Therapeutic Bariatric Air Mattress for Pressure Ulcer Prevention & Patient Safety
This advanced bariatric mattress system is engineered to deliver superior comfort, safety, and pressure sore prevention for patients requiring specialized bariatric care. Utilizing a combination of alternating pressure and low air loss technology, the mattress helps improve circulation, manage moisture, and reduce prolonged pressure on vulnerable areas—key factors in preventing and treating pressure ulcers. Multiple lateral rotation angles promote gentle repositioning, which further supports skin integrity and reduces caregiver strain.
Patented air-filled guardrails enhance patient safety by helping prevent entrapment while maintaining a comfortable sleep surface. Designed specifically for bariatric patients, this therapeutic mattress is an ideal solution for hospitals, long-term care facilities, and home healthcare environments seeking reliable pressure relief and enhanced patient support.
Engineered for Caregivers, Designed for Patient Comfort and Safety
- Patented Bedpan: Equipped with the “Easy Go” bedpan function, allowing nursing staff to operate with a single button. Airbag at the buttocks quickly and automatically creates a recessed opening within 20 seconds to receive a bedpan. Reduces the pain of moving the patient and eases the workload of the nursing staff.
- Patented Inflatable Guardrails: Inflatable guardrails can be inflated or deflated according to actual needs with a single button. Soft yet strong support to fully protect the patient from falling out of bed. Eliminates the risk of bruises associated with metal guardrails.
- 15° Self-lateral Rotation: Utilizes cone-shaped air cells for continuous deflation and inflation, providing a regular wave and soft self-lateral rotation. Redistributes weight to alleviate pressure points and stimulates blood flow to prevent bedsores.
- Sinking Feature + Centralization: Cone-shaped air cells create a sinking feature, lowering the mattress surface up to 5 inches. Keeps the patient centralized during rotation, creating a 9-inch soft barrier for safety. Allows easy access to caregivers even during 40-degree rotation.
- 15°/25°/40° Multiple Rotation Angles: Offers 15°, 25°, and 40° rotation angles to meet the needs of patients in different states. Increases patient activity, aids in lung function by expelling phlegm, reduces lung infections, and improves physical therapy.
- Massager: Features 4 vibration massagers operated by a microprocessor with 8 massage modes. Helps remove phlegm, ease pain, reduce tension, increase metabolism, support blood flow, and reduce muscle fatigue.
- Warmer: Distributes soothing and relaxing heat along the patient’s back above the alternating air cells. Supports the immune system and may improve circulation.
- Fowler And Seating: Increases support in the seat/torso section when the head of the bed is raised. Prevents patients from “bottoming out.”
- Dynamic Low Air Loss: Removes humidity under the patient while transferring moisture and heat away from the skin. Ideal for adults with stage 1-4 pressure ulcers, providing maximum comfort and support.
- Cell-on-Cell Mattress Design: Prevents patient from bottoming out during a power failure, maintaining inflation if the air hose remains connected. Control unit located on the footboard manages all functions.
- Features Of Cover: Minimizes friction and shearing, vapor permeable to facilitate moisture removal. Liquid resistant, fireproof, and free from latex, lead, and mercury. Air cells are liquid-proof, machine washable, and made from thermoplastic polyurethane and nylon.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Who is the ObboMed OB-3682B UltraAir Bariatric Mattress designed for?
The ObboMed OB-3682B UltraAir Mattress is specifically designed for bariatric patients requiring advanced pressure relief, safety, and therapeutic support. With a 42-inch width and an 800 lb weight capacity, it is ideal for hospitals, long-term care facilities, rehabilitation centers, and home healthcare settings caring for patients at risk of stage 1–4 pressure ulcers.
How does the alternating pressure, low air loss, and self-rotation system help prevent pressure sores?
This mattress combines alternating pressure therapy, dynamic low air loss (23 LPM), and self-lateral rotation at 15°, 25°, or 40° to continuously redistribute weight, reduce pressure points, and improve circulation. The low air loss system helps manage heat and moisture, while rotation and sinking features stimulate blood flow and support skin integrity—key factors in pressure ulcer prevention and treatment.
What safety features help keep patients secure during rotation and repositioning?
The OB-3682B includes patented inflatable guardrails that inflate or deflate with the push of a button, providing soft yet strong fall protection without the risk of bruising from metal rails. Its sinking feature and centralization system lower the mattress surface up to 5 inches, creating a 9-inch soft barrier that keeps patients safely centered—even during 40-degree rotation—while maintaining easy caregiver access.
How does the patented “Easy Go” bedpan system benefit patients and caregivers?
The patented Easy Go bedpan function allows caregivers to create a recessed opening at the buttocks area within 20 seconds using a single button. This feature significantly reduces the need to reposition or lift the patient, minimizing discomfort for the patient while easing physical strain and saving time for nursing staff.
What happens if there is a power outage or loss of air pressure?
The OB-3682B features a cell-on-cell mattress design with 24-hour power outage protection. In the event of a power failure, the lower air cell layer remains inflated as long as the hose is connected to the control unit, helping prevent the patient from bottoming out. The footboard-mounted control unit is intuitive and manages all mattress functions for reliable, uninterrupted care.
