The Meridian Ultra-Care 4800 is a full replacement mattress system designed to help prevent and treat pressure injuries in patients on extended bed rest. Its 20 air cell design cycles on a proven 10-minute alternating schedule, continuously shifting pressure away from vulnerable areas while the integrated low air loss feature helps manage heat and moisture.
