Introducing the Apollo 8 Dynamic Air Mattress for Very High Risk Users

The Apollo 8 dynamic air replacement mattress gives reliable pressure care for people at very high risk. It replaces a standard mattress and uses moving air cells to reduce pressure and help protect the skin. The design keeps care teams safe and makes daily use simple.

What the Apollo 8 mattress is and who it helps

The Apollo 8 helps people who are bedbound or who have limited movement. It helps people who face a high risk of pressure sores and those who already have tissue damage. The mattress also suits larger users because it supports up to 30 stone.

How the dynamic therapy works to protect skin integrity

The mattress fills the figure of eight cells in a 12 minute cycle. Cells inflate and deflate in sequence so pressure moves across the body. This lowers interface pressures and gently stimulates capillaries. The routine movement improves circulation and helps protect skin health. You can also adjust the mattress to match a person body shape and position.

Designed for very high risk pressure care

The system uses 17 figure of eight alternating cells plus three static head cells. It has a single set of alternating cells and adjustable weight settings. The mattress offers a static mode for stable transfers. Quick CPR deflation lets staff respond in an emergency. Audible and visual alarms help staff to spot problems fast.

Hygiene, infection control and clinical safety

The cover is multi stretch polyurethane. It is waterproof and vapour permeable so it manages humidity and reduces friction. You can wipe the cover clean or remove it for laundering at 90 degrees to meet hygiene standards. The seams are high frequency welded to reduce fluid ingress. The system resists common bacteria and viruses and shows proven resistance to MRSA.

Practical features that make daily care easier

The pump runs quietly and uses power efficiently. It has clear and simple controls so staff need little training. External air filters make routine maintenance easier. A 12 hour backup keeps the mattress inflated during power loss or patient moves.

Comfort and pressure redistribution

The figure of eight cells create a larger contact area and spread pressure more evenly. The alternating action offers gentle movement that supports comfort and skin protection. Manual tuning lets carers set the mattress for each user posture and need.

Where Apollo 8 is suitable for use

Use Apollo 8 in hospitals, care homes and at home. It fits a wide range of profiling beds so it works with most clinical setups. The battery backup and simple controls make it practical for many care settings.

Who benefits most from this mattress

This mattress benefits people who are fully or largely bedbound, users with very limited mobility, and those at high risk of pressure ulcer development. It is also an excellent choice for patients who already have pressure damage, because the alternating therapy and humidity management support both prevention and healing goals. Care teams who need an easy to use, clinically robust mattress with strong infection control credentials will also find Apollo 8 a reliable solution.
