ABSTRACT:
A foam support pad for nonambulatory persons provides for a wide weight distribution and maximum aeration of skin areas in contact with the pad to prevent the formation of decubitus ulcers. The top surface of the pad has an array of protuberances and valleys thereon, air channels extend through the pad, and a grooved reticulated foam layer provides a flow-through base. An electric fan disposed in the interior of the pad boosts airflow to the skin areas in contact with the pad. Cold packs or heating pads can be accommodated within the pad to adjust the temperature of the airflow accordingly.
