1. Вступ
The Tuffcare Alternating Pressure Pad and Pump System is a mattress overlay designed to provide therapeutic support and pressure relief. This system aids in the prevention and treatment of skin conditions such as pressure ulcers (bedsores) and can help alleviate discomfort from prolonged bed rest or poor sleeping posture. It works by quietly distributing pressure evenly across the body, promoting blood circulation through its alternating air cell inflation and deflation cycles.
