Embodiments of the present disclosure describe low air loss absorbent pad apparatuses and systems for use thereof in conjunction with contact pressure-mitigation support apparatuses and/or for use as a standalone devices. In some embodiments, the low air loss apparatuses disclosed herein can include a porous (e.g., perforated) absorbent pad with air loss functionality. One or more layers of the low air loss apparatus can be constructed of absorbent materials to function as a low air loss incontinence pad. The low air loss apparatus can be connectable to an air supply source that provides a high flow, low stream of air resulting in the low air loss features. In some embodiments, the pad is designed as a cover for a polyurethane alternating pressure support apparatus that provides pressure relief via inflatable air cells that are high-pressure, low-flow.
