Questions & Answers
You can use this mattress pad with a pump of that sort.
As for whether it will, I have no idea. In addition, the mattress is equipped with two hoses that work with a pump in order to insure that air is continuously circulating and that air is fluctuating so that bedsores can be prevented.
You did not attempt it at all, and I hope you did not attempt it based on those other two incorrect As for the two other people who answered this question with "Yes," I have no idea why they did that because that is absolutely not true. I don't think that is what the software is designed for. A double tubing with two ends is provided to connect the mattress to a pump by alternating pressure it will not seal up without a pump if it is not connected to an alternating pressure pump. A pressure management mattress uses different areas of pressure to inflate and deflate automatically over time in order to relieve pressure beneath the patient as he or she lies Unlike foam mattresses, it does not inflate and then deflate completely over the entire An electrically operated pump is used to inflate and deflate different sections at the same time, as directed by the instructions for use on the product information area of the webpage. It is necessary to buy a pump separately when purchasing the mattress since it comes with the tubing to connect to the pump. In the detailed description, you will find the recommended model of pump, though it is possible to use other electric pumps for the same purpose as long as the pump is coupled tightly (This may also be used to replace other mattresses that have sprung leaks.
Of course, I do. There is a requirement for purchasing it along with a pump, as it states in the descriptive information The pad is the only thing included. You will not find a pump with this model. From 1984 to A separate order is needed for 0000. 1) *br> *br>Features *br> By automatically adjusting the pressure against a person's body, this pressure pad improves circulation and alleviates bed sores without the need for constant turning. *Pad only - must be used with a pump (not included). ***" This pad would be considered a replacement pad for a complete system with a pump, and where the pad is the only component that needs to be replaced.

My problem with it was that I was unable to find a way to inflate it, so I never had a chance to use it anyway, so I just took the loss, and I'm unlikely to purchase anything else that requires more attention like this in the future.
I have found this item to be of great use to As a result of cerebral palsy, he needs an air mattress like this to ensure bed sores aren't spread. The cost of the medication would have taken Medicaid forever to pay, so we bought it for him directly. Although you can still smell the plastic it is made out of, it does not overpower as it does in more conventional mattresses. During filling, the air is evenly distributed He has actually had two as his first one had several pin holes in it when his nurses had been careless with changing his sheets because they were bunching them.
For 30 years I was paralyzed, the only bed sore I experienced was from lying I love the option of this mattress/pump as it's portable and easy to carry around. It is nice to see the price being kept.
I have no issues with it. It worked for me even though I thought it wasn't going to. In order to have a spare, I will buy.
Two years is all I was able to get out of my pad. In spite of its fantastic performance, it developed a leak along the seams on the first and second wear. There was no way to repair them. The patch kit that came with it and the repair kit for my cushion were all tried out, as was a bicycle tire repair kit bought from the store. The effort has been in vain. Consequently, I have bought TWO new pads (so I won't be without one, should the one i'm using spring a leak), and since they cost about $20 apiece, i figure 2 years is probably getting a good deal of use out of them. Both of the new pads are from a different manufacturer (even though neither had any identifying marks, so I can't tell you which one). You can basically count on all pressure pads having the same diameter hoses, but before you buy yours, make sure that it is the right size since you can't return it. It is possible that going to bed has put undue pressure on the seams since I have a lot of difficulty getting in and out of bed. It is possible that a person who is able to lie down will not have the same issues. In order to minimize the risk of injury, I now turn on the pump only once I am positioned. The pump (should you wonder) still works, but it no longer blows air OUT and I have to disconnect the hoses before going to sleep at night. The pads and pump can be bought separately, but you will have to do a bit of searching on the internet before you can find them.
The supplement helps with keeping skin from breaking down if you have anyone in your home who cannot walk anymore and is in bed.
The product is very quiet and has lasted a very long time. In my opinion, I paid a fair price for it.
This product couldn't be used by me. It was returned to the manufacturer.
