-
Mattress systems that include a mattress made of interconnected synthetic fabric air-filled cushions. These systems are designed to lose air through the cushions at a controlled rate to prevent maceration of the patient\'s skin. These mattress systems are typically used in the care and management of patients who require special pressure relief surfaces (e.g., those who have, or at risk for developing pressure/decubitus ulcers).
