Alternating Pressure Pad

The alternating pressure pad is the #1 recommended mattress topper to prevent bedsores.

Advantages of the pressure pad over the egg crate mattress include:

–  More durable and comfortable
–  Fluid proof (not easily soiled by urine, stool, vomit, etc) and easy to clean
–  Adjustable pressure for patient’s specific needs
–  Decreases the need for turning the patient as the alternating pads redistribute the weight based on the patient’s position
