Product Description
Alternating Pressure Pad with Variable Pressure Pump — 130 Air Cells, Twin Size
The Alternating Pressure Pad by Vive Health is designed to provide relief from bedsores and ulcers caused by prolonged bed rest. Equipped with 130 individually heat-sealed air cells that alternate inflation in approximately 6-minute cycles, the pad evenly distributes body weight to promote circulation and minimize pressure point formation for immobilized or low-mobility patients. The included ultra-quiet variable pressure pump offers multiple pressure settings for a customizable experience. Supports up to 300 lbs. Available in Beige and Dark Blue.
Key Features
Alleviates Bedsores and Pressure Ulcers
The alternating pressure system promotes increased circulation and helps manage skin maceration by evenly distributing weight to relieve pressure spots. Ideal for immobilized or weak patients who cannot shift their weight frequently during extended bed rest.
130 Individually Heat-Sealed Air Cells
Each of the 130 air cells alternately inflates and deflates to create a dynamic support surface that continuously redistributes pressure. Each cell is heat-sealed for a leak-resistant, durable construction.
Quiet Variable Pressure Pump
The ultra-quiet variable pressure pump delivers constant airflow with multiple adjustable pressure levels. Each alternating pressure cycle is approximately six minutes, providing continuous, uninterrupted pressure redistribution.
Durable Construction — Supports Up to 300 lbs
The premium latex-free vinyl pad supports up to 300 lbs and features a waterproof surface for easy cleaning. Flexible, non-binding air hoses simplify installation on any standard or hospital bed mattress.
How to Set Up
- Position the mattress pad on the bed, securely tucking the ends underneath the existing mattress.
- Connect the mattress feed pipes to the pump using the included flexible air hose.
- Secure the pump to a stable location and plug into a grounded outlet.
- Turn on the pump and begin inflation.
- Ensure the pad is fully inflated before positioning the patient on top of it.
