Reliable alternating pressure overlay system — designed to help prevent and manage pressure injuries by redistributing pressure using a powered bubble pad and pump.
The Drive Med-Aire Alternating Pressure Pump and Pad System is one of the most widely used pressure relief overlays for home care and clinical settings. It uses approximately 130 air cells that inflate and deflate in a timed cycle to reduce prolonged pressure on any one area of the body.
The quiet 4 LPM pump delivers consistent airflow and operates on a ~5-minute cycle, helping improve circulation and patient comfort during extended bed rest.
The durable bubble-style pad fits over most standard hospital mattresses and is available in versions with or without end flaps to help secure positioning.
