Ripple Mattress with Pump in Kenya KSh 6,000
For the caregiver doing the two-hourly turns. Pressure relief that keeps working overnight, helps prevent bedsores, and gives you and the person you care for a full night's sleep.
A ripple mattress is an alternating pressure air mattress used to prevent and treat bedsores in bedridden patients. An external pump inflates and deflates two alternating sets of air cells, so no part of the body carries weight for more than a few minutes at a time. This lowers the interface pressure between the skin and the support surface, stopping capillaries closing under sustained load at the sacrum, hips, heels and shoulder blades, which is where pressure ulcers begin. Devices under 9cm inflated height are alternating pressure pads rather than full mattress systems. In Kenya a complete ripple mattress with pump ranges from about KSh 5,000 to KSh 13,000 depending on whether it is a bubble type or a taller tubular column type. Ripple Mattresses Kenya supplies a complete set with pump, air tubes and a 6-month warranty for KSh 6,000, delivered same day in Nairobi.
