PressureGuard Custom Care Convertible Mattress by Span America
The PressureGuard Custom Care Convertible Mattress is by Span America designed to provide advanced pressure relief for any bed. It can easily convert from a non-powered to a powered therapy surface by adding a control unit, saving money on expensive rentals. Even without power, its unique Star Chamber air support system continuously redistributes weight to reduce pressure, offering better support than traditional designs. This mattress system an support up to 500lbs.
This innovative system also enhances the effectiveness of powered therapy when activated. Proven in studies to support faster wound healing, this next-generation mattress delivers reliable care for preventing and treating pressure injuries.

Proven PressureGuard Design: Support and Skin Protection
The PressureGuard design combines innovative features to optimize pressure relief and enhance patient care. The head-to-foot air cylinder orientation improves pressure redistribution and provides better support in the seat area when the head of the bed is elevated. The Geo-Matt segmented top surface further protects skin and tissue integrity by reducing shear and pressure. By blending air and foam, this design delivers superior support that promotes better rest and faster recovery for patients at risk of pressure injuries.

LifeSpan Fabric: Durable and Easy-to-Clean Protection
The LifeSpan fabric cover is designed with advanced features to enhance durability and hygiene. This bi-directional stretch, anti-microbial material offers exceptional resistance to chemical breakdown, even when exposed to bleach and harsh disinfectants. Its long-lasting performance ensures reliable protection, making it ideal for maintaining cleanliness and preventing damage in demanding care environments.

Safety Edge Design: Enhanced Stability and Fall Prevention
The Safety Edge design minimizes the risk of falls and bed entrapment by providing unmatched edge stability. It ensures safer transfers for both patients and caregivers, reducing the chance of accidents during bed entry or exit. Additionally, the gently sloped edges encourage the user toward the center of the bed, promoting a secure and stable sleeping environment.

Geo-Matt Top Surface: Advanced Pressure Relief and Skin Protection
The Geo-Matt top surface features a segmented design with over 800 individually-articulating cells that work together to reduce shear on underlying tissues. This innovative layer redistributes pressure effectively, minimizing the risk of pressure injuries. It also helps reduce heat and moisture buildup, promoting a healthier and more comfortable environment for the skin.

PressureGuard Custom Care Convertible Recessed Deck Model
The recessed deck version of the PressureGuard Custom Care Convertible brings advanced technology to specialized recessed deck beds. The V-shaped edges ensure the mattress fits securely into the recessed frame, while the compressible section allows for flexibility with different foot positions and bed lengths.
Designed with added safety in mind, the inner bolster creates a “cradle” effect that helps guide the patient’s center of gravity back toward the center of the bed, even when they move toward the edge. Two durable fabric handles make it easier to relocate the mattress, enhancing overall ergonomics and patient safety.
