Clinical-grade dual therapy system — alternating pressure improves circulation while low air loss manages heat and moisture for advanced wound care support.

The DermaFloat APL is a high-performance mattress system designed for patients at moderate to high risk of pressure injuries. It combines alternating pressure therapy with integrated low air loss airflow to support both pressure redistribution and microclimate management.

Its alternating A/B air cell design continuously shifts pressure points to promote circulation and reduce tissue stress, while the low air loss system delivers airflow beneath the patient to help control heat and moisture. 

With approximately 20 individual air cells and high airflow output, the system provides consistent support and comfort for long-term care and clinical environments. 

Who Is This Mattress Best For?

• Patients at moderate to high risk for pressure injuries
• Users needing alternating pressure and low air loss therapy
• Patients with existing wounds requiring advanced care
• Individuals on extended bed rest
• Hospitals, long-term care, and advanced home care

Quick Summary

• Alternating pressure + low air loss therapy
