Protekt Supreme Support Powered Mattress System
ProtektĀ® Supreme Support Powered Self-Adjusting Air/Foam Mattress System
Powered Alternating-Pressure Pump Therapy, 10 Interconnected Air Equalization Cells, VGPT⢠Gel-Infused Memory Foam Top, Sloped Heel Protection, and Fluid-Resistant Stretch Nylon Cover
Managing advanced pressure injury prevention and treatment for bedbound patients requires dynamic surface technology that continuously adapts to movement. Standard static foam mattresses can allow pressure peaks over bony prominences during extended bed rest. The ProtektĀ® Supreme Support Powered Air/Foam Mattress System provides a comprehensive solution by combining self-adjusting passive air cell technology with active alternating-pressure pump therapy.
Constructed with a core of 10 interconnected air cells utilizing self-adjusting equalization valves, the mattress automatically rebalances internal air pressure as the patient shifts. The included digital pump introduces dynamic alternating pressure, continuously rotating weight-bearing zones to stimulate blood flow and aid wound healing. Topped with a layer of Visco Gel Polymer Technology (VGPTā¢) memory foam that dissipates heat, a sloped heel section for targeted lower leg offloading, and a fluid-resistant stretch nylon cover, this system supports up to 700 lbs across standard and bariatric widths.
Key Performance Features & Benefit Highlights
- Dual-Layer Powered & Passive Therapy: Combines 10 self-adjusting air equalization cells with an active alternating-pressure pump for optimal pressure redistribution.
- VGPT⢠Gel-Infused Memory Foam Top: Open-cell visco foam infused with gel polymers conducts body heat away from the skin surface to keep patients cool.
- Dedicated Sloped Heel Section: Anatomically sloped foot zone offloads pressure from vulnerable heel tissue toward the calf muscles.
- Automated Equalization Valves: Interconnected air cells automatically react to weight shifts without requiring manual air inflation adjustments.
- Fluid-Resistant Stretch Nylon Cover: Low-shear, breathable top cover is fluid-resistant, anti-microbial, and fire-retardant for easy hygiene maintenance.
- Expanded Width Options (36" to 54"): Available in standard 36-inch width as well as bariatric 42-inch, 48-inch, and 54-inch configurations supporting up to 700 lbs.
- 100% FSA / HSA Eligible: Qualified therapeutic mattress system eligible for pre-tax Flexible Spending Account and Health Savings Account reimbursement.
Wound Care & Bedding Specialist Insight: The powered version of the Supreme Support mattress provides an ideal upgrade path for patients who need active wound therapy. If a patient's condition changes or active pump inflation isn't required full-time, the internal air valves continue to self-adjust passively. The VGPT gel top layer is also a major comfort advantage for patients prone to overheating.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What makes this the "powered" version compared to the standard model?
A: The powered version includes an external alternating-pressure pump that actively inflates and deflates air cells in alternating cycles. The non-powered version uses the same mattress with passive air self-equalization but without active pump operation.
Q: How does VGPT gel memory foam help with sleeping temperature?
A: Visco Gel Polymer Technology integrates gel beads into open-cell memory foam, creating pathways that draw heat away from the body to reduce moisture buildup and skin maceration.
Q: Which size should I choose for my medical bed frame?
A: Standard hospital bed frames take the 36" x 80" size (or 36" x 84" for extra-long frames). Bariatric bed frames require the 42", 48", or 54" wide models depending on the frame deck width.
