COST EFFECTIVE SKIN PROTECTION
The Air2Care with an active 2-cell system provides excellent value for pressure injury prevention.*
The Air2Care alternating pressure mattress provides periodic pressure relief.
Localized Pressure Offloading The individual cell construction uses self-sealing valves that allow the cells to be individually deflated. This enables pressure to be removed from specific areas of the patient’s body, e.g. the heels. NOTE: Always complete a manual check to ensure the mattress does not bottom out due to a deflated cell.

Air2Care for Patients
Intermittent Pressure Reduction 2-Cell Alternating System Due to the alternating 2-cell system, Air2Care reduces pressure and helps to minimize sustained pressure peaks to the patient’s body. Alternating pressure can be used for pressure injury prevention as part of an overall program of care.
Minimized Risk of Bottoming Out While Sitting — Automatic detection of the raised backrest position. — The Single Point Fowler Boost feature helps to prevent the patient from bottoming out when sitting up. NOTE: Always follow EPUAP Guidelines for the latest best practice in patient positioning.4
The Air2Care mattress starts to increase air inflation when it detects the backrest has been raised by 30°.
Patient Comfort and Safety
The wide choice of cycle times allows caregivers to select the right balance of intermittent pressure reduction and patient comfort.
Support for Heavier Patients The Air2Care weight limit is 200kg and 250kg, depending upon the mattress width making it a useful choice for heavier patients (see page 15 for details). The higher SWL parameter as well as the extended dimensions of the mattress allow bariatric patients to be placed on the mattress. NOTE: SWL up to: the 250 kg weight limit with the size of 100 × 200 cm.
