An alternating pressure pad is a medical device that is commonly used to prevent and treat pressure ulcers (also known as bedsores) in patients who are bedridden or spend long periods of time sitting in a chair or wheelchair. The pad consists of multiple air cells that are alternately inflated and deflated in a cycle, which helps to redistribute pressure and improve blood flow to the affected areas.
