The Drive Medical Med-Aire 5″ Air plus 3″ Foam Base Alternating Pressure & Low Air Loss Mattress System (Model Number 14530) is a comprehensive therapeutic support surface engineered for the prevention, treatment, and management of pressure ulcers in home, hospital, or long-term care environments, featuring an active mattress replacement design that combines alternating pressure and low air loss therapies to optimize pressure redistribution, shear/friction reduction, and microclimate control while supporting users up to 350 pounds across its 80-inch long by 36-inch wide by 8-inch high dimensions for seamless integration with standard bed frames. Its innovative construction incorporates eighteen 5-inch individual air bladders layered over a resilient 3-inch high-density foam base for enhanced immersion and power outage protection, ensuring continuous support even during electrical interruptions, complemented by a removable, quilted non-shear, anti-microbial cover that is fluid-resistant, vapor-permeable, and fully enclosed to safeguard against moisture, bacteria, and odors while facilitating easy wipe-down cleaning and machine washing for superior hygiene. The included quiet, adjustable pump delivers 8 liters per minute of airflow with a 10-minute alternating cycle or static mode for customizable firmness via patient weight settings, promoting optimal comfort and compliance, while built-in audio and visual alarms alert to low air pressure for added safety, and a pillow function provides head stability to minimize neck strain during repositioning or rest. Ideal for bedridden seniors, post-surgical patients, or individuals at high risk of skin breakdown due to limited mobility or chronic conditions, this system includes quick-release CPR valves for rapid deflation in emergencies, easy-to-replace air cells for low-maintenance servicing, and HCPCS code E0277 for reimbursement eligibility, arriving pre-assembled for immediate deployment and fostering greater patient dignity and caregiver efficiency through its reliable, non-disruptive performance. Backed by Drive Medical’s one-year limited warranty against defects in materials and workmanship for the original purchaser when acquired through authorized dealers, this essential mattress system delivers enduring quality, reliability, and peace of mind for comprehensive wound care and enhanced well-being.
