The Ares 4 Mattress is one of the advanced systems in the Ares series. The digital multi-mode pump does not only offer alternating pressure redistribution but also has a static mode with constant low-pressure reduction. In alternating mode, the pressure is periodically redistributed by inflating and deflating cells to mimic natural sleep movement patterns and avoid long-term pressurisation of tissue. In constant static mode, the pressure is about 2/3 lowered compared to the same pressure level from alternating mode utilising immersion and envelopment.

When patients are at significant risk of pressure sore development, complete replacement mattresses that feature alternating air therapy must be used, but these can often be prohibitively expensive. The Ares 4 Pressure Relief Alternating Air Mattress Replacement System is designed to provide high levels of support and relief and includes features that are normally only found in much higher specification mattresses. This mattress allows for easy control by a carer with its intuitive weight settings and is an ideal cost-effective option for those at high risk of pressure sore development.
