A mattress or another type of support surface which allows for discrete manipulation of the pressure on a supported body. The present invention includes resilient fluid cells having a spring bias, grouped to allow adjustable dynamic control of the pressure exerted on various locations of the body support. Each of the fluid cells has a multiple port air distribution system, either integral to the fluid cell or attached to the fluid cell. The multiple port air distribution system includes ports and allows for the control of intake flow, outflow, and sound. A harnessing system is attached to the ports of the multiple port air distribution system and interconnects the fluid cells in a pattern desired by the user. The harnessing system controls the directions and flow volume of air into the fluid cells creating selected zones. The harnessing configuration is customizable to a particular patient. The fluid cells are held together by a casing. The casing supports, houses, and prevents movement of the fluid cells and the harnessing system.

L'invention concerne un matelas ou autre type de surface de support qui permet de faire varier discrètement la pression sur un corps supporté. La présente invention fait appel à des cellules de fluide élastiques présentant une sollicitation par ressort, groupées pour permettre la commande dynamique réglable de la pression exercée sur divers endroits du support de corps. Chacune des cellules de fluide présente un système de distribution d'air à ports multiples, formé solidaire par construction avec la cellule de fluide ou fixé à la cellule de fluide. Le système de distribution d'air à ports multiples comprend des ports et permet de commander le débit entrant, le débit sortant et le son. Un système de harnachement est fixé aux ports du système de distribution d'air à ports multiples et relie les cellules de fluide entre elles selon une configuration souhaité par l'utilisateur. Le système de harnachement commande les directions et le volume de débit d'air dans les cellules de fluide créant des zones sélectionnées. La configuration du harnachement est personnalisable pour un patient particulier. Les cellules de fluide sont maintenues ensemble par une enveloppe. L'enveloppe supporte, loge et empêche le déplacement des cellules de fluide et du système de harnachement.
