In 2025, the global production volume of Vacuum Immobilisation Mattresses reached 180,000 units, with an average selling price of US$720 per unit, production capacity of 240,000 units, and a gross margin of 32.0%.

A Vacuum Immobilisation Mattress is an emergency medical device used for full-body immobilisation and safe transportation of trauma patients. It generally consists of a sealed flexible outer cover, internal polystyrene beads, a vacuum valve, securing straps, and carrying handles. Before air extraction, the mattress conforms to the patient’s body contours. Once the internal air is removed, the beads are compressed together and the mattress becomes rigid, restricting movement of the torso, spine, pelvis, and limbs and reducing the risk of secondary injury during transportation. The product is primarily used in pre-hospital emergency care, ambulance transportation, air medical rescue, firefighting, and disaster-response operations. Depending on the intended patient group, load capacity, and dimensions, products can be divided into adult, pediatric, universal, and bariatric models.

The upstream industry chain mainly includes polyvinyl chloride, thermoplastic polyurethane or polyester-coated fabrics, polystyrene beads, nylon webbing, engineering-plastic buckles, vacuum valves, connecting hoses, sewing threads, and sealing adhesives. The abrasion resistance, airtightness, flame resistance, and cleaning and disinfection performance of the outer material, together with the uniformity of the internal beads, directly affect immobilisation performance and product service life. Midstream manufacturers undertake structural design, fabric cutting, high-frequency welding or heat sealing, bead filling, valve and strap assembly, airtightness testing, load testing, and medical-device quality management. Downstream customers mainly include emergency medical service centers, hospital emergency departments, ambulance operators, fire and rescue departments, military medical units, air medical service providers, and disaster-response organizations. Products are generally supplied through government and hospital tenders, medical-device distributors, specialized emergency-equipment suppliers, and direct sales by manufacturers.
