Drive Medical PreserveTech™ Lateral Rotation Mattress System with On-Demand Low Air Loss
Drive PreserveTech LS9500N Lateral Rotation Mattress System
Advanced Lateral Rotation & Premium Microclimate Management
When users spend nearly all day and night on the same surface during an extended home care routine, frequent manual repositioning can become a significant physical challenge. The Drive Medical PreserveTech™ LS9500N provides a highly advanced, active mattress replacement layout that combines automated lateral rotation with high-volume low air loss therapy. This professional-grade system assists seamlessly with routine turning schedules, actively redistributing weight and reducing skin shear to provide premium posture relaxation and long-term daily comfort.
The core of this advanced personal system is a microprocessor-controlled pump delivering a powerful 50 LPM of on-demand airflow to wick away heat and moisture from the surface. Caregivers can completely customize the automated turning protocol, selecting from flexible angles up to 40° and adjustable cycle frequencies. Outfitted with high side air bolsters and an integrated safety foam foundation, the layout ensures continuous infrastructure protection and a reassuring sense of security on standard home care bed frames.
Key Performance Features
- Tri-Mode Lateral Rotation: Offers customizable turning angles (¼, ½, ¾, or a full 40°) with programmable Left, Right, Both, or Static mode options.
- On-Demand Low Air Loss: High-volume 50 LPM airflow actively manages the surface microclimate, lowering skin temperature and moisture retention.
- PreserveTech™ Antimicrobial Cover: Quilted 4-way stretch cover is fluid-resistant, vapor-permeable, and treated with an advanced antimicrobial agent to shield against surface wear.
- Integrated Side Air Bolsters: Substantial 10-inch outer air bolsters form a secure perimeter boundary, keeping the user optimally centered during active turning cycles.
- 24-Hour Safety Foam Base: Built-in 2-inch dense internal foam layer delivers uninterrupted infrastructure cushioning to prevent bottoming out if property power is lost.
- Advanced Digital Adjustments: User-friendly control unit features 10 customized comfort settings and four selectable cycle frequencies (10, 20, 30, and 60 minutes).
- Caregiver Security Controls: Includes automated Auto-Firm for rapid initial inflation, a control panel lock-out setting, and a quick-release safety CPR valve.
Equipment Specialist Insight: The LS9500N represents a premier tier of active combination surfaces. Its powerful 50 LPM pump is significantly faster and more efficient at managing moisture than standard bariatric pumps. When activating the lateral rotation features, the integrated 10-inch side bolsters are incredibly useful, providing an active pneumatic cradling effect that preserves user positioning and boosts confidence during automated turning cycles.

Q: How do the customizable lateral rotation modes function during a daily routine?
A: The digital control unit allows you to program exactly how the mattress shifts. You can set it to turn exclusively to the left, exclusively to the right, or alternate between both sides. Combined with four adjustable cycle times, this automates routine position changes to significantly reduce the physical demand of manual adjustments.
Q: How does the internal safety foundation protect the user during a property utility interruption?
A: The mattress incorporates a dual-layer safety profile. If the property experiences a power outage and the 50 LPM compressor stops running, the upper air chambers will slowly depressurize. However, the integrated 2-inch dense foam base layer remains solid underneath, acting as a supportive barrier that prevents the user from bottoming out against the bed frame.
Q: What are the transport setup and connection steps required when the system arrives?
A: Unroll the mattress flat over your existing bed frame. Use the integrated hooks on the digital control unit to hang the pump onto the footboard, connect the quick-connect air lines securely, and plug the power cord into a standard outlet. Activate the Auto-Firm setting to allow the 10-inch deep air columns and side bolsters to reach full initial inflation rapidly.
