needs.
