What are Medical Mattresses?
Medical mattresses, also known as pressure-relief or pressure redistribution mattresses, are specialized support surfaces designed to prevent and manage pressure ulcers (bedsores) in individuals who are bedridden or have limited mobility. These mattresses function by evenly distributing body weight, thereby reducing prolonged pressure on vulnerable areas such as the hips, heels, and shoulders. Common types include alternating pressure mattresses, which cyclically inflate and deflate air cells to promote blood flow, and low air loss mattresses that help maintain a dry skin environment by circulating air. Utilizing medical mattresses is crucial in both clinical and home care settings to enhance patient comfort and promote skin integrity.
