ABSTRACT:
A pneumatic device for therapeutic treatment of the skin and skin pressure areas of immobile patients seated in a chair, or a mobile wheel chair, which provides for alternating low air loss pressure sacs that are in contact with the seated patient that includes an air sac array overlay that is conveniently and quickly mounted to a bedside chair, or wheel chair, a portable air supply that can be attached for controlling the individual air sac alternating air pressures, the portable air supply housing being mounted on the side arm of a chair, or another location on a wheel chair, and a separate removable coverlet that is liquid impervious for incontinent patients while providing for sweat absorption for the patient seated thereon. The portable air supply can be quickly detached from the air sac chair overlay for use with a bed mattress air pressure alternating device. The portable air supply being battery powered when used on a mobile wheel chair.
