Mattresses: Powered

Powered mattresses are devices placed directly on a semi-electric or total electric hospital bed frame. They utilize alternating pressure, low air loss, or powered flotation without air loss. An air pump or blower provides either sequential inflation and deflation or a low interface pressure throughout. The mattresses have an inflated cell height of 5 inches or greater and a surface designed to reduce friction and shear. Indicated for patients with stage 2, 3, or 4 pressure ulcers or post-operative myocutaneous flaps or skin grafts. These devices require electricity for proper functioning.

Powered mattresses are devices placed directly on a semi-electric or total electric hospital bed frame. They utilize therapeutic modalities such as alternating pressure, low air loss or powered flotation without air loss to redistribute pressure to aid in the treatment or prevention of pressure ulcers or other indicated conditions. An air pump or blower provides either sequential inflation and deflation or a low interface pressure throughout the mattress.

Powered mattresses have an inflated cell height of 5 inches or greater and a surface designed to reduce friction and shear. Mattresses generally feature a durable waterproof cover that may also have antimicrobial properties depending on the manufacturer.

Powered mattresses feature the following general performance properties and attributes:
• Protects at-risk skin against friction and shear
• Manages heat and moisture to prevent skin breakdown
• May have side bolsters to ease patient egress
• May help minimize skin maceration

Powered mattresses are indicated for patients with stage 2, 3 or 4 pressure ulcers or post-operative myocutaneous flaps or skin grafts. These mattresses may also be indicated for the prevention of pressure ulcer formation in at-risk patients.

Powered mattresses are contraindicated for use on unstable spinal fractures and spinal cord injuries or for cervical traction.
