Dual-therapy low air loss support with added stability for home care and long-term care use — the Drive Med-Aire Assure combines alternating pressure and low air loss therapy to manage pressure redistribution, moisture control, and skin protection in one practical mattress replacement system. Its 17 individual 5-inch air cells work together with a 3-inch foam base to support immersion, reduce pressure concentration, and provide backup support during power interruptions.

Commonly searched as a low air loss alternating pressure mattress, dual-therapy mattress system, or Drive Med-Aire mattress, this system is built for bedridden patients and individuals with limited mobility who spend extended time in bed — in home care, long-term care, and post-acute recovery environments.

Quick Summary

• Alternating pressure and low air loss therapy in one mattress replacement — 350 lb capacity
• 17 individual 5" air cells over a 3" foam base for immersion, pressure relief, and backup support
• 10-minute alternating cycle, adjustable weight settings, audio/visual low-pressure alarms

Why Choose the Drive Med-Aire Assure?

The Med-Aire Assure is the right fit for patients who need the skin protection benefits of low air loss therapy without stepping into a more complex clinical system. By combining low air loss and alternating pressure in a single setup, it addresses both moisture management and periodic pressure redistribution simultaneously — two of the most critical factors in preventing skin breakdown during extended bed rest.

The 3-inch foam base adds a meaningful layer of stability and backup support that is especially valuable in home care settings — reducing the risk of bottoming out and providing reassurance during temporary power loss. For caregivers balancing skin protection, comfort, and ease of daily use, the Med-Aire Assure delivers dependable therapeutic performance with straightforward controls.
