Low-air-loss beds are specialized hospital beds designed to reduce pressure on a patient’s skin by circulating air through an inflatable mattress. They help prevent pressure ulcers and improve comfort for patients who must remain immobile for extended periods, such as those in acute care or long-term care settings.
These devices are typically regulated as medical equipment, often requiring compliance with electrical safety standards and pressure management performance criteria. They are commonly supplied as complete systems, including the mattress, compressor, and control unit, and are intended for clinical use in healthcare facilities.
