Description
ObboMed OB-1600 UtitliyAir Alternating Pressure Ulcer Prevention Mattress with Low Air Loss Air & Self-Lateral Rotation
Alternating • Low Air Loss • Self-Lateral Rotation •
When patients stay in bed for long periods, constant pressure, trapped heat, and moisture can cause skin damage and make care more difficult. Regular mattresses cannot effectively relieve these issues.
The OB-1600 is a 6-inch deep mattress made with a single air layer to provide alternating pressure for the patient. It has 7-inch high side bolsters that act as barriers to help reduce the chance of rolling out of the bed. The system includes an easy-to-use control panel, which lets caregivers adjust air pressure, select modes, and view alerts.

-
Advanced Alternating Pressure Therapy
The alternating pressure system gently shifts air within the mattress in timed cycles to relieve constant pressure on the skin. This continuous redistribution helps prevent and manage Stage 1–4 pressure ulcers, improves blood circulation, and supports faster tissue repair for patients who spend extended hours in bed.
-
Comfort-Focused Low Air Loss With High-Volume Airflow
A powerful ventilation system delivers 16 LPM low air loss to actively remove heat and moisture beneath the body. This maintains a dry, cool microclimate—essential for preventing skin maceration, irritation, and infection. By controlling temperature and humidity at the skin level, patient care becomes safer, easier, and more effective.
-
15° Self Lateral Rotation
The Specialized air cells inflate and deflate to gently rotate the user by 15 degrees. This wave-like motion redistributes body weight, relieves pressure points, stimulates blood circulation, and assists in preventing bedsores.
Fowler/Seating: Stable Support When Sitting Up
Sitting up in bed without proper support can lead to sliding, sinking too deeply, reduced stability, and added pressure on the body. The Fowler/Seating function of the ObboMed OB-1600 addresses this by adding support to the torso and seat areas when the bed is raised. This helps reduce the chance of sliding or “bottoming out,” keeping the patient in a stable position for activities such as eating, reading, or talking.

- System defaults to “Alternating” mode automatically after Max inflate or 1-hour in Static Mode
Key Feature and Benefits
Low Air Loss (LAL ) Therapy
The mattress has a built-in airflow system that releases up to 15 liters of air per minute under the cover. This helps reduce heat and moisture around the skin, creating a cooler and drier surface for the patient.
15° Self-Lateral Rotation:
Specialized air cells gently inflate and deflate to create a 15° wave-like motion that redistributes pressure, improves circulation, enhances sleep quality, and helps prevent bedsores.
Sinking Feature with Centralization:
The mattress lowers up to 4 inches, working with the 4-inch inflatable guardrails to form an 8-inch deep soft barrier. This keeps the patient centered and safe during rotation.
Features of ObboMed’s Top Cover:
-
German-made 4-way stretch polyurethane (PU) leather top cover with quilted underside to minimize friction and shearing of skin. Machine washable.
-
Antimicrobial properties, biocompatible, anti-allergic and anti-irritating. Free of latex, lead and mercury.
-
Permeable material allows perspiration to vacate through the top cover to remove moisture and body heat by Low Air Loss.
-
Air cells are composed of thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) and nylon. Through ultrasonic high-frequency sealing, the air cells are heat-melt airtight.
-
Liquid-proof and fireproof (complies with US standards: 16 CFR 1632, 16 CFR 1633, TB129)
