ABSTRACT:
An air cushion with selectively deflated chambers has a base, multiple air pouches, multiple attachment devices, at least two air tubes, an air pump and a cover sheet. The air pouches are mounted on the base, and each air pouch has an inner space and multiple compression straps. The inner space is divided into multiple chambers that communicate with each other. Each compression strap keeps a selected chamber of the air pouches from inflating. The attachment devices are mounted on the base to attach the air pouches to the base. The at least two air tubes connect to the air pouches and communicates with the inner spaces of the air pouches. The air pump connects to and pumps air through the air tubes into the air pouches. Any one of the chambers can be kept from inflating if the chamber contacts injured skin of a patient.
