Protekt Aire 3600AB Mattress with Raised Side Air Bolsters by Proactive Medical

Who Uses the Protekt Aire 3600AB Mattress with Raised Side Air Bolsters? Caregivers use this at-home air hospital mattress for patients and loved ones who have pressure sores or are at risk of developing them.

Why They Love It: This air mattress offers both alternating pressure therapy and low air loss therapy. The alternating pressure helps treat existing pressure sores while preventing the development of new ones.

The Protekt Aire 3600AB Mattress with Raised Side Air Bolsters combines low air loss and alternating pressure therapies into one convenient system for optimal patient comfort. The mattress is made up of 20 individual air bladders that offer ideal pressure redistribution. Its alternating pressure feature moves the air around the mattress automatically, adjusting the weight distribution under the patient without caregiver assistance. The bolsters reduce the possibility of patients rolling out of bed and injuring themselves.

The Protekt Aire 3600AB Alternating Pressure Mattress System with Bolsters uses a unique cell-on-cell design, which incorporates a one-way valve. In the event of a power failure, this technology ensures that the mattress will continue to hold air in the lower 4 inches of the mattress, keeping it from bottoming out. Patients remain on a soft and comfortable surface until power is restored. 

The Protekt Aire 3600AB Mattress with Raised Side Air Bolsters has two modes: alternating pressure mode and static mode. The alternating pressure mode functions on a 10-minute preset cycle, inflating and deflating under the patient to adjust weight distribution. The continuous adjustment helps treat existing pressure sores and also helps prevent new ones. In addition, the mattress's pillow top feature prevents unnecessary movement of the head and neck during alternating mode. Static mode holds the pressure still to make patient transfers easier and safer. Users can engage static mode with an easy flip of a switch on the control panel.

The Proactive Protekt Aire 3600AB features air bolsters around the mattress's perimeter. These bolsters help keep patients from rolling out of bed. A cutout in the middle lets patients get into and out of bed without having to climb over anything. Should the airflow become compromised, the mattress has a visual low pressure alarm to indicate if there is an issue.

The Protekt Aire Mattress with Raised Side Air Bolsters has 18 laser holes that assist with airflow, keeping patients cool, dry, and comfortable. The Aire 3000 pump works quietly so as not to disturb patients. The dial on the pump allows patients or caregivers to customize the mattress's pressure levels for optimal comfort.
