ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a decubitus ulcer prevention device, which comprises an air generator having a fan, an air mattress for receiving air, from the air generator, that is discharged at a surface through minute air discharge holes, and a hose for connecting the air mattress to the air generator. Along a flow path of the air that passes through the fan, are located, in order as named, a heater and an alkaline chlorine dioxide gas generator, in which is internally provided a ceramic body that is impregnated with an alkaline chlorine dioxide solution. Air that is heated, by passing through the heater, is brought into contact with the ceramic body, so that air that includes alkaline chlorine dioxide gas is thus supplied to the air mattress.
