Definitions

  • the invention relates to a pneumatic reversible mattress for relieving pressure-prone tissue areas in lying patients. It is an anti-decubitus mattress which, by alternately inflating and deflating two air chambers that are not connected to one another, brings about a change in the contact surface of lying patients and thus prevents the development of pressure sores.
  • alternating pressure mattresses which have two independent air chamber systems, have the shape of a tube, and are attached to the mattress in a parallel arrangement across or lengthwise - in such a way that there are always two adjacent air chambers with different air chamber systems belong to them.
  • Alternating pressure mattresses only work optimally if they come into contact with large tissue areas of the patient lying on the patient, which is the case when the patient is lying flat, but this can rarely be done for medical reasons. Rather, it is often necessary to lie down on the patient with the upper body raised, which essentially reduces the surface area of the tissue to the area of the buttocks.
  • the resulting pressure on the alternating pressure mattress can assume a size that exceeds the internal pressure of the air chambers, compressing them and thus overriding the principle of action of the alternating pressure mattress.
  • the sacral region of the sick is particularly at risk because the bone and skin tissues are close together.
  • the prevention of pressure ulcers mainly affects this area, which is about the size of the palm of the hand.
  • the size of the commercial alternating pressure mattresses is in a mismatch.
  • the invention seeks to remedy the problem.
  • the invention as characterized in the claims, solves the problem in that two adjacent, non-communicating air chamber systems which are connected to one another by an air-free retaining web and have a special configuration , alternately like this be supplied with air so that the patient lying on it performs a passive rotational movement in its longitudinal axis, which leads to a constant change of the main stress zones of the tissue lying on it.
  • the alternating air supply to both air chamber systems takes place via an air pump unit with a motor-controlled deflection device for air flows, as is used to operate commercially available alternating pressure mattresses.
