Pressure Relief Mattress Pads for Bedsore Prevention
When extended bed rest is necessary, keeping skin healthy and comfort high is crucial. The Vive Health pressure relief mattress combines clinic-level protection with comfortable design. It prevents pressure sores, speeds healing and gives peace of mind that those who are elderly, bedbound, or have limited mobility can rest safely and sleep through the night.
Hospital-Grade Pressure Relief Systems
Our pressure relief mattresses are built with clever, moving-air tech and super-strong materials to stop skin damage and keep skin healthy. Every mattress takes the pressure off different spots, boosts blood flow and lowers the risk of new pressure sores popping up, even when someone has to stay still for a long time.
Caregivers at home and busy clinics alike can count on our dependable, clinically effective designs. For added, targeted relief, explore our hot & cold compression wraps, which offer adjustable warmth and cooling to soothe specific joints and tight areas.
