ABSTRACT:
A foam support pad for nonambulatory persons provides for an even 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. Electric fans disposed throughout the pad boost airflow to the skin areas in contact with the pad. Portions of the pad are detachable along perforations to allow the insertion of pad sectors capable of accommodating a plurality of fans.
