Joerns DermaFloat APL Therapeutic Mattress System is a clinically engineered support surface designed to prevent and treat pressure ulcers through the proven combination of alternating pressure and low air loss therapy. Ideal for long-term care, hospital, and home healthcare environments, the DermaFloat APL helps protect patient skin integrity, enhance comfort, and promote wound healing—especially for individuals at moderate to high risk of developing pressure injuries.

This advanced pressure redistribution mattress features 20 individually controlled air cells that automatically alternate inflation and deflation to relieve pressure points and promote blood circulation. The integrated low air loss system delivers consistent airflow beneath the therapy pad, reducing heat and moisture buildup that can contribute to skin breakdown. With customizable comfort settings, quiet operation, and intelligent safety features such as power failure alarms and automatic panel lockouts, the DermaFloat APL provides both patients and caregivers with confidence and peace of mind.

Lightweight, portable, and easy to maintain, this system supports clinical effectiveness and operational efficiency across a wide range of care settings—combining therapeutic performance with Joerns’ legacy of reliability and innovation.
