The MedaCure AS36 AirStream Direct Low Air Loss Mattress is an advanced therapeutic support surface designed to create a cool, dry microenvironment while delivering effective pressure redistribution therapy. Utilizing AirStream Direct Technology, air is delivered directly through the coverlet to surround the patient with continuous airflow, making it one of MedaCure's most advanced wound care therapy systems. The combination of direct low air loss, alternating pressure therapy, and integrated perimeter protection helps support patients at risk of pressure injuries while promoting comfort and skin integrity.
Designed for long-term care facilities, rehabilitation centers, hospitals, and home care environments, the AirStream mattress features integrated air bolsters with one-touch inflate and deflate controls, a cell-on-cell safety design, and independent pressure adjustment for alternating air cells. The result is a therapeutic mattress system that combines wound care performance, patient safety, and caregiver convenience in a single support surface.
