Prevent bed sores or pressure sores on comatose or bedridden patients
Bedsores, more properly known as pressure ulcers are caused by many factors such as: unrelieved pressure; friction; humidity; shearing forces; temperature; age; continence and medication.
Such sores occur mostly in bed ridden, disabled, paralyzed, coma patients, many elderly and senior citizens of the world. It can happen to any part of the body, especially portions over elbows, knees, and ankles.
Bedsores are fatal. However we can prevent it from happening by using the ripple air mattress.
Ripple air mattress is sometimes called as anti bedsores mattress, alternating pressure mattress, alternating air pressure relief mattress which is such a mouthful indeed!
How does a Ripple Air Mattress work to prevent bed sores?
Imagine playing a guitar and pressing the strings for 1 hour. Soon your finger will form callouses and your skin will be rough. Now imagine that you apply the same pressure for more than 24 hours! The same idea is true for the cause of bed sore: unrelieved pressure.
Normal healthy people alternate positions, toss and turn in their sleep. We "wiggle" our way out of our consciousness while we are still asleep. Hence we would never have bed sores, even if we were to sleep 12 hours. The pressure from one part of our body is relieved to another when we "wiggle".
Comatose or bedridden patients (e.g. due to stroke, paralysis), cannot relieve the pressure. Hence the skin is forever pressed to the bed, continuously. Furthermore, the heat trapped between the patient's body and the mattress will cause sores and ulcers to appear.
Ripple air mattress is like a cushion of air inflated tubes which pump air alternatively to different sections of the body, allowing better ventilation and air flow and relieving pressure. This pumping action is discreet and does not cause too much "stress" to the patient. Patients will feel that they are literally lying on a bed of air as micro air outlets allow cold air to escape from the tubes, enhancing ventilation and comfort level.
How to install the Ripple Air Mattress?
Super easy. Almost plug and play. Plug the cable, press the power button, and there it is!
