Advanced Therapeutic Technologies for Continuous Pressure Relief & Patient Safety
- Alternating Pressure Function: This mattress offers customizable alternating pressure cycles of 10, 20, 30, and 40 minutes. By cyclically inflating and deflating air cells, it continuously redistributes pressure, preventing prolonged stress on vulnerable areas. This dynamic action stimulates blood flow, significantly reducing the risk of pressure sores for bedridden or immobile individuals. Users can select the cycle time that best suits their comfort and therapeutic needs.
- Fowler & Seating Support: The Fowler function enhances support in the seat and torso sections when the head of the bed is elevated. This design aims to prevent patients from bottoming out, ensuring consistent support and reducing the risk of pressure injuries in seated positions.
- Comfort-Focused True Low Air Loss (LAL) Therapy: Positioned beneath the cover layer, the Comfort-Focused LAL system delivers airflow at 15 liters per minute, this powerful ventilation system effectively removes humidity and regulates moisture and heat around the patient’s skin, helping to maintain a dry and comfortable microclimate. The result is enhanced comfort and improved skin protection—especially vital for individuals of all ages dealing with stage 1 to stage 4 pressure ulcers.
- 15° Self-Lateral Rotation: Utilizing specialized air cells, the mattress provides a 15-degree self-lateral rotation by continuously inflating and deflating specific cells. This gentle wave-like motion redistributes the user’s weight, helps improve sleep, alleviates pressure points, stimulates blood circulation, and aids in the prevention of bedsores.
- Sinking Feature with Centralization: The mattress incorporates a sinking feature that lowers the surface up to 4 inches, create a 4-inch deep soft barrier. This design ensures patient centralization during alternating pressure and self-lateral rotation, maintaining safety even during 15-degree rotations while allowing easy access for caregivers.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What conditions is the ObboMed OB-1600 mattress designed to treat or prevent?
The ObboMed OB-1600 UtilityAir Mattress is designed for the prevention and treatment of Stage 1–4 pressure ulcers. It is ideal for patients who spend extended periods in bed and require advanced pressure redistribution, moisture management, and positioning support in home care, long-term care, or clinical environments.
How does the alternating pressure and self-lateral rotation work?
The OB-1600 uses patented alternating pressure therapy with selectable cycle times of 10, 20, 30, or 40 minutes, continuously inflating and deflating air cells to redistribute pressure and improve circulation. In addition, the mattress provides 15° self-lateral rotation, creating a gentle wave-like motion that helps reduce pressure points, stimulate blood flow, improve sleep quality, and aid in bed sore prevention.
What safety features help keep the patient centered during rotation?
The mattress includes a sinking feature that lowers the surface up to 4 inches, combined with a patented 4-inch side bolster, creating an 8-inch deep soft barrier. This design ensures patient centralization and stability during alternating pressure and lateral rotation, maintaining safety while still allowing easy caregiver access.
How does the Low Air Loss (LAL) system improve comfort and skin health?
The Comfort-Focused True Low Air Loss system delivers 15 liters per minute of airflow, working beneath the top cover to regulate heat and moisture around the patient’s skin. This ventilation helps maintain a dry, comfortable microclimate, reducing humidity buildup and supporting skin integrity—especially important for patients with pressure ulcers or sensitive skin.
