Protekt® Aire 3500 – Low Air Loss / Alternating Pressure Mattress System with 3" Safety Base

The Protekt® Aire 3500 is a therapeutic support surface that combines low air loss and alternating pressure therapies in one system, with the added safety of a 3" densified fiber base beneath a 5" air mattress. This design helps provide continued support in the event of a power failure while delivering enhanced pressure redistribution and microclimate management for users at risk of pressure ulcers.

A durable, quiet, and user-friendly pump allows caregivers to adjust firmness based on patient comfort and clinical needs. The Aire 3500 is available as a standard mattress system or with foam raised side rails for additional edge support and safety. This makes it well-suited for both homecare and facility environments where comfort, skin integrity, and safety are priorities.

Clinical Applications & Use Considerations

• Pressure Injury Prevention & Management – Designed to help manage and reduce pressure at the skin surface through alternating pressure therapy and deep immersion.
• Microclimate Management – Low air loss function helps promote a cooler, drier surface for patients where heat and moisture build-up may affect skin integrity.
• Non-Ambulatory & Limited Mobility Patients – Appropriate for individuals who spend extended time in bed and require assisted repositioning or turning schedules.
• Post-Acute & Long-Term Care Settings – Suitable for use in homecare, skilled nursing, hospice and rehabilitation settings following a clinician’s plan of care.
• Clinical Oversight Recommended – Selection and use of any therapeutic support surface should be guided by the patient’s healthcare team as part of a comprehensive pressure injury prevention and treatment plan.

Maneuverability & Portability

• Compact Pump Design – The Protekt® Aire 3500 uses the updated Protekt® Aire 3000 pump design, combining durability and quiet operation in a compact, easy-to-mount unit.
• Standard Bed Compatibility – Sized for most 36" x 80" homecare and institutional bed frames.
• Easy Setup – Simple hose connection and plug-in power supply support quick deployment in home and facility settings.
• Service-Friendly – Removable cover and accessible components help streamline cleaning and routine maintenance.

Stability, Safety & Control

• 3" Densified Fiber Safety Base – 5" of active air cells sit above a 3" densified fiber base, providing a supportive backup surface in case of power loss or deflation.
• Static Mode for Transfers – Static function allows the surface to remain fully inflated and stable for safer transfers and certain care procedures.
• Visual Low Pressure Alarm – A visual alert indicates when system pressure may be compromised so caregivers can quickly check connections and settings.
• Optional Raised Side Rails – The 83500RR model adds foam raised rails to help reduce roll-out risk and improve edge awareness for patients who need extra boundary support.
• Weight Capacity 350 lbs – Engineered to safely support users up to 350 lbs when used according to manufacturer guidelines.

Comfort, Microclimate & Skin Protection

• Low Air Loss Therapy – 18 laser-cut low air loss holes help move air across the surface to keep the patient cool and dry, supporting moisture and heat management.
• Alternating Pressure Therapy – Powered alternating cycles help redistribute pressure and promote periods of off-loading at key contact points.
• Adjustable Air Flow Dial – Easily tailor firmness/pressure levels based on patient weight, comfort and clinical requirements.
• Pillow Top Design – Fixed pillow section at the head end reduces unnecessary movement of the head and neck during alternating cycles.
• Comfort-Enhanced Cover – Nylon top cover is fluid resistant, anti-microbial/anti-bacterial, and quilted for added comfort while remaining easy to clean.
