Alternating Pressure Mattress

The Invacare CareGuard 8000 is a powered alternating pressure mattress
replacement for hospital bed or home use, designed to aid in the
prevention and treatment of Stage I to Stage IV pressure ulcers (bed
sores). The CareGuard 8000 reduces interface pressure by alternately
inflating and deflating 20 individual 8-inch air cell bladders every four
minutes. Patients with immobility or perceptual problems who remain bedridden for extended periods can develop open sores at points where the weight of the body compresses the skin, often under bony prominences like the hips or shoulders. These sores are called pressure ulcers. The alternating pressure mattress replacement system helps in pressure ulcer treatment and management by shifting pressure to different parts of the body in a repeating cycle, which prevents any body area from being under pressure all the time. The power unit control combines simplified operations with effective results.
