Therapeutic Alternating Pressure Mattress for Advanced Pressure Relief
The ObboMed OB-1680 StandardAir Ulcer Prevention Mattress is a hospital-grade alternating pressure air mattress designed for patients at risk of stage 1 to stage 4 pressure ulcers who spend 15 or more hours per day in bed. Engineered for both pressure sore prevention and treatment, this advanced mattress system continuously redistributes pressure to reduce stress on vulnerable areas, helping improve circulation and support skin integrity.
Ideal for home care, long-term care, and clinical environments, the OB-1680 combines therapeutic performance with dependable comfort and safety, making it a trusted solution for caregivers and healthcare professionals seeking effective, non-invasive pressure relief for immobile or bedridden patients.
Advanced Therapeutic Air Mattress System for Total Pressure Relief, Rotation & 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.
- 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°/40°): Designed to accommodate various patient needs, the mattress offers multiple rotation angles of 15°, 25° Right / 25°Left / 25°Auto Rotation, 40° 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 40-degree rotations while allowing easy access for caregivers.
- Comfort-Focused True Low Air Loss (LAL) Therapy + Built-in Air Flow Fan: Positioned beneath the cover layer, the Comfort-Focused LAL system delivers airflow at 15 liters per minute combined with a built-in airflow fan, 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.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Who is the ObboMed OB-1680 StandardAir Mattress designed for?
The ObboMed OB-1680 StandardAir Mattress is designed for bedridden or immobile patients who are at risk of or managing stage 1 to stage 4 pressure ulcers. It is ideal for individuals spending extended periods in bed, and is well-suited for home care, long-term care facilities, rehabilitation centers, and hospitals. With a 450 lb weight capacity, it supports a wide range of patient needs safely and comfortably.
How does the alternating pressure and rotation system help prevent pressure sores?
The mattress 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. In addition, 15° self-lateral rotation and multiple rotation angles (15°, 25°, and 40°) gently reposition the patient, helping improve blood circulation, reduce pressure buildup, support lung function, and lower the risk of pressure injuries and pulmonary complications.
What are the patented “Easy Go” Bedpan and Shampoo functions, and how do they work?
The patented “Easy Go” Bedpan and Shampoo functions are manual, one-touch features designed to simplify in-bed care. Easy Go Bedpan: Deflates four air cells beneath the buttocks within 20 seconds, creating a recessed area for easy bedpan placement without lifting or transferring the patient. Easy Go Shampoo: Deflates the head section to allow a shampoo basin to be positioned in 20 seconds, enabling safe and comfortable in-bed hair washing. Both features reduce patient discomfort, minimize caregiver strain, and improve hygiene and safety.
How do the inflatable air-filled guardrails improve patient safety?
The patented inflatable air-filled guardrails provide a soft yet supportive alternative to metal side rails, reducing the risk of bruising or injury. They are operated with a single button and include a mid-section opening for safer patient entry and exit. Combined with the mattress’s sinking feature and centralization system, they help keep the patient securely centered—even during 40° rotations—while maintaining easy caregiver access.
What comfort and hygiene features does the OB-1680 offer?
The OB-1680 features Comfort-Focused True Low Air Loss (LAL) therapy delivering 15 LPM airflow with a built-in fan to manage heat and moisture, keeping the skin dry and comfortable. The German-made 4-way stretch PU top cover is antimicrobial, liquid-proof, fire-resistant, and machine washable, while reducing friction and shear. These features work together to enhance comfort, protect skin integrity, and support long-term ulcer prevention and treatment.
