Alternate Pressure Pads usually are "mattress overlays" that are designed to heal and prevent stage 1 and stage 2 pressure ulcers. They are designed to fit easily over an existing mattress to prevent new bedsores from developing.

Alternate Pressure Pads are often referred to as "APP Overlays" and they consist of inflatable mattresses that use alternating pressure to heal and prevent bedsores. They also use a built in low air loss system that helps to keep the patient dry while preventing skin breakdown. Most systems have replaceable components helping to insure a long life and wise investment.

Low Air Loss Systems consist of a continues air pump and inflatable mattress that has microscopic holes in the mattress material that offer an almost imperceptible air leakage helping keep the patient's skin dry for improved healing.
