The Air2Care is a 2-cell alternating pressure system. It is suitable for use in care facilities and clinics, including long-term care. The system is available both as a mattress replacement and as a support for passive mattresses. The control unit is available in two versions. An additional active seat cushion offers the option of 24-hour care. The top cover is a high quality 2 way stretch vapour permeable Dartex material. This material allows the skin to breathe and removes vapour from the skin surface, thus preventing skin maceration. Air2Care offers the versatility of a choice of mattress types – overlay, air + foam mattress replacement, air + air mattresss replacement and seat cushion. This versatility allows the carer to make the best choice for the patient's requirements. The System Control Units are simple and intuitive to use, the Air2Care 10 is a simple analogue unit whereas the Air2Care 20 is a digital microprocessor controlled unit with the added functionality of Constant Low Pressure. Both SCUs have easy to use bed hooks, an ergonomically designed 'scoop' handle and anti-vibration pads to eliminate any noise. The mattress remains inflated if put into transport mode for up to 12 hours, allowing the SCU to go with the patient to the chair. The mattress remains inflated and ready for the patient to return and re-attach the SCU. Provision of a seat cushion gives the patient 24 hour protection whether in bed or in a chair. Air mattress provides a single layer patient surface that alternates between 2 cells in a 12-minute cycle pattern. S
