A decubitus mattress is a medical care decubitus mattress used as an aid to prevent and mitigate decubitus diseases. It is widely used for patients with paralysis, coma, after major surgery, fracture traction, severe burns, and various severe and terminal illnesses. It is suitable for use in hospitals, homes for the elderly, and home hospital beds.
Decubitus mattresses are divided into four types. They are decubitus mattresses, cushions, shoe decubitus mattresses, and small local washers. From the production materials, there are air cushions, water cushions, sponge cushions, air rings, cotton cushions, etc. The following is an introduction to the different materials of decubitus mattresses.

Features of sponge decubitus mattresses
Sponge decubitus mattresses are cheap, easy to make, and the material of choice for pressure prevention.
We can generally use a 10-15 cm thick rubber sponge to make decubitus mattresses, wheelchair cushions, and chair cushions. Rubber sponge has a tight texture, good elasticity, and moderate softness. And it has a good anti-pressure effect. Sponge decubitus mattresses can also be dug in the middle of the hole so that the bone protrusion parts or has suffered from decubitus parts are suspended.
Comparison of the air decubitus mattress and water-filled decubitus mattress
Air-jet medical air decubitus mattresses, with many micro-pores on the surface, can eject a small amount of air to keep the patient's skin dry.
The air decubitus mattress is inflated by an air pump and softly supports the patient's body, thus distributing the local pressure from the body weight. The application of water-filled cushions allows the pressure area to be lower than the capillary "closing" pressure. The patient's weight is quantitatively distributed over the larger surface of the suspension device, which reduces the pressure on the bony prominence.
However, water-filled decubitus mattresses float too much and patients feel unstable in their sleep, and they are also more expensive and difficult to move. So they are less used.
Program-controlled massage decubitus mattress
The water bed or air decubitus mattress of this type of bed sore decubitus mattress is made of a water chamber or air chamber that is filled with water or inflated. The shortcoming is that the pressure point of the body on which the person sleeps cannot be shifted automatically. Since the patient cannot change body position, there is still a risk of continuous pressure on certain parts of the body. This floating bed sore decubitus mattress is more difficult to turn over, and therefore also has the undesirable point.
The program-controlled massage decubitus mattress consists of 24 individual air chambers. This decubitus mattress is controlled by a program-controlled device that controls the air pump to deflate and inflate each air chamber in sequence. This allows the pressure on different parts of the body to change periodically, greatly improving blood circulation to the pressurized parts. The body does not move while the person sleeps on the decubitus mattress, and the decubitus mattress fluctuates periodically in all parts, which also plays a massage role. The air cushion of the decubitus mattress simultaneously releases micro airflow to keep the skin dry and clean.
This is an ideal decubitus mattress. A person can sleep on this decubitus mattress turning time can be extended to 8-10 hours.
