The ObboMed UtilityAir Alternating Pressure Ulcer Prevention Mattress – OB-1600 is an advanced medical-grade alternating pressure mattress designed to enhance comfort, safety, and skin protection for patients at risk of pressure injuries. Featuring 15° self-lateral rotation technology, specialized air cells gently inflate and deflate to redistribute weight, improve circulation, and reduce prolonged pressure—helping prevent bedsores and pressure ulcers while promoting deeper, more restful sleep.
\nEngineered for clinical and homecare use, this low air loss mattress system includes a 4-inch sinking surface with patented guardrails to ensure patient centralization and fall prevention. The true Low Air Loss (LAL) therapy regulates heat and moisture, creating a dry, healthy microclimate for stages 1–4 pressure ulcer care. With Fowler seating support and a durable, antimicrobial, liquid-proof cover, the OB-1600 delivers reliable performance, comfort, and long-term skin protection.
\n✅ Alternating Pressure Therapy – Advanced air cell technology continuously redistributes pressure to reduce tissue stress, improve circulation, and help prevent pressure ulcers and bedsores.
\n✅ 15° Self-Lateral Rotation System – Specialized air cells gently inflate and deflate to create a smooth 15-degree rotation, relieving pressure points, enhancing blood flow, and supporting restorative sleep.
\n✅ 7″ Side Bolster Safety Design – Patented sinking surface lowers up to 4″ and combines with 4″ guardrails to form an 8″ deep soft barrier for enhanced patient safety and fall prevention.
\n✅ Comfort-Focused Low Air Loss Therapy (15 LPM) – True Low Air Loss system delivers 15 liters per minute of airflow to regulate heat and moisture, maintaining a dry, comfortable microclimate for skin protection in stages 1–4 pressure ulcers.
\n✅ Fowler / Seating Support Function – Reinforced seat and torso zones provide stable support when the bed is elevated, preventing bottoming out and reducing seated pressure injury risk.
\n✅ Sinking Feature with Rotation Protection – Deep immersion design ensures safe positioning during rotation, even up to 40°, while allowing easy caregiver access.
\n✅ Patient Centralization System – Intelligent mattress contouring keeps patients centered during alternating pressure and rotation cycles, enhancing safety and therapeutic effectiveness.
