Yes, alternating pressure mattresses can help prevent bed sores (pressure ulcers) by continuously redistributing pressure and promoting healthy blood circulation. This reduces prolonged pressure on any single area of the body, lowering the risk of skin breakdown. For example, the Med Aire Alternating Pressure, Low Air Loss Mattress Replacement System gently alternates air flow between cells to keep the skin dry and relieve pressure points, making it an effective solution for preventing and managing pressure injuries when used with regular repositioning and good skin care.
