Description
Invacare microAIR MA500 Alternating Pressure Low Air Loss Mattress is a therapeutic support surface designed to assist in the prevention and treatment of pressure injuries. This lightweight, user-friendly mattress system combines alternating pressure therapy with low air loss technology to provide effective pressure redistribution, moisture control, and enhanced patient comfort in home care and long term care settings.
Features:
- Alternating Pressure Low Air Loss Technology: The MA500 utilizes a 2-in-1 alternating pressure cycle to deliver consistent pressure redistribution for patients at low to medium risk of pressure injuries. The alternating air cells help reduce prolonged pressure on vulnerable areas, supporting skin protection and wound management.
- Highly Vapor Permeable Top Cover: An oversized, pliable quilted nylon top cover is highly vapor permeable and designed to reduce shear and friction. It helps manage moisture at the skin surface, promoting comfort and maintaining skin integrity during extended bed rest.
- Soft Nylon Urethane-Backed Cells: Durable nylon cells with urethane backing are easy to clean and support infection control practices. The material helps minimize bacterial growth while maintaining surface comfort.
- Natural Heel Slope: The integrated heel slope design reduces pressure in the heel zone, an area highly susceptible to pressure injury development, enhancing protective support and patient comfort.
- Multiple Snap Bladders: Secure snap bladder construction improves cell stability during patient movement, helping maintain consistent therapeutic performance and mattress integrity.
- Cell-in-Cell Design: The cell-in-cell configuration helps prevent bottoming out during a power interruption, maintaining underlying support and promoting patient safety.
Additional Features:

Highly Vapor Permeable Top Cover:
- The quilted nylon top cover offers low shear and friction properties with moisture protection, supporting a comfortable and protective patient environment.

Cable Management System:
- An integrated cable management system keeps power cords organized and elevated, helping reduce trip hazards in the care setting.

Nylon Non-Slip Base Cover:
- The non-slip nylon base enhances stability during bed articulation and reduces shear forces, contributing to improved positioning and comfort.
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.
