Pressure Ulcer Prevention Mattress for Long-Term Bed Use
Designed for patients managing Stage 1–4 pressure ulcers and those who spend 15 or more hours per day in bed, the ObboMed OB-1620 StandardAir Ulcer Prevention Mattress delivers advanced, hospital-grade pressure relief in a home-care or clinical setting. This alternating pressure and low air loss mattress system is engineered to reduce sustained pressure, improve airflow, and support skin integrity, helping to both prevent and treat pressure sores.
Built with patient safety and long-term comfort in mind, the OB-1620 provides consistent therapeutic support for individuals with limited mobility, making it an ideal solution for caregivers, home health providers, and medical facilities seeking reliable, high-performance pressure ulcer prevention.
Complete Care Air Mattress: Pressure Redistribution, Self-Lateral Rotation & Moisture Control
- 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.
- Patented “Easy Go” Bedpan Function (Manual): The patented “Easy Go” bedpan feature allows caregivers to operate a single-touch button that quickly deflates 4 air cells beneath the buttocks, creating a recessed opening to accommodate a bedpan in just 20 seconds. This innovative bedpan system is designed for in-bed toileting, significantly reducing patient discomfort during transfers and minimizing the caregiver’s physical workload. Ideal for bedridden patients, this feature enhances both safety and hygiene.
- Multiple Rotation Angles (15°/25°): Designed to accommodate various patient needs, the mattress offers multiple rotation angles of 15°, 25° Right / 25°Left / 25°Auto Rotation. This feature increases patient activity, assists in lung function by facilitating phlegm expulsion, reduces the risk of pulmonary infections, and enhances overall physical therapy outcomes.
- 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 25-degree rotations while allowing easy access for caregivers.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Who is the ObboMed OB-1620 StandardAir Mattress designed for?
The ObboMed OB-1620 StandardAir Mattress is designed for patients who are bedridden or have limited mobility, including individuals at risk of or currently managing Stage 1–4 pressure ulcers. It is ideal for home care, long-term care facilities, hospitals, and rehabilitation settings, offering advanced pressure relief, moisture control, and caregiver-assist features.
How does the alternating pressure therapy help prevent pressure ulcers?
The OB-1620 uses alternating pressure therapy to cyclically inflate and deflate air cells, redistributing pressure across the body and reducing prolonged stress on vulnerable areas. Users can select cycle times of 10, 20, 30, or 40 minutes, helping improve circulation, reduce pressure points, and support skin integrity for effective pressure ulcer prevention and treatment.
What is the patented “Easy Go” bedpan function and how does it work?
The patented “Easy Go” Bedpan Function (Manual) allows caregivers to deflate four air cells beneath the buttocks with a single touch, creating a recessed opening for bedpan placement in approximately 20 seconds. This innovative feature enables in-bed toileting, reduces patient discomfort, minimizes caregiver lifting strain, and improves overall safety and hygiene for bedridden patients.
What rotation features does the OB-1620 offer and why are they important?
The OB-1620 includes 15° self-lateral rotation and multiple rotation angles (15°, 25° left, 25° right, and 25° auto rotation). These functions help redistribute body weight, stimulate blood circulation, improve lung function by aiding phlegm expulsion, reduce the risk of pulmonary infections, and enhance physical therapy outcomes—while also supporting better sleep and comfort.
How does the Low Air Loss (LAL) system improve comfort and skin protection?
The Comfort-Focused True Low Air Loss (LAL) system delivers 15 LPM of airflow beneath the cover layer to regulate moisture and heat around the skin. Combined with a permeable, antimicrobial 4-way stretch PU top cover, this system helps maintain a dry microclimate, reduce friction and shearing, and protect skin health—especially important for patients managing pressure ulcers or extended bed rest.
