Quick answer: The ripple anti-decubitus mattress with pump is KSh 6,000, down from KSh 8,500. Alternating air cells change which part of the skin carries weight, which is why it is the standard buy for a patient who cannot turn without help. It fits our hospital beds and most home beds.

What it does, stated plainly
A ripple mattress inflates and deflates alternating cells so the same points of skin are not loaded for hours. It is used to lower the risk of pressure sores in patients who spend most of the day in bed. It is equipment, not treatment. Turning schedules, skin checks and nutrition stay with the nurse or doctor looking after the patient, and an existing sore needs clinical care regardless of the mattress.
Foam or ripple
A foam mattress at KSh 12,000 is firm, waterproof and easy to clean, and it is the right choice for a patient who still shifts their own weight. Ripple is for the patient who does not. Side by side on the ripple vs foam page.
Power and pump care
The pump runs from a mains socket and stays plugged in. Keep it off the floor where it can be kicked or take mop water, and keep the hose free of kinks. If power is out for hours, the cells hold air for a while but the alternating cycle stops, so keep to the turning schedule.
