MEDAIR DuoWave Air Mattress for Pressure Ulcer Prevention & Therapy
The MEDAIR DuoWave air mattress is an advanced alternating pressure support system designed to help prevent and manage pressure ulcers in patients with limited mobility. Engineered for clinical accuracy and everyday care, this air mattress is suitable for use in hospitals, nursing homes, and home-care settings..
This air mattress for pressure ulcers features an infinitely variable manual Duo Comfort adjustment, allowing caregivers to fine-tune individual air cell pressure based on the patient’s body weight. The system supports both lying and sitting positions, ensuring consistent pressure redistribution throughout the day. For added flexibility, the mattress can also be used in a static soft positioning mode when alternating pressure is not required.
The bi-elastic, quilted, and breathable cover enhances patient comfort while supporting airflow to reduce heat and moisture build-up. An integrated foam pocket prevents any foam underlay from slipping, ensuring stable positioning. Designed for practicality, the MEDAIR DuoWave allows quick repairs, as individual air cells can be replaced without changing the entire mattress. This makes it a reliable solution for patients at mild to high risk of pressure ulcers (Category 1–4), when repositioning is done regularly with or without assistance.
