The Invacare® MicroAIR MA50 Alternating Pressure Mattress Overlay Pad is a powered alternating pressure overlay system designed to aid in the prevention and treatment of pressure ulcers (bed sores). The MA50 reduces interface pressure by alternately inflating and deflating 16 individual 5-inch air cell bladders every 5, 10, 15 or 20 minutes. Patients with immobility or perceptual problems who remain bedridden for extended periods can develop open sores at points where the weight of the body compresses the skin, often under bony prominences like the hips or shoulders. These sores are called pressure ulcers. An alternating pressure mattress overlay pad helps in pressure ulcer treatment and management by shifting pressure to different parts of the body in a repeating cycle, which prevents any body area from being under pressure all the time. New wireless Fowler technology, real time pressure monitoring and energy conserving power units combine to make MicroAIR therapeutic support surfaces the most efficient and dynamic support surfaces in the market Pressure reduction helps the caregiver to prevent and treat pressure ulcers and promote capillary circulation Horizontal configuration of 16, 5-inch air bladders create an alternating  pressure reducing mattress overlay that attaches to an existing mattress Fits most standard hospital beds Unique and patented designs of the power unit combine comfort and technology for patient relief and inspire caregiver confidence Control panel is designed with icons to provide easy, intuitive operation for caregivers  10 LPM compressor has alarm, alarm silence, and lock out features   Mattress can be set to alternating or static mode  Alternating mode available in treatment times of 5, 10, 15 or 20 minute cycles Max Inflate mode for patient transfers Non-skid bottom and secures to mattress with elastic hold-downs Waterproof, anti-microbial 70 Denier cover helps protect against friction and shear Mattress will not bottom out with hoses attached to the compressor power unit, even without power Specially designed connectors are inset to help protect them from accidental dislodging when in use  Must be used with a mattress Control unit and mattress are latex-free Weight capacity of 350 lbs.
