Invacare microAIR MA500 Alternating Pressure Low Air Loss Mattress, an advanced solution designed for the treatment and prevention of pressure injuries. This lightweight and easy-to-use mattress offers superior comfort and support, with innovative features to enhance patient well-being.
Features:
- Alternating Pressure Low Air Loss Technology: The MA500 mattress utilizes alternating pressure low air loss technology, making it ideal for patients with low to medium risk of pressure injuries. The 2-in-1 alternating pressure cycles provide comfortable and relaxing support, helping prevent skin breakdown and enhance wound healing.
- Highly Vapor Permeable Top Cover: The mattress features a highly vapor permeable and oversized pliable quilted nylon top cover, providing friction, low shear, and moisture protection. This ensures optimal comfort and skin integrity for patients.
- Soft Nylon Urethane-Backed Cells: Soft nylon urethane-backed cells decrease the proliferation of bacterial growth and are easy to clean, promoting hygiene and infection control.
- Natural Heel Slope: The natural heel slope design decreases pressure in the patient's vulnerable heel area, reducing the risk of pressure ulcers and enhancing patient comfort.
- Multiple Snap Bladders: Multiple snap bladders make cells more secure with patient movement, ensuring stability and support throughout use.
- Cell-in-Cell Design: The cell-in-cell design prevents bottoming out in the event of a power failure, providing continuous support and safety for patients.
Additional Features:

Highly Vapor Permeable Top Cover:
- The oversized pliable quilted nylon top cover provides low shear, friction, and moisture protection, ensuring patient comfort and skin integrity.

Cable Management System:
- An integrated cable management system keeps cords away from the ground, helping prevent trip hazards and ensuring patient safety.

Nylon Non-Slip Base Cover:
- The nylon non-slip base cover reduces shear and friction during bed articulation, enhancing patient comfort and stability.
Note: Please call or email us to order the microAIR MA500 Pump separately.
As part of the Mattress Recycling Council (MRC) program, Connecticut, Rhode Island, and California customers will incur an additional recycling fee of $20.50 per mattress purchase.
