Drive Medical Med-Aire Assure 5" Air + 3" Foam Base Alternating Pressure and Low Air Loss Mattress System

Why Choose the Drive Medical Med-Aire Assure 5" Air + 3" Foam Base Alternating Pressure and Low Air Loss Mattress System

The Drive Medical Med-Aire Assure 5" Air + 3" Foam Base Mattress System is designed to support comfort, pressure redistribution, and skin care routines in home care, long-term care, and clinical environments. The alternating pressure air surface helps vary pressure across the mattress, while the low air loss feature helps support airflow and moisture management when used as part of a complete care plan — the Assure's name earned by the foam floor under its air therapy.

Usage/Application

Ideal for long-term care facilities, home care bedrooms, assisted living settings, hospital-style beds, recovery care, caregiver-supported environments, and users who need an alternating pressure and low air loss mattress system with foam base support for a compatible medical bed frame. The Assure is Drive's hybrid entry in the Med-Aire family: 5" of alternating air cells running the powered therapy — pressure cycling off each body area on the pump's schedule while low air loss moves the heat and moisture that leave skin vulnerable — over a 3" foam base that puts a supportive floor beneath the air work, so a settling user, a transfer's concentrated load, or a momentary pressure dip meets foam instead of frame, which is the assurance the name points to and the practical difference from all-air builds in outages, transport, and daily handling. It slots into the Med-Aire family beside the standard 8" all-air system, the 84" Plus, and the bariatric 42" build — so route by need: hybrid construction here, extended length or bariatric width in the siblings. Install per Drive's instructions with the combined 8" system secured to a matching deck, hoses kink-free clear of rails and feet, and the pump set to the user's weight and the care plan's settings; verify full inflation and cycling before the user takes the bed, keep the outage and transport procedures where caregivers can act on them, and re-verify rail clearances after installation since surface changes reset the entrapment picture. Linens stay light so the low air loss function breathes, the care plan continues at full schedule — repositioning, skin checks, protocols — and the pump, cells, hoses, and foam base hold their place on the maintenance rotation, with faults sent for service, and candidacy for powered surfaces set by the care team's assessment.
