ACTIVE PRESSURE RELIEF

The ALPHABED system provides a true alternating support surface, offering effective pressure relief as the individual cells inflate and deflate alternately over a ten minute cycle. This action supports the patient or resident at low pressure and  periodically removes pressure from the body allowing oxygenation of the tissues, thereby helping to prevent skin breakdown and enhance healing. By restoring blood vessels to their fully opened shape, true alternating systems can generate up to 1.75 times the blood flow of static systems.
