<p>A disposable or reusable "crawl resistant" flexible mattress (3) formed of panels (20, 21) sealed together to define alternately inflatable passages (13, 14) between the panels for sequentially altering supporting structure for a long term bed patient to reduce decubitus ulcers, bed sores, etc. The mattress has vent holes (24, 25) in its top for ventilating the patient with inflation gas and a crawl resistant layer (22) bonded to a bottom (21) of the mattress to prevent the mattress from "crawling" relative to the bed and patient during use. In one form of the mattress, crawling is reduced by a separation between the inflation passages so individual sections of the mattress can more readily conform to a patient's body contour. </p> |
