The Pegasus Airwave and the Bi-Wave Plus are examples of alternating-pressure air mattress (APAM) systems that are more reliable than the older generation of APAMs. The Pegasus Airwave is useful for managing severe pressure sores, as well as for preventing sores in 'high-risk' patients. The Bi-Wave Plus is more suitable for patients with a 'fairly high risk' of developing sores and some patients may find it more comfortable than the Pegasus Airwave.
“飞马”气浪床垫和“双波升级版”床垫是交替压力气床垫(APAM)系统的范例,比上一代APAM更可靠。“飞马”气浪床垫有助于处理严重压疮,也可用于预防“高危”患者出现压疮。“双波升级版”床垫更适合有“较高风险”出现压疮的患者,一些患者可能会觉得它比“飞马”气浪床垫更舒适。
