Tubular Bedsore Prevention Mattress: FOFO’s Proactive Shield

Pressure sores (bedsores) pose a significant threat to immobile patients, causing pain and complications. Traditional static mattresses often fail to adequately redistribute pressure, increasing risk. The Tubular Bedsore Prevention Mattress offers a dynamic solution.

These advanced Prevention Mattresses utilize interconnected tubular air cells. Sophisticated pumps rhythmically inflate and deflate these cells in alternating patterns (typically every 30-120 seconds). This dynamic pressure redistribution is key – no single area endures prolonged pressure, significantly improving blood flow to vulnerable tissues like the sacrum and heels. Constant, gentle movement also reduces shear forces.

Choosing a high-quality Tubular Bedsore Prevention Mattress, like those from FOFO, represents proactive care. It’s an essential investment in patient comfort, dignity, and the prevention of debilitating and costly pressure injuries, providing continuous protection for those most at risk.

Specifications:

Technical Features:

• Alternating Pressure System – Dynamic air cells sequentially inflate and deflate to redistribute pressure and improve blood circulation.
• Medical-Grade PVC Material – Durable, waterproof, and easy to clean, with a thickness of 0.32mm for optimal comfort and hygiene.
• Adjustable Firmness Settings – Customizable pressure levels (30-110 mmHg) to suit patient needs and prevent pressure ulcers.
• Low-Noise Pump Operation – Quiet air pump (5-7 L/min) with a 12-minute cycle time for uninterrupted therapy.
• Fire-Retardant & Safety Certified – Complies with medical safety standards, including Class II electrical shock protection.

Instructions for Use:

1. Proper Inflation: Ensure the mattress is inflated to the recommended pressure level (30-110 mmHg) to provide optimal support and pressure redistribution.

2. Regular Inspection: Check the mattress daily for leaks, punctures, or uneven air distribution to maintain effectiveness and patient comfort.

3. Correct Positioning: Align the mattress properly on the bed frame, ensuring full coverage and no gaps to prevent pressure points.

4. Power Supply Safety: Always connect the pump to a stable 220-240V power supply and ensure the Class II electric shock protection is functional.

5. Cleaning & Maintenance: Clean the PVC surface regularly with mild disinfectants, avoiding harsh chemicals that may damage the material.

User Reviews:

“Very effective for pressure relief!”
– My patient used to develop bedsores frequently, but since switching to this mattress, there’s a noticeable improvement. The alternating air pressure works well, and the medical-grade PVC feels durable.

“Good quality, but the pump could be quieter.”
– The Prevention Mattress itself does a great job at preventing bedsores, and the airflow is consistent. However, the pump is a bit noisy at night, which can be distracting in a quiet room.

“Easy to clean and comfortable.”
– As a caregiver, I appreciate how simple it is to wipe down this Prevention Mattress. The patient finds it comfortable, and the adjustable pressure settings help with different stages of sore prevention.

FAQs:

Q1: “How does this Prevention Mattress actually help prevent bedsores?”
A: “Great question! Our Tubular Bedsore Prevention Mattress uses alternating air pressure technology, which gently shifts pressure points to improve blood flow. This reduces prolonged pressure on any single area—key for preventing bedsores, especially for immobile patients.”

Q2: “My patient tends to sweat a lot—can this mattress stay hygienic?”
A: “Absolutely! The medical-grade PVC material is waterproof and wipeable. Just use mild soap and water for spills or sweat. Plus, the tubular design allows air circulation, keeping the surface drier than traditional mattresses.”

Q3: “My loved one weighs around 120kg—will this Prevention Mattress still work?”
A: “Yes! It’s designed for weights up to 135kg, with reinforced seams and durable PVC. The pump adjusts pressure automatically to distribute weight evenly, so it stays effective and safe for heavier users.”
