The COBALT Health AirTec 8 Alternating Pressure Mattress is an advanced dynamic mattress replacement system. Featuring 8″ alternating cells, it is a versatile mattress that is suitable for users who have low to high pressure sore risk assessments, up to stage 4. The total height of the mattress is only 200mm, which is an added benefit when using a floorline bed as it reduces the risk of injury from falls.

The AirTec Automatic Pump

The mattress has a whisper quiet digital AirTec pump featuring intelligent control. The system is simple to set up and operate for home or facility use, with only the patient weight required to set the appropriate inflation level. Cycle time can be adjusted to 10, 15, 20 or 25 minute programs, or it can be set to static mode if this is desired. The system also features a seat inflate mode, in either alternating or static programs, to provide extra support, particularly in the sacrum area, when the bed backrest is elevated. The AirTec 8 Alternating Pressure Mattress has simple visual and audible alarms to alert the caregiver of any system or power error.

The AirTec 8 Mattress

The AirTec 8 Alternating Pressure Mattress is made up of 20 interconnected 8″ cells which operate in an 1-in-2 alternating pattern. In alternating mode, pressure is periodically redistributed throughout the body in order to mimic natural sleep movement patterns, and to avoid long term pressurisation of tissue which can cause pressure injury.

A constant low-pressure mode is available, where the overall mattress pressure is two-thirds lower when compared to the same pressure level during alternating mode. In this mode the cells do not alternate, instead the cells are equally inflated to a lower-pressure level, which provides users with greater immersion and envelopment.

The cover of the mattress is a stretch Nylon PU material which is breathable and vapour permeable, yet water resistant. This reduces shear and provides a high Moisture Vapour Transfer Rate (MVTR), which further reduces the risk of pressure sores. The cover is easily removed for laundry with a wrap-around covered waterfall zip. The mattress features a manual CPR pull strap to quickly deflate the mattress in an emergency, and is fire retardant.

The AirTec 8 is available in Single or King Single sizes to suit Cobalt Health beds. It has a safe working load limit of 200kg.
