Focused low air loss therapy for continuous microclimate management — the Protekt Aire 6000 keeps the skin cooler and drier throughout extended bed rest without the added complexity of alternating pressure therapy.

The Protekt Aire 6000 is a dedicated low air loss mattress system designed for patients where heat and moisture management are the primary clinical concern. Rather than combining multiple therapy modes, it delivers consistent, focused airflow therapy — making it a straightforward, dependable choice when microclimate control is what matters most.

For patients whose skin breakdown risk is primarily driven by prolonged moisture exposure — perspiration, incontinence, or simply extended time in bed — a dedicated low air loss system like the 6000 addresses that risk directly and consistently, without the added variables of a multi-mode system.

Who Is This Mattress Best For?

• Patients at risk of skin breakdown primarily from heat and moisture accumulation
• Patients where low air loss therapy is the specific clinical recommendation
• Individuals who need consistent microclimate management throughout extended bed rest
• Home care, long-term care, and clinical environments where simplicity and reliability matter
• Caregivers looking for a focused airflow solution without multi-mode complexity

Key Features at a Glance

• Dedicated low air loss therapy for consistent airflow at the skin surface
• Reduces heat and moisture buildup that contributes to skin breakdown
• Powered air mattress system designed for extended bed rest
• Straightforward setup and operation — no complex multi-mode management
• Suitable for home care, long-term care, and clinical settings

Why Choose the 6000?

Not every patient needs alternating pressure therapy. For patients whose primary risk factor is moisture and heat rather than sustained pressure on bony prominences, a dedicated low air loss system is often the more appropriate — and more focused — solution. The 6000 delivers exactly that without adding modes or complexity that are not clinically necessary.

It is also a practical choice for care environments where simplicity of operation matters. A single-therapy system is easier for caregivers to set up, monitor, and maintain consistently — which contributes directly to better therapy adherence and outcomes.

If the patient also needs pressure redistribution alongside moisture management, a dual therapy system combining low air loss and alternating pressure — such as the Protekt Aire 4000DX — is worth considering. Not sure which is right? Call us at 866-218-0902 and we can help.
