Protekt Pressure Redistribution Mattresses
Proactive's Protekt Aire series of low air loss and alternating pressure mattress systems, including the Protekt Aire 3500 and Protekt Aire 8000 Bariatric system, are designed to reduce the risk of pressure injuries for long-term bedridden patients. The Protekt 500 Gel Infused Foam Mattress and Protekt 600 Bariatric Pressure Redistribution Foam Mattress offer foam-based alternatives, and the Protekt Serenity Gel Overlay adds a support surface layer for existing beds. Replacement covers and pump units are also available to extend the life of existing Protekt Aire systems.
Patient Lifts and Slings
The Protekt Take-A-Long Folding Electric Patient Lift offers powered, portable lifting for caregivers assisting with transfers. Proactive offers a range of slings to match, including Mesh Full Body Slings with Commode Opening and Sit-to-Stand Transfer Slings in solid nylon, supporting different transfer needs and patient positions.
Bathroom Safety and Daily Living Aids
Proactive Medical's daily-living and safety products include the Protekt Wedge Rail Guard, a wedge-shaped bed rail gap filler that helps prevent entrapment injuries, along with bathroom safety equipment such as raised toilet seats, bedside commodes, shower chairs, and transfer benches. The Protekt Deluxe Rechargeable Handheld Pulse Oximeter supports routine monitoring in both clinical and home settings.
Why Choose Proactive Medical Products
Proactive Medical designs equipment for clinical performance and caregiver efficiency, with durable frames, easy-clean materials, and reliable, low-maintenance components. From wheelchairs and transport chairs to pressure redistribution mattresses and patient lifts, the brand's product range is built to meet the demanding standards of hospitals, nursing homes, and home-health care.
Choosing the Right Proactive Medical Product
For everyday mobility, choose a Chariot wheelchair sized to the patient's needs, or a Steel Rollator for ambulatory support. For short-distance transfers, the Protekt Astra Transport Chair offers a lightweight option. Patients at risk of pressure injuries benefit from a Protekt Aire alternating pressure system or Protekt gel and foam mattress, while caregivers handling frequent transfers should consider the Take-A-Long Folding Electric Patient Lift paired with the appropriate sling type.
