LAS 500 Low Air Loss Therapy System is a true Low-air-Loss-
System“. It can be operated in static as well as in alternating mode.
Its technology is based on a high air stream, in connection with large air openings
of the cells. The result is an air cushion effect. It enables the patient to sink in
deeply, resulting in a reduced pressure Therefore the system is especially suited
for the application on pain-sensitive patients.
Contrary to ordinary alternating pressure system the alternating mode operates in
a 3 to 1 principle. The system alternately ventilates two cells, while it removes air
from the third one. This results in a very low partial bearing pressure in the
alternate mode as well.
