Vive Alternating Pressure Pad - Includes Mattress Pad and Electric Pump System - Quiet, Inflatable Bed Air Topper for Pressure Ulcer Sore Treatment - Fits Standard Hospital Bed for Bedridden Patients

I have tried other products to aid in treating my grandmother's pressure ulcers with no success. All these solutions didn't work as well as this one. Upon my taking her home from the nursing home, I discovered two, stage one pressure sores on her backside. Her nerve pain on her sides made it very difficult for her to even rotate positions the left side she can only There are egg carton pads and other products, but none of them worked to relieve my pressure sores. This product finally worked and I was able to get rid of 3 pressure sores in one week! With this product, I have not experienced any pressure sores for three months! We don't have to get up in the middle of the night to try and move her. It can be turned on and off with a turn of a knob. More than three months have gone by and there is still no sound from the pump. Occasionally, there is a ticking noise like an old clock, but my grandmother has never gotten up because of it. For anyone who has trouble with pressure sores, this is a highly recommended product.

I bought this item 2 months ago and my mom has not had a single bedsore since then, and she She did not develop any new bedsores following her use of the machine. She had one bedsore prior to using it, which has now healed. In addition to being 90 years old, she also has a disability Despite being ambulatory, she is mostly in bed most of the time. My duties include transferring her to her lift chair and her favorite spot on the couch every once in a while to let her skin rest. She gets covered by me bob- A Pedic adjustable queen size mattress is protected by a waterproof pad and covered with a waterproof sheet to give even and more even padding and protection. There is no cover for the entire queen size mattress, and she doesn't either. As of yet, there have not been any leaks or punctures. Should there be a problem, I'm glad it came with patches for free. As a result of this item, I've been able to reduce my bedsores anxiety and save time. The mattress is a wonderful alternative to a bariatric mattress. I was even thinking about getting a bariatric mattress, but this is the best.

I have had to confine my dad to the bed for the majority of the last few months. I was so worried that he may die soon. He developed bed sores on his bottom three weeks after moving in. The bed sores that came from those hospital visits and those hospital visits So I began to look for something to make them better so that they wouldn't get any It has been a great help to have this! It has not gotten worse, no new ones have formed, and the other ones are healing well thanks to Terrasil, Medihoney, and this mattress. Since I have chemical sensitivities, I was concerned that I would need to air it out before bringing it into the house, but to my surprise, I was unable to detect the smell until I put my nose right next The result isn't terrible, even then. It smelt okay due to its vinyl composition, but I knew it would smell awful if it were. The setup was perfectly simple and I was able to fit it on his bed and be inside the small, enclosed room without any issues. It took me by surprise to realize that once I closed his bedroom door, it would then permeate the entire room. It didn't even seem to bother me even the slightest. As I did not return for an hour, I could still smell it even though I had left it and closed the door. This was such a pleasant surprise.

The pump is so incredibly quiet, we do not It is nearly impossible for Dad to hear it, but I could occasionally hear a bit of hissing when it is adjusting, but there has to be complete silence for me to hear it, and I have very good There is no way for me to hear movement in the next room, or in my room. In any case, if the radio is on, I will not be able to This is such a quiet system that I can hardly believe it. There is no way for it to fall on the ground. I have it hanging on the side of his platform bed at the end, where it's perfectly It took about 10 minutes for it to inflate on one of the highest levels. A very quiet and slow process is carried out by it. The process appears very slow, and you might not believe it is working at all for a while. After all this, you see some of the little pillow forms, and you can see the whole thing working as After it had been inflated, I laid directly on top of it for a few minutes to see what it was like. I immediately knew I had to get one for myself. I lay on it for a long time, and it was very soothing. While I am a little surprised at feeling that way so quickly, I want a dog very badly! However, I will have to wait as this is not a necessity for me, only a desire. It is so adjustable that it can also be used as a sleeper, since I usually sleep in my recliner. My dad didn't even notice it for the first week or so even though we had it set to the highest setting. While it was comfortable, he could not see any signs of it where he sat. The mattress was a lot like his. He said yes to the question last night, now that it has been 2 weeks, but that it is so subtle for him to notice. When I asked him if he'd miss it if he no longer had it, he stated emphatically He said yes to me when I asked him if the way it adjusts is comforting. Despite its strange comfort, it feels good! I want one, like I said. The mattress I received did not come with straps, but I think that it means the mattress has flaps on each end that slide under the mattress to keep This has been holding its place without any issues at all, even without tucking them under. This is why it took him so long to notice how it was working. It's directly on the mattress, then I have a fitted sheet over it, and then I have a bed pad over the fitted sheet. When he gets up in the morning, I do turn off the mattress. Initially, I wasn't sure whether I would have to pump it up every night, but I don't. Is perfectly able to hold the air. Then I turn it back on just before he gets into bed. Even if I turn it back on at that point, it will still be fully inflated, which was a nice surprise. I thought I would have to turn it on 10 minutes before he goes to bed each night, but I am glad to report that this was The article can be used for someone who is bedridden or needs this as a bedside reference No matter if you are bound to it or just want one to have, it is one of the best, most reliable bed products for everyone. Once you get it, you will wish you had had it earlier. A mattress pad would not have been purchased at full price, nor would it have been discounted.

This mattress cover is wonderful for relieving pressure from the bed sores on my husband's body after he was admitted to the hospital and developed terrible bed sores. The mattress cover changes the pressure areas about every 6 minutes, relieving the pressure from those areas. Despite the fact that they started to heal, this mattress has been one of the major factors in their healing.

Having it positioned so I do not have to worry about repositioning and shifting my mother every few hours has allowed me to sleep through the night! Getting my life back literally has changed my entire outlook on life. Having to take care of my mother 24/7 leaves me constantly exhausted. We value sleep as a precious resource. The skin on my mom's face is very thin and we have always tried to stay ahead of a breakdown. The air mattress is doing all the work for me! After an extensive period of shifting and repositioning to eliminate breakdowns, I can finally rest easy knowing this is all being handled by it. There is a slight humming noise coming from her room when I sleep in the same room as hers. I don't find it annoying in the least! An excellent value for money! Buying one every month would be worth it even if I had to buy one each month. Oh, and guess what else? She has healed all the small, constant pressure sores we used to get from her. As a result of how well this works, when her visiting nurse tells all of her client's caregivers about it, they are all astonished! As a reminder, my mom is 125 pounds and not very thin. She keeps her pad on the highest setting, which is recommended by my physician.
