The Protekt Aire 8000BA mattress system by Proactive Medical combines alternating pressure therapy with low air loss relief to prevent and treat pressure ulcers. The Protekt Aire 8000BA is a top choice by clinicians to treat bariatric patients because it redistributes pressure away from major contact points while circulating air to the surface of the mattress keeping the user's skin cool and dry. This helps to improve blood flow to heal wounds and prevent new ulcers from forming. 

The Protekt Aire 8000BA mattress is comprised of two layers of air cells; the bottom layer stays at a constant inflation to protect the patient in the case of a power outage, while the top layer can be adjusted to be static or provide alternating pressure. In static mode, patient transfers are made easier. There is also a seat inflate setting which increases air flow to the middle portion of the mattress by 20% to prevent bottoming out. There are four different alternating pressure cycle times, 10, 15, 20, and 25 minutes, that can be selected depending on the level and duration of therapy needed. There is a lockout function on the controls that can be utilized to prevent tampering of the mattress' settings. There are also three alarms that alert the caregiver and patient when there is low pressure, a power outage, or failure of the alternating pressure function. There is also an emergency CPR pull tab that quickly releases air from the mattress.

The mattress features a breathable, low friction, quilted top cover for the user's comfort as well as a pillow top feature to help keep the user's head and neck stable when the mattress is in alternating mode.
