Quiet and powerful, this Invacare air mattress features 20 8-inch bladders that allow for deep submersion and excellent pressure redistribution.
Probasics Satin Air APM 2 Mattress is designed with laser air holes to improve circulation while minimizing heat build-up. This keeps the patient cool, dry and comfortable while using this mattress. Equipped with an antimicrobial cover, this air bed mattress is a safe, effective pressure ulcer treatment that is ideal for a wide variety of different types of patients. Designed with premium foam cut into square-shaped cells, the ProBasics SatinAir allows superior patient immersion and pressure redistribution. Audio and visual alarms notify patient and caregiver of low pressure or power outages.
How an Alternating Pressure Mattress Works
The mattress contains multiple cells, or air pockets, that get filled and emptied in an alternating fashion. This pressure change causes the surface to rise and fall, changing the amount of pressure on any given spot on the user. As the pressure drops, blood flow returns to normal. Cells get what they need to repair themselves and maintain their health. In cases where cells have died, blood flow is vital in helping to grow new ones.
How Does Low Air Loss Work?
Tiny holes in the top surface blow air out, which causes the patient to float. The patient experiences less pressure, which helps eliminate the cause of bedsores. The moving air also helps wick away moisture, so the user stays dry, helping it maintain its integrity.

How Pressure Ulcers (Bed Sores) Form
Blood normally flows to the skin, carrying oxygen and nutrients. But when under pressure, the blood supply gets cut off. Skin cells can survive for a time without getting everything they need. However, when they go for too long without nutrients, they weaken and eventually begin to die.
Pressure arises from many sources, but often is temporary. Problems typically happen from laying in one position in bed for extended periods. The first sign of trouble is often the reddening or discoloration of the affected skin. (Stage 1.)
If not treated, then pitting, or an ulcer can form. Pain or discomfort is typically present during this stage. The sore can look like a scrape or a blister. Sometimes a small crater forms. (Stage 2.)
During Stage 3, the ulcer gets deeper, sometimes exposing a layer of fat. Often there is little, if any, pain because of the damage to the tissues. The risk of infection rises.
Stage 4 ulcers extend into the muscles and can reach the bone. The damage is extensive, and the danger of infection increases.
