Benefits of Low Air Loss Mattress: How it Works and Selection Tips

Low air loss (LAL) designs move a small volume of air through or across the support medium to help manage heat and moisture at the skin interface.

They are often considered when patients show moisture-associated skin damage risk or prolonged immobility, provided the care setting can manage power, noise, and linen compatibility.

Selection should reference IFU indications, weight limits, and cleaning compatibility with your facility’s disinfectant policy.
