Medline Supra DPS Low-Air-Loss Alternating Pressure Mattress System - 400 lb Capacity, 8-Inch Therapeutic Support Surface

Advanced Therapeutic Mattress Replacement System for Superior Patient Care

The Supra DPS Low-Air-Loss Alternating Pressure Mattress System represents the pinnacle of therapeutic support surface technology, meticulously engineered to deliver exceptional comfort, safety, and clinical outcomes for patients requiring advanced pressure redistribution therapy. This state-of-the-art medical-grade mattress replacement system integrates multiple therapeutic modalities into a single, comprehensive solution designed for high-risk patients with multiple-stage pressure ulcers and deep tissue injuries.

Comprehensive Therapeutic Functions

This premier mattress system offers an unprecedented range of therapeutic functions that can be customized to meet individual patient needs. The alternating pressure therapy systematically redistributes pressure across the body, promoting enhanced circulation and reducing sustained pressure on vulnerable tissue areas. The low air-loss feature facilitates continuous airflow through the mattress surface, effectively managing moisture and heat buildup to maintain optimal skin microclimate conditions. Static float mode provides consistent, even pressure distribution for patients requiring stable positioning, while the auto firm function enables rapid mattress inflation for safe patient transfers and clinical procedures. The integrated seat inflation feature allows caregivers to create a stable, supportive surface for patients in seated positions, enhancing versatility across various care scenarios.

Innovative Cell-on-Cell Safety Design

The revolutionary cell-on-cell construction ensures continuous patient support and protection, even during unexpected power interruptions or equipment failures. This dual-layer air cell architecture provides a critical safety backup, preventing bottoming out and maintaining therapeutic support integrity at all times. This engineering innovation delivers peace of mind for both caregivers and patients, ensuring uninterrupted protection throughout the entire care continuum.

Advanced Digital Pump Technology

The sophisticated digital pump control system offers caregivers precise control over therapy delivery with four selectable alternating pressure cycle times. This customization capability allows clinical staff to optimize treatment protocols based on individual patient assessment, condition severity, and therapeutic goals. The intuitive digital interface simplifies operation while providing real-time feedback on system performance and therapy parameters.

Premium Low-Friction Antishear Cover

The upgraded mattress cover features advanced low-friction, antishear stretch material specifically engineered to minimize friction and shear forces during patient movement and repositioning. This high-performance fabric construction enhances patient comfort while actively reducing the mechanical forces that contribute to skin breakdown and pressure injury development. The waterproof, fluid-resistant cover provides essential infection control protection while maintaining breathability for optimal patient comfort. The stretch properties accommodate patient movement without creating tension points or restrictive areas that could compromise circulation or comfort.

Intelligent Safety Alert System

Patient safety is paramount, which is why this system incorporates a comprehensive low-pressure alarm featuring both audible and visual indicators. This dual-alert system immediately notifies caregivers of pressure loss, power interruption, or system malfunction, enabling prompt intervention and ensuring continuous therapeutic support. The alarm system provides an essential safety layer for high-acuity patients requiring constant monitoring and immediate response to equipment changes.

Robust Weight Capacity and Durability

Engineered to support patients up to 400 pounds, this mattress system delivers reliable, durable performance across a wide range of patient populations. The robust construction ensures long-term dependability in demanding healthcare environments, from acute care hospitals to long-term care facilities and home health settings.
