The Drive Medical Med-Aire 8″ Alternating Pressure and Low Air Loss Mattress System (Model Number 14027) is an advanced therapeutic support surface engineered to prevent, treat, and manage pressure ulcers in home, hospital, or long-term care environments, combining alternating pressure and low air loss therapies to optimize pressure redistribution, shear and friction reduction, and microclimate control through 20 individually replaceable 8-inch deep air bladders—nine equipped with laser holes for enhanced airflow—crafted from durable nylon/PVC construction that maximizes immersion, envelopment, and patient comfort while supporting users up to 350 pounds across its 80-inch long by 36-inch wide by 8-inch high dimensions for seamless integration as a full mattress replacement on standard bed frames. The included whisper-quiet digital pump delivers 8 liters per minute of airflow with a 10-minute alternating cycle or static mode for customizable firmness based on patient weight settings, ensuring optimal compliance and head stability via a pillow function that maintains the three upper air cells in static mode to minimize neck strain during rest or repositioning, complemented by LED and audible alarms that alert caregivers to low air pressure below 10 mmHg for proactive safety. Its removable, zippered 4-way stretch PU cover is fluid-resistant, low-shear, vapor-permeable, and quilted to promote breathability, moisture wicking, and skin protection while facilitating easy machine washing or wipe-down cleaning for superior hygiene, and quick-release CPR valves enable rapid deflation in emergencies alongside easy-to-replace air cells with air leakage plugs for low-maintenance longevity. Ideal for bedridden seniors, post-surgical patients, or individuals with limited mobility at high risk of skin breakdown, this blue-finished system arrives pre-assembled for immediate deployment, fostering patient dignity, caregiver efficiency, and faster healing through its non-disruptive, innovative performance with HCPCS code E0277 for potential reimbursement. Backed by Drive Medical’s 2-year limited warranty against defects in materials and workmanship for the original purchaser when acquired through authorized dealers, this essential mattress system delivers enduring quality, reliability, and peace of mind for comprehensive wound care and enhanced well-being.

We’re on a mission to make medical supplies and equipment more affordable and less confusing.
We simply believe that offering a great value to caregivers, seniors, disabled individuals, and those managing chronic conditions or recuperating from surgery or an injury is the right thing to do.

We source our products directly from the manufacturer and ship out every order ourselves, passing along to you the savings we achieve by buying in bulk and not outsourcing fulfillment.

While most “business people” tell us our markup is too low, we disagree. The products we sell help improve quality of life for your loved ones. Instead of focusing on how much profit we can make, we focus on how affordable we can make it for you.

Unlike marketplaces and websites that carry thousands of items, we pool our buying power into a select group of hospital-quality products to deliver unbelievable savings to our customers.
