PURAP Pressure Relief Mattress System for Bedsore Prevention and Treatment
The PURAP pressure relief mattress system helps with the treatment and prevention of buttock bedsores at the hospital or at home. It has helped thousands of customers who had existing pressure sores (pressure ulcers) or were at risk of sores – people who are disabled, bedridden, elderly or have limited mobility. It prevents the formation of high-pressure points that cause sores. It uses a proprietary 3-layer pressure relief technology called fluid 3D Flotation, which has been tested at Stanford University Hospital. PURAP provides one of the lowest peak pressures and outperforms most of other pressure-relief mattresses and true air-loss alternating mattresses.
Who is it for?
- Patients who are disabled or immobile
- Patients who have limited mobility because they are recovering from surgery
- Elderly customers who risk sores because of fragile skin and limited
mobility
Dimensions
20 x 18 x 1.5 inches
Care Instructions
Waterproof top and anti-skid bottom. Wipe with a wet wipe. Do not place in washing machine or dryer.
How is PURAP different than low air-loss and alternating air mattresses?

Low air-loss and alternating air matresses
Alternating air systems work by inflating and deflating attempting to redistribute pressure points.Low air loss systems work by blowing air through small holes on the surface of the mattress, attempting to minimize the ‘rebound’ of the mattress. To be effective, they need powerful pumps that force more than 15 litres of air through the mattress per minute. -
The PURAP mattress system
Our mattress system helps reduce high pressure points under the sacrum by increasing the amount of support at high pressure points and dissipating the high pressure over a much larger, active support surface. Moreover, the fluid layer moves around freely in a bladder, so it easily adjusts to the shifting positions of the patients and adjusts to the changing high-pressure points.
