Alternating-pressure bed mattresses are specialized mattress systems designed to reduce pressure on the body while lying down. They use interconnected air cells that inflate and deflate in sequence to shift weight evenly across the surface, helping prevent pressure sores and improving circulation for patients who are bedridden or immobile.
These devices are typically regulated as medical devices and may require compliance with standards for patient safety and performance. They are often supplied as part of a system, requiring connection to an external pump for operation, and are commonly used in clinical, homecare, or long-term care settings.
