Air Flow
Warranty
For years, the Australian market has had to make do with older generation active
pressure care technology at the more affordable end of the market. Now finally,
the Air-Lo line of support systems makes available the latest in alternating technology
and quality previously only seen in higher end systems. The information below
represents a summary of the main quality differences that make ALL the difference
in Therapy, Infection Control and Comfort.

Theraflow Standard
Reperfusion Support System
DynamULink™ Turbocharged Deflation
A new patented cell design uses elasticised members to transfer the power of inflating cells to force down
the deflating sets.
This alternately removes almost all interface pressure under nearly 80% of the patient’s body. The at risk heel area
is completely elevated for nearly 30% of the alternation cycle.
This unique cell design allows cell pairs to naturally remain upright when normal cells deform or collapse under
patient weight.
Infection Control: All outer surfaces are fully welded. A unique “mattress within a mattress” design ensures
complete protection.

King Single
Reperfusion Support System
Breakthrough pressure release technology just got wider!
All the advantages of the original Theraflow alternating mattress replacement have been designed into this new
extended support system recommended for patients weighing from 40 to 180kg.
Enhanced Patient Support
Additional, static side cells provide additional support to the to patients especially during transfers and repositioning.
The new Theraflow King Single can fit any standard king single bed measuring around 105 to 110 cm in width.
New Cellstay Support Coverlet
A robust side skirt design integrated into the coverlet binds the whole mattress together increasing the system’s ability
to support a variety of patient loads safely and securely.
Microfibre Foam for Enhanced Therapy
The coverlet is constructed with a 5cm layer of hyperstretch open cell foam which in turn is coated with a microfibre
material similar to that used in high performance athletic wear to wick moisture away from the body.
The coverlet therefore not only insulates the patient from “Cell Chill” but also from any excess moisture buildup.
The thin foam layer also assists in avoiding reperfusion injury in patients at high risk of sub-dermal vascular damage.
Turbocharged Deflation
The patented dynamulink cell design uses elasticised members to transfer the power of inflating cells to force down
the deflating sets.
This alternately removes almost all interface pressure under nearly 80% of the patient’s body
