Adaptive support surface system honored by MedTech Breakthrough for improving patient outcomes and simplifying clinical workflows
Minneapolis, MN, May 7, 2026 – Agiliti, a leading manufacturer and provider of medical device solutions to the U.S. healthcare industry, today announced that its Adapt Line™ has been named “Best New Therapeutic Technology Solution” in the 10th annual MedTech Breakthrough Awards.
The Adapt Line™ is setting a new standard in pressure injury (PI) prevention and skin integrity management—addressing one of healthcare’s most persistent patient safety challenges, impacting nearly 3 million U.S. patients each year. Clinically engineered to help reduce the incidence and severity of pressure injuries while supporting faster healing and improved outcomes, the Adapt Line delivers a differentiated approach to patient safety and recovery.
Featuring Adapt Air Pro™, Adapt Air™, and Adapt Convertible™, the Adapt Line redefines therapeutic support surfaces through a platform-based design engineered for both clinical performance and operational efficiency. Each surface integrates proprietary pressure redistribution, targeted microclimate management, and advanced materials to deliver deeper immersion, continuous airflow, and long-term durability. All powered surfaces are driven by a single interoperable console—standardizing therapy delivery, reducing total cost of ownership, and eliminating the need for clinician training across multiple systems. This unified design enables seamless care across all levels of acuity, combining clinical sophistication with simplicity at the bedside.
In a recent clinical study of 84 critically ill patients, 100% of clinicians surveyed (n=66) recommended Adapt Air Pro for its ease of use and effectiveness in managing pressure distribution and microclimate—reinforcing its role in advancing pressure injury prevention.
“At Agiliti, we design and manufacture solutions that help improve patient outcomes and caregiver experience,” said Tom Leonard, CEO of Agiliti. “Recognition of the Adapt Line underscores our commitment to delivering clinically differentiated technologies that address critical challenges in healthcare.”
Key features of Adapt Line include:
- Adapt Pump™: A quiet, easy-to-use pump, interoperable across all Adapt Line surfaces, maintains inflation during transport and offers up to eight levels of customizable support settings.
- Next-Gen Microclimate Management: A proprietary top cover, AirSpace™ mesh, and the Adapt Pump delivers continuous, Targeted Airflow™ to help manage heat and moisture at the interface between the patient and surface.
- Expandable Capacity[1]: Patented technology enables expansion from 35” to 48” width, 82” to 86” length, and supports up to 1,000 lbs., accommodating a wide range of patient needs.
- Vertical Cell Technology: Adapt Air Pro features twenty 8-inch air cells with vertical cell technology to maximize immersion and envelopment while delivering two clinically-effective pressure redistribution therapies – achieving up to 37% more immersion compared to other leading surfaces.
- Proprietary CoreShield®: An RF-welded polyurethane liner (Adapt Convertible) that enhances durability, extends product life and protects internal components with an added waterproof barrier.
“The Adapt Line goes beyond delivering advanced therapy, transforming complex technology into tangible improvements for preventable PIs,” said Steve Johansson, managing director of MedTech Breakthrough. “By merging adaptability, therapy precision, and durability into one cohesive surface, Agiliti’s technology scales across patient needs, reduces hospital-acquired PIs, and elevates the therapeutic standard for modern healthcare systems.”
