Collection: Dynamic & Alternating Pressure Mattresses
Dynamic and alternating pressure mattresses are the clinical standard for medium to very-high-risk pressure ulcer prevention in care homes, nursing facilities, and NHS settings. Unlike static foam mattresses, dynamic systems use an electric pump to continuously alternate pressure between air cells — actively offloading vulnerable tissue and preventing the sustained pressure that leads to pressure damage in immobile or high-dependency residents.
-
Alternating pressure cell technology — cells inflate and deflate in sequence to continuously redistribute pressure away from bony prominences, reducing tissue ischaemia risk
-
Low air loss systems — micro-perforated cells allow a gentle flow of air across the skin surface, managing moisture and temperature for residents with existing pressure damage or high perspiration
-
Dynamic lateral rotation — advanced systems providing automated lateral turning support for complex, high-dependency residents who require regular repositioning
-
Adjustable pressure settings — pump controls allow pressure to be calibrated to resident weight and clinical need, ensuring optimal therapeutic performance
-
Suitable for medium to very-high-risk residents — appropriate for residents assessed under Waterlow, Braden, or Norton scales requiring active pressure management
-
Compatible with profiling beds — designed to maintain performance through the full profiling range without compromising alternating cell function
