Pure Air 8 Mattress

The Pure Air 8 Mattress is a dynamic, full replacement pressure care system designed for patients at very high risk of pressure injuries. It features true auto-reactive pressure redistribution, continuously adjusting to patient movement and weight to deliver optimal pressure relief and support. The smooth cell alternation cycle minimises shear and discomfort, promoting restful sleep and protecting fragile skin.

The Pure Air 8 Mattress is a dynamic, full replacement pressure care system designed for patients at very high risk of pressure injuries. It features true auto-reactive pressure redistribution, continuously adjusting to patient movement and weight to deliver optimal pressure relief and support. The smooth cell alternation cycle minimises shear and discomfort, promoting restful sleep and protecting fragile skin.

Built for safety and ease of use, the mattress offers shock-absorbing supportreinforced edge stability, and an intelligent low-pressure interface to enhance patient positioning and reduce caregiver burden. Its multi-stretch, waterproof, and vapour-permeable cover supports effective moisture management and infection control. With automated functionality, CPR release, transport mode, and audible/visual alarms, the Pure Air 8 provides clinically proven care for acute, palliative, and high-dependency environments.

Features

  • Full replacement dynamic system – designed for very high-risk pressure care.

  • Auto-reactive pressure redistribution – continuously adapts to patient movement, weight, and positioning.

  • Smooth cell alternation cycle – minimises shear forces and enhances patient comfort.

  • Shock-absorbing base with reinforced edges – improves postural stability and transfer safety.

  • Low interface pressure delivery – ensures gentle, evenly distributed support across high-risk areas.

  • Multi-stretch, waterproof, vapour-permeable cover – washable up to 95°C for infection control.

  • Safety functions – CPR release, visual/audible alarms, and transport mode.

  • Quiet operation – supports rest and reduces agitation.

  • Compatible with profiling beds and clinical handling systems.

The Pure Air 8 Mattress is a dynamic, full replacement pressure care system engineered for patients at very high risk of pressure injuries. Designed for acute, long-term, rehabilitation, and palliative care environments, it delivers continuous auto-reactive pressure redistribution, providing clinically effective protection while maintaining patient comfort and safety.

At its core, the Pure Air 8 features a true dynamic alternating pressure system, with integrated sensors that make constant micro-adjustments in response to patient movement, weight, and positioning. This ensures the lowest effective interface pressure is maintained at all times, reducing tissue compression and preventing pressure injury development in immobile or critically ill patients.

The system’s smooth cell changeover cycle minimises shear forces and avoids abrupt pressure shifts, supporting skin integrity and enhancing comfort. This is particularly important for patients with fragile skin, neurological impairment, or sensitivity to sudden movement.

shock-absorbing base layer and reinforced edge provide additional postural stability and transfer safety. These design features reduce the risk of falls, prevent sliding during repositioning, and support safe mobilisation and rehabilitation, while also easing caregiver handling.

The low-pressure interface technology evenly distributes weight across key anatomical risk areas, including the sacrum, heels, and shoulders. This contributes to pressure ulcer prevention, improved sleep quality, and reduced agitation — all critical outcomes in both high-dependency and end-of-life care.

The mattress is encased in a multi-stretch, waterproof, vapour-permeable cover, which aids moisture management, skin protection, and infection control. The cover is fully removable and machine washable up to 95°C, supporting stringent hygiene standards in both hospital and community settings.

The system is fully automatic, reducing caregiver workload while ensuring therapeutic consistency. Built-in audible and visual alarmsCPR quick-release, and an optional transport mode enhance clinical safety and operational efficiency.
