After I had my 2nd pressure wound the doctor ordered me this mattress that
Medicare purchased.
Invacare microAIR Alternating Pressure Low Air Loss Mattress
Energy-saving 50 LPM compressor offers four treatment cycles and pressure
monitoring.
Product ID: MA65
HCPCS Code: E0277**
HMESA CODE: 10-10
I used one just like that for a few years, then got one that was 8 iches deep.
I liked ok, but if you got a wound, you may need a thinker one, if not a sand blowing bed.
You got to see a wound doc, if its more than a little sore, it will never heal until the dead stuff is cut away, and packed.

I'm on my 2nd one. The 1st one Worked very well for a couple of years, it
was a Genesis deluxe made by roscoe medical. But, it stopped holding air
after a couple of years. I bought it on Amazon for about $350.
I bought another one, an Invacare microAIR on eBay. Been using it for
about a month.
Has anyone got a new low pressure air mattress?
The bed and mattress that I got in 1998 is on last leg.
I had a Sunerise Medical pump that is no longer around and the mattress
will not hold air at my feet.

That's a good start Glenn. A 5000 watt generator with electric start is
also a good idea. A 20KW, natural gas gen-set is the best way to go with
