What are the stages of pressure ulcers, and how can they be treated quickly?
Pressure ulcers mainly occur due to skin pressure, but their formation is a complex process caused by the combined effects of local and systemic factors leading to skin tissue deformation and necrosis.
According to the international NPUAP/EPUAP pressure ulcer classification system, pressure ulcers are divided into six types: Stage I, Stage II, Stage III, Stage IV, Unstageable, and Suspect Deep Tissue Injury.
The FOFO medical air mattress is a key preventive measure for patients who are confined to bed for long periods to avoid pressure ulcers. It utilizes physiological and dynamic principles by employing an alternating air pump to manage the pressure through alternating inflation and deflation of two or more different pressure zones on the mattress. This effectively reduces the risk of pressure ulcers caused by prolonged excessive local pressure. The product has been strictly reviewed by the food and drug regulatory authorities in China and Europe and the United States, meeting the standards for production and clinical use. It is an essential household item for patients who have suffered a stroke and those with high-level paraplegia, and it has achieved good results in various medium to large hospitals as well as in home settings.

What is the primary function of anti-decubitus mattresses and air cushions?
The primary function of anti-decubitus mattresses and air cushions is to prevent and alleviate pressure ulcers (bedsores). They distribute body pressure evenly, reducing the risk of prolonged pressure on specific tissues. For patients who already have pressure ulcers, these products can help alleviate symptoms and promote wound healing. Additionally, they enhance comfort and improve sleep quality.
What types of anti-decubitus mattresses and air cushions are available?
There are several types of anti-decubitus mattresses and air cushions: Static foam mattresses: Made from foam materials of varying densities and thicknesses, they provide good support and cushioning. Alternating pressure mattresses: Comprised of multiple air cells that inflate and deflate alternately, shifting the pressure points on the body to promote blood circulation. Water mattresses: Use the flow of water to distribute pressure and provide a soft support. Gel mattresses: Gel materials offer excellent pressure distribution and cushioning, suitable for patients who are bedridden for long periods. Air cushions: Typically used on chairs or wheelchairs, they provide support and pressure distribution through inflation, ideal for patients who sit for extended periods.
Are air mattresses good for bedsores?
Compared with foam mattresses, alternating pressure air mattresses or overlays probably result in health benefits that outweigh their costs in preventing pressure ulcers. Static air mattresses or overlays may be better than foam mattresses for ulcer healing, but may cost more.
What type of mattress is best for bedridden patients?
Innerspring or hybrid mattresses and gel foam mattresses are useful in this scenario as they retain less heat. A memory foam mattress with an open cell structure is the best as it circulates the heat instead of trapping it, thus allowing you to get a good night's sleep.
What are the cleaning and maintenance tips for anti-decubitus mattresses and air cushions?
When cleaning and maintaining anti-decubitus mattresses and air cushions, keep the following in mind: Regular cleaning: Use mild cleaning agents and a soft cloth to wipe the surface. Avoid harsh chemicals that can damage the material. For removable covers or sleeves, follow the product instructions for washing and drying. Proper inflation: Ensure that air cushions are inflated to the recommended pressure to maintain their effectiveness. Inspect for damage: Regularly check for any signs of wear or damage, such as leaks or tears, and replace or repair as necessary. Store correctly: When not in use, store the products in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to prevent damage.
