An alternating-pressure bed mattress overlay system combines a specialized overlay mattress with a pump that also serves as the control unit. The system continuously shifts pressure points on a patient’s body, helping to improve comfort and reduce the risk of pressure ulcers, especially for immobile or low‑body‑fat individuals.
When browsing this category, note that these systems are regulated as assemblies of medical devices, with the overlay and pump considered together for compliance. They are typically supplied as a complete unit and are intended for clinical settings where pressure‑relief therapy is needed.
