A Hospital Air Bed is a specially designed medical bed equipped with air-filled mattresses or air cells that help in preventing and managing bedsores or pressure ulcers in patients who are bedridden for long periods. The bed provides comfort and proper body support by distributing the patient’s weight evenly across the surface. It is commonly used in hospitals, nursing homes, and home healthcare settings.
These air beds are powered by an air pump or compressor that maintains continuous airflow, adjusting pressure automatically or manually to ensure patient comfort. Some models feature alternating pressure systems, where air cells inflate and deflate cyclically to enhance blood circulation and relieve pressure points.
