Alternating Pressure Pad For Rent

Rent an Alternating Pressure Pad for Your Comfort

Do you suffer from bed sores, pressure ulcers, or other skin conditions? Do you have limited mobility and spend long hours in bed? Are you looking for a comfortable and affordable solution to relieve your pain and discomfort? Look no further than AAA Medical Supply in San Diego. We offer a wide range of medical equipment for rent, including alternating pressure pads that can improve your quality of life and help you heal faster.

What is an Alternating Pressure Pad?

An alternating pressure pad is a specialized mattress overlay that uses air cells to distribute pressure evenly across the body. It alternates the inflation and deflation of individual cells on a timed basis, which allows for better circulation and reduces the risk of developing pressure sores. The pad is made of durable materials such as vinyl or nylon, with reinforced seams to prevent leaks or tears.

How Does it Work?

When you lie down on an alternating pressure pad, the air cells inflate under your weight, creating a soft but supportive surface. After a set period (usually 5-10 minutes), the cells deflate while others inflate, shifting the points of contact with your body. This process repeats continuously throughout the night, ensuring that no area bears too much weight for too long. Some models also include adjustable settings for firmness, cycle time, and pressure level.

Why Rent an Alternating Pressure Pad?

Renting an alternating pressure pad has many benefits over buying one outright:

• Lower cost: Renting saves you money upfront compared to purchasing new equipment.
• Flexibility: You can choose how long you need the pad (days, weeks or months) without worrying about storage or maintenance.
• Quality assurance: Our rental pads are thoroughly cleaned and sanitized between uses to ensure hygiene standards.
• Try before you buy: If you're not sure whether this type of mattress is right for you, renting gives you a chance to test it out before making a long-term investment.
