Air Hospital Beds are carefully designed for greater comfort and enhanced circulation. These medical air mattresses also play a pivotal role in preventing -- or treating -- serious ailments related to extended bed rest, such as pressure sores and skin shearing.When selecting an Air Hospital Bed from Vitality Medical, consider:The comprehensively equipped Air Hospital Beds sold by Vitality Medical provide caregivers with consistency and support positive patient outcomes. Hospital Air Mattresses can be a vital tool used by nursing staff, enabling them to help identify patients at risk and gauge the risk's severity by recognizing the six risk factors involved in preventive care. In addition to these benefits, those sleeping on Alternating Pressure Mattresses will wake refreshed. This is because the continually changing air pressure eliminates tossing and turning while keeping blood and fluid flowing for enhanced circulation. Turning: Many models utilize air chambers and/or cylinders to laterally turn an occupant.
This helps prevent or treat bedsores by taking pressue off of delicate/injured skin. Comfort is also increased through greater circulation and mucosal drainage. Select models, like Drive Medical's 10 Inch Lateral Rotation Mattress with on Demand Low Air Loss, can laterally transfer occupants from their backs to their sides by up to 40 degrees. Size: Medical Air Mattresses are right-sized for hospital bed frames, ensuring comfort and safety. Sizes vary from standard models that are 75 inches long x 32 inches wide, to extended or bariatric models that are up to 80 inches long and 42 inches wide, such as Drive Medical's Med-Aire PLUS Bariatric Alternating Pressure Low Air Loss Mattress System bed. Skin health: In addition to turning, Hospital Air Mattresses also have elements that promote skin health. These include anti-shearing zones among the tops and bottom ends of the mattress that guard sensitive scapulas and heels from unnecessary friction. These zones are found in beds such as Span America's PressureGuard Turn Select Air Mattress System.
Drive Medical's Mattress System with Pulsation True Low Air Loss features exclusive Pulsate Mode technology. This automatically reduces air flow every 30 seconds, getting blood flowing and reducing pressure to prevent bedsores formation. Safety: Several Air Mattresses have features, such as a static perimeter, that prevents entrapment between a mattress and bed rails. These include Med-Aire's PLUS DP Defined Perimeter Alternating Pressure Air Mattress Overlay Low Air Loss System 36 x 80 x 8. Transfer Capability: If you are a caregiver, consider a medical air mattress with a transfer mode that automatically inflates or deflates as needed to assist with daily activities. These models include the PressureGuard APM2 Mattress. For additional peace of mind, select units remain inflated during power outages to keep occupants supported. These include Invacare's microAIR MA90 Alternating Pressure Lateral Rotation Mattress. Budget: Even the most budget-friendly hospital air beds sold by Vitality Medical can positively impact occupant wellness.
Invacare's value-packed ProBasics SatinAir APM Low Air Loss Mattress, for example, includes the essentials like laser-cut vents that minimize air buildup and low air loss for proper pressure ulcer (bedsore) treatment and prevention. If outfitting multiple beds or watching a budget closely, consider an overlay for traditional innerspring mattreses. These overlays, such as Invacare's CareGuard Alternating Pressure Pump and Pad, feature basic air pressure cells for patients at risk of developing pressure ulcers.

Repose Beds - Affordable Bed Collections Summer and Winter Pocket Spring Range Hi-tech cleaning for your mattress Earlier beds were cleaned by putting them out in the sun to kill the germs and beating them with a stick to remove dust. But today there are options of shampooing and hi-tech vacuum cleaning available for the same. 21 Oct 2011 , Citizen Matters Even after making her home in Koramangla, dust-free, Shilpa Rao, 55, a teacher at an international school, suffered from persistent allergic reactions. Her doctor suggested that the problem might lie in her mattress and she needs to get it cleaned.
She contacted ‘Clean Fanatic', a company specialising in cleaning mattresses. Shilpa says that after the cleaning, her wheezing has reduced considerably. Cleaning in progress at the Prabhakarans' home in Banaswadi. Pic: Yogaraj S Mudalgi Brothers Anuroop and Sanjay Prabhakaran, 34 and 38, who live in Banaswadi, too opted for the service after constant allergic reactions to dust. "We thought it was the pollution but we are not exposed to dust outside so we decided to see if this helps," says Anuroop.Mattresses harbour millions of dust mites, that feed on dead skin and dust. These mites thrive in all seasons and do not go away after washing or shampooing. Dr.Nagendra Prasad Komarla, Allergy Physician at Bengaluru Allergy Centr, off Mission Road says that the mite float easily in air as they are small and light. "Every one inhales mite bodies along with fecal particles. The body and the droppings of mites are rich in proteins and those vulnerable to allergies become sensitised to the mites and react to get nasal allergy, lung allergy (Allergy asthma) and skin allergy," he says.
Businesses like Clean Fanatic and Sanitair claim to specialise in sanitising mattresses. They use a High-Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filter based vacuuming equipment, which can suck out particles of up to 0.3 microns in size. Dr Komarla says that HEPA fitted vacuum cleaners are better than normal vacuum cleaners as they can suck in more minute particles. He adds that traditional methods of putting the mattress in the sun and beating it can help but does not entirely get rid of mites as they might settle down again with the dust. Pic: Yogaraj S Mudalgi "Sunlight is strong enough to kill mites but their droppings might still remain in the mattresses," he says. He adds that an average person does not need to go in for specialised mattress cleaning services regularly. "It can be of help to people suffering allergies or asthma," he says.Nishant Prasad, 34, who started Clean Fanatic seven months ago says that their cleaning process consists of three steps. It starts with sweeping the mattress with Ultra Violet light stick, then vacuuming the mattress with a HEPA filter and finally, sprayed with an organic neem based spray to minimize recurrence of dust mites.
The HEPA filter does not collect the dust in a bag but in a bowl of water, attached to the machine, making the entire process dust-free. Sanitair, a one-year old company based in Indiranagar, has a single step of using the HEPA vacuum machine. The process takes an average half hour per mattress.The sanitising process is different from mattress cleaning service like Tippu Cleaning Services on Bannerghatta Raod. Prasahant, the owner, says that they clean bedding by first applying a chemical based shampoo and scrubbing it thoroughly. Then, the lather is sucked out through a normal vacuum and left to dry for an hour. Shibi Agin, manager at Sanitair, says that just shampooing a mattress or a sofa is not enough to kill the mites. "Making a mattress wet only makes it easier for the mites to thrive." She adds that just cleaning mattresses does not take care of mites; sofas and pillows too have to be regularly cleaned. "Mites are present in pillows, quilts, sofas and mattresses. They can cling to our clothes and begin to infest sanitised mattresses," she says.
