OpalAir Turn
Lateral rotation therapy with alternating pressure and low air loss
The OpalAir Turn prevents and manages skin injuries through lateral rotation therapy combined with alternating pressure and true low air loss. It is designed to effortlessly and gently reposition individuals throughout the night, and is particularly suited for clients with moisture issues. Features high airflow for moisture reduction and optimal positioning.

What Clinicians Are Saying
“Our caregivers appreciate how simple it is to operate the OpalAir Turn. It allows us to reposition patients with minimal effort, reducing strain on staff and improving patient outcomes. We’ve seen a noticeable improvement in the healing of existing pressure injuries, and families appreciate the added level of care.”
Briana
OT Educator, Fraser Health
“We've been using the OpalAir Turn for several months, and the impact on our patient care has been remarkable. The Lateral Rotation Therapy has made repositioning easier for caregivers, while the Alternating Pressure Therapy ensures optimal pressure relief for our high-risk residents. It's intuitive, dependable, and a valuable addition to any LTC setting.”
Caroline
LTC OT, Ontario
“We recently had a patient with existing pressure injuries, and the OpalAir Turn played a crucial role in their healing. The combination of Alternating Pressure Therapy and gentle repositioning helped accelerate recovery while keeping them comfortable. This surface a must-have for facilities focused on high-quality patient care.”

Director of Care, LTC in BC
Clinical Features
Alternating Pressure Therapy
1-in-3 air cells gently inflate and deflate to enhance pressure redistribution and promote blood flow to high-risk tissues allowing greater oxygenation and healing. 'SmoothCell' technology facilitates gentle cell movement and ensures clients remain stable and unaffected by the surface movement.
True Low Air Loss Therapy
Continuous high air flow controls microclimate (temperature and humidity) suitable to promote wound healing.
Auto-Detect Technology
Auto-Detect technology automatically calibrates optimal pressure based on bodyweight and surface area. This improves the efficiency of set-up, reducing the need for on-going caregiver adjustments.
Lateral Rotation Therapy
The lateral rotation functions (Left Turn, Full Turn or Right Turn) can be used with Alternate, Pulsate or CLP (static) modes.
Other Clinical Features
Auto-Fowler
Automatic increase of air to the sacral/pelvic area when the bedhead is raised, to reduce risk of bottoming-out and ensure protection for high-risk bony areas.
HeelOffload
Four lower-profile cells at the heel section allow deeper immersion of the bony prominences — reducing peak pressure and the risk of heel pressure injuries.
Bariatric Mode
Boosts pump output to maintain proper support and comfort for heavier clients.
8" Surface Depth
Designed for use with homecare and hospital beds and side rails.
StaticPillow
Motionless head section to promote head and neck positioning and reduce potential disturbance to the client.
SmoothCell
Cells alternate slowly and keep clients at a level height, remaining stable and unaffected by surface movement.
EasyCover
Cover easily removed for cleaning/disinfecting and can be laundered. Ease of cleaning ensures infection protection.
Low Noise Pump
Quiet pump decreases irritation and promotes a desirable sleep environment.
Auto-Firm
Inflates cells to maximum for caregiver management; auto-returns to therapy mode after 20 minutes.
Therapeutic Modes
Alternating Pressure Therapy
1-in-3 air cells gently inflate and deflate to safely offload pressure while maintaining body contact. SmoothCell design reduces shear and friction.
Pulsate Therapy
Promotes increased capillary blood flow, enhancing circulation and oxygenation delivery to compromised tissues for wound healing.
Constant Low Pressure (CLP)
Air cells maintain lower pressure for greater body immersion — promotes pressure redistribution and reduction of peak pressures. For frail, palliative, or hypersensitive clients unable to tolerate cell movement.
