Our research shows that many family's often try multiple sources and products to heal stubborn bedsores. They often do not have the correct guidance and are sometimes mislead when trying to do the right thing.
Here are a few tips you can do that we have found to help.
#1 Heat and moisture is bad! (stay away from products like tempurpedic memory foam and sheepskin pads. These products, although soft and comfortable to the touch, can generate heat and friction causing the patient to sweat. Heat and sweat can cause the skin to breakdown.
#2 Keep your skin hydrated with moisturizers, especially after a bath or shower
#3 Inspect skin daily. Look for redness or any skin breakdown. Report any changes to you healthcare professional.
#4 Skin should be washed with warm (avoid hot) water and use gentle cleansers to minimize dryness.
#5 Avoid aggressive massage or massaging over bony areas such as hips
How to select the best alternating pressure mattress for my family member?
The most expensive mattress does not mean its the best choice for you!!
Here is why.
People call us all the time and say "I saw another alternating pressure mattress system at my local distributor for $8000.00 -$15,000 Your mattress is $1450.00 what is the difference?? Our answer is nothing ! Many of the high priced adjustable air mattresses have the same medicare codes as the less expensive models. These medical distributors bill through medicare. If you want to buy an air mattress from a local medical distributor they will often sell you their products for the same price that medicare would have reimbursed them for over time!.
We are a manufacturing group. We have no conflict of interest billing through medicare or insurance company's. All of our products are brand new and are designed to heal and prevent bed sores. We will not sell you a used or rental product like many of the home health care distributors.
So the million dollar question is "what mattress should I select?" Now all of the mattresses on our site will prevent and heal bed sores but we have a specific product we would like to introduce you to.
The Tradewind PM 8080!http://medicalairmattress.com/choice1.html
This model is designed to heal all the stages 1-4 so it covers the complete spectrum.
The mattress remains inflated in the event of a power outage. This is a useful feature for the home health care market.

Adjustable cycle times. This feature allows you to control how often the mattress alternates. This feature is new to many alternating and adjustable hospital beds.
