Anti-decubitus mattresses
24 products
Anti-decubitus mattresses are specialized products for medical beds designed to prevent and treat pressure ulcers in patients with limited mobility. These therapeutic surfaces help distribute body weight evenly, reducing pressure on vulnerable areas and promoting proper blood circulation.
How do pressure ulcer mattresses work?
A pressure ulcer mattress works by using a compressor to distribute air pressure, eliminating pressure points that can lead to tissue damage. Special, hypoallergenic materials are used to make a pressure ulcer mattress. The anti-decubitus mattress adapts to the contours of the body, improving blood circulation in vulnerable areas of immobile patients, providing individualized support for different levels of impairment.
Types of pressure ulcer mattresses
A pressure ulcer mattress is mainly used in hospitals, long-term care facilities, home health care facilities, and anywhere where patients with limited mobility need prolonged bed rest to prevent tissue damage.
Static mattresses
A static pressure ulcer mattress maintains controlled pressure around the entire perimeter, without moving components. Such models are suitable for preventing pressure ulcers and treating mild cases. These can be mattresses filled with foam, gel, or water to conform to the patient's body shape.
Dynamic mattresses
Pressure ulcer mattresses can be equipped with moving components that actively change the pressure distribution. They are recommended for severe patients and include:
- Variable pressure systems with air chambers that inflate and release air.
- Models with low pressure loss that ensure constant air circulation.
- Mattresses with lateral rotation, head and foot elevation.
Dynamic mattresses offer higher efficiency in severe cases, but are usually more expensive and may generate noise.
Key selection criteria
To prevent diaper rash and pressure ulcers in problem areas such as the back of the head, elbows, tailbone, and heels, you need to buy a pressure ulcer mattress. When choosing the type of product, consider the following factors:
- Material - polyurethane foam, latex, gel, or air chambers.
- The presence of a compressor for automatic pressure control.
- Maximum allowable weight.
- Additional features, such as antibacterial coating, adjustable stiffness, noise level, and movable zones.

FAQ
Can I use a pressure ulcer mattress with a regular bed?
Yes, most mattresses are designed for standard hospital and home beds and are placed on top of a regular mattress. However, some dynamic models may require special support.
How long does a pressure ulcer mattress last?
With proper care, good quality static models usually last about 2 years, while dynamic models with mechanical components may require replacement parts after 3-5 years of regular use.
Which pressure ulcer mattress is better to choose: static or dynamic?
The choice depends on the patient's condition. Static mattresses are suitable for prevention and mild cases, while dynamic systems are recommended for patients with severe pressure ulcers or those at high risk.
