Protekt Aire 5000DX Low Air Loss and Alternating Pressure Mattress System

Call 866-218-0902 to speak with a mattress specialist.

A meaningful step up in therapy — without stepping into specialty system complexity — the 5000DX combines low air loss moisture control and alternating pressure therapy in one well-built system that caregivers can rely on day to day.

The Protekt Aire 5000DX is designed for patients who need more than entry-level pressure relief but do not yet require the highest tier of clinical support. It brings together two proven therapies — alternating pressure to continuously redistribute weight away from vulnerable areas, and low air loss to reduce the heat and moisture buildup that accelerates skin breakdown — in a system built for real-world home care and facility use.

The digital pump allows caregivers to fine-tune pressure settings based on patient weight and comfort needs. The static transfer mode makes repositioning and patient movement safer and easier. And the 3-inch support base helps prevent bottoming out if power is interrupted — a reassuring safety net for overnight home care use.

• Patients at moderate to high risk for pressure injuries or skin breakdown
• Patients requiring both low air loss and alternating pressure therapy in one system
• Individuals on extended bed rest in home care or long-term care settings

Why Choose the 5000DX?

The 5000DX occupies a genuinely useful position in the Protekt Aire range — it delivers clinical-grade dual therapy without the cost or complexity of the highest-tier specialty systems. For many caregivers, it is exactly the right level of support.

The combination of low air loss and alternating pressure in one unit means fewer components to manage and more consistent therapy delivery. The digital pump gives caregivers precise control rather than rough dial adjustments. And practical features like the static transfer mode and CPR valve show that this system was designed with the realities of daily caregiving in mind — not just clinical performance on paper.

If the patient needs dependable dual therapy and the caregiver needs a system that is straightforward to operate and maintain, the 5000DX is a strong, well-rounded choice.
