ObboMed OB-1680 Pressure Redistribution Mattress System | Alternating Pressure & Low Air Loss
ObboMed OB-1680 Alternating Pressure Mattress System with Low Air Loss
The ObboMed OB-1680 Alternating Pressure Mattress System is an advanced therapeutic air mattress designed to help prevent and manage Stage 1 through Stage 4 pressure injuries while providing exceptional comfort for patients who remain in bed for extended periods. Ideal for hospitals, rehabilitation centers, nursing facilities, and home healthcare, the OB-1680 combines alternating pressure therapy, true low air loss, automated lateral rotation, and innovative caregiver-assist features to promote patient comfort, skin protection, and improved clinical outcomes.
The mattress utilizes advanced alternating pressure technology that continuously inflates and deflates individual air cells to redistribute pressure, improve circulation, and reduce prolonged stress on vulnerable areas of the body. Caregivers can customize alternating therapy cycles of 10, 20, 30, or 40 minutes to match each patient's comfort level and therapeutic needs.
The integrated Fowler Support System provides additional support beneath the torso and pelvic areas when the head of the bed is elevated, helping reduce bottoming out while maintaining proper pressure redistribution in seated positions.
Advanced Patient Care Features
Alternating Pressure Therapy
-
Adjustable therapy cycles of 10, 20, 30, or 40 minutes
-
Continuously redistributes body weight
-
Promotes healthy circulation
-
Helps reduce pressure injury risk
-
Improves long-term patient comfort
Comfort-Focused Low Air Loss Therapy
The integrated True Low Air Loss system delivers 15 LPM of continuous airflow beneath the mattress cover while a built-in airflow fan helps reduce heat and moisture accumulation. This creates a cooler, drier microclimate that supports healthy skin and enhances patient comfort.
Self-Lateral Rotation
The mattress gently repositions patients throughout the day using programmable lateral rotation therapy to reduce prolonged pressure and assist caregivers with routine repositioning.
Available rotation settings include:
-
15° Self-Lateral Rotation
-
25° Right Rotation
-
25° Left Rotation
-
25° Automatic Rotation
-
40° Automatic Rotation
These automated positioning programs may also help improve pulmonary function by encouraging secretion mobilization and reducing the risk of respiratory complications.
Patented Easy-Go™ Bedpan Function (Manual)
The Easy-Go™ Bedpan feature allows caregivers to manually deflate four air cells beneath the pelvic area, creating a recessed opening that accommodates a bedpan in approximately 20 seconds. This minimizes patient movement while improving comfort, safety, and caregiver efficiency.
Patented Easy-Go™ Shampoo Function (Manual)
The manual Easy-Go™ Shampoo feature creates a recessed area beneath the head, allowing a shampoo basin to be positioned quickly for convenient in-bed hair washing without unnecessary patient transfers.
Inflatable Air-Filled Guardrails
Patented inflatable side guardrails provide a softer, safer alternative to traditional metal rails. Their center opening allows easier patient access while helping reduce fall risk and minimizing bruising or impact injuries.
Patient Centralization System
The mattress incorporates a unique sinking feature that lowers the patient up to 4 inches, working together with the inflatable guardrails to create an approximately 8-inch soft protective barrier. This helps keep patients centered during alternating pressure and lateral rotation therapy while allowing caregivers easy access.
