Lateral Rotation Pressure Relief Mattresses

Using lateral rotation therapy assists in mobilizing pulmonary secretions and bodily fluids related to immobility. Additionally, continual bilateral turning combined with low air loss helps reduce interface pressure against vulnerable skin sites, supports moisture control, and decreases manual turning physical demands on clinical care teams and home caregivers.

A hospital bed with lateral rotation features an integrated or replacement therapeutic mattress capable of scheduled, mechanical turning. The mattress gently inflates alternating lateral air bladders to rotate the patient up to 40 degrees, supporting clinical care routines while retaining safety features such as raised side air perimeter rails.

Yes. Lateral rotation systems are indicated for patients with existing stage 1, 2, 3, and 4 pressure ulcers when used in conjunction with facility policies on pressure area management. By alternating support zones and reducing constant tissue loading, these surfaces help facilitate clinical wound treatment regimens.

A lateral rotation bed utilizes a dedicated powered therapeutic mattress system programmed to rotate patients between left turn, right turn, or full turn cycles. These systems also offer static therapy modes, true low air loss for microclimate management, and foam safety bases to maintain support during power loss.

Specialized rotating mattress systems such as the Duet and Rhythm Turn are available through medical equipment dealer networks, specialty rental fleet operators, and institutional healthcare supply channels. Healthcare facilities and dealers can contact Prius Healthcare USA directly to coordinate equipment acquisition.
