Advanced Pressure Relief for Long-Term Care Comfort
The ObboMed OB-1650 StandardAir Ulcer Prevention Mattress is a premium alternating pressure mattress designed for patients at risk of or managing Stage 1–4 pressure ulcers who spend 15 or more hours per day in bed. Engineered as a complete pressure relief and wound-prevention system, this advanced mattress combines therapeutic support, consistent pressure redistribution, and enhanced patient safety to help reduce prolonged pressure on vulnerable areas.
Ideal for home care, long-term care, hospitals, and rehabilitation settings, the OB-1650 promotes improved circulation, skin integrity, and all-day comfort, making it a trusted solution for caregivers and healthcare professionals seeking reliable, medical-grade pressure sore prevention.
Complete Pressure Relief, Rotation, and Skin Protection System
- 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.
- Patented “Easy Go” Shampoo Function (Manual): The patented “Easy Go” shampoo feature enables in-bed hair washing through a one-touch button operation. The head section of the mattress gently deflates to form a recessed area, allowing a shampoo basin to be positioned within 20 seconds. This simplifies hair washing for immobile patients, avoids unnecessary movement, and provides greater comfort for both patient and caregiver.
- Patented Inflatable Air-Filled Guardrails: Our patented inflatable air-filled guardrails offer a safe, supportive, and patient-friendly alternative to traditional metal side rails. Mid-section opening guardrail allows safe and easy patient entry and exit. Operated with a single button, these soft yet firm air-filled rails can be inflated or deflated as needed. They are designed to prevent falls without the risk of injury, such as bruising, commonly associated with metal guardrails—making them perfect for long-term care or home health settings.
- 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, plus patented 4″ guardrail to create a 8-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-1650 mattress designed for?
The ObboMed OB-1650 is designed for patients at risk of or managing Stage 1 to Stage 4 pressure ulcers, especially those who spend extended periods in bed. It is ideal for home care, long-term care facilities, rehabilitation centers, and hospitals, supporting both bedridden and immobile patients with advanced pressure relief, rotation therapy, and skin protection.
How does the alternating pressure and low air loss system help prevent pressure sores?
The OB-1650 uses alternating pressure therapy with adjustable cycle times of 10, 20, 30, or 40 minutes to continuously redistribute pressure and reduce prolonged stress on vulnerable areas. Combined with Comfort-Focused Low Air Loss (15 LPM) therapy, the mattress helps regulate moisture and heat, promotes airflow around the skin, and supports circulation—key factors in preventing and managing pressure injuries.
What rotation features does the OB-1650 offer, and why are they important?
This mattress provides 15° self-lateral rotation and multiple rotation angles of 15° and 25° (left, right, and auto rotation). These features help reduce caregiver repositioning workload, improve blood circulation, enhance sleep quality, support lung function, and lower the risk of pulmonary complications and pressure ulcers.
What are the patented “Easy Go” Bedpan and Shampoo functions?
The patented “Easy Go” Bedpan function allows caregivers to deflate specific air cells beneath the hips in about 20 seconds, creating space for in-bed toileting without lifting the patient. The “Easy Go” Shampoo function gently deflates the head section to accommodate a shampoo basin for in-bed hair washing. Both features are manually controlled with one-touch operation and are designed to improve hygiene, comfort, and caregiver safety.
What safety, materials, and weight specifications should caregivers know?
The OB-1650 includes patented inflatable air-filled guardrails that reduce fall risk without the injury concerns of metal rails, along with a sinking feature and centralization system that keeps patients safely positioned during rotation. The mattress supports up to 450 lbs (200 kg) and features a German-made, antimicrobial, liquid-proof, fire-retardant, machine-washable PU top cover designed to reduce friction and shearing. It comes with a 1-year warranty on the cover and 2-year warranty on the mattress and control unit.
