Protekt® Aire 4600DXAB Alternating Pressure Mattress System w/ Cell on Cell Base, Raised Side Bolsters 84600DXAB

Call 866-218-0902 to speak with a mattress specialist.

Dual therapy with built-in safety — alternating pressure relieves pressure points, low air loss manages moisture, and raised side air bolsters keep patients stable and secure throughout the night.

The Protekt Aire 4600DXAB is a full therapeutic mattress system designed for patients at moderate to high risk of pressure injuries. It combines two proven therapies — alternating pressure and low air loss — into a single system, with a digital pump that allows caregivers to fine-tune settings based on patient weight and individual comfort needs.

What makes the 4600DXAB stand out from the standard 4600DX is the addition of integrated raised side air bolsters. These provide a physical barrier that reduces roll risk, supports proper positioning, and adds a meaningful layer of safety for patients who are restless, at fall risk, or difficult to reposition. For caregivers managing higher-acuity patients, this is not a minor feature — it can make a genuine difference in overnight safety and peace of mind.

The system also includes a cell-on-cell base layer that maintains support during power interruptions, helping prevent the patient from bottoming out and ensuring continuous protection even if the pump temporarily loses power.

Who Is This Mattress Best For?

• Patients at moderate to high risk for pressure injuries
• Patients who need both alternating pressure and low air loss therapy in one system
• Patients at risk of rolling, sliding, or who need consistent positioning support
• Caregivers who need overnight safety confidence without constant manual repositioning
• Home care, long-term care, and clinical environments

Key Features at a Glance

• Alternating pressure + low air loss dual therapy
• Raised side air bolsters for patient safety and positioning
• Digital pump with adjustable pressure and airflow settings
• 10-minute alternating cycle for consistent pressure relief
• Cell-on-cell base for protection during power loss
• Static mode for safe and easy patient transfers

Why Choose the 4600DXAB Over the Standard 4600DX?

The core therapy is the same — but the 4600DXAB adds integrated side air bolsters that the standard model does not have. For patients who are mobile enough to shift during sleep but not stable enough to reposition safely on their own, this addition addresses a real gap.

It is the better choice when fall prevention and positioning support are as important as pressure relief itself. If those concerns do not apply, the standard 4600DX covers the same therapeutic ground at a lower price point.
