PressureGuard APM Alternating Pressure Mattress by Span America

The PressureGuard APM by Span America combines advanced air therapy with innovative design for superior comfort and pressure relief. It minimizes extreme pressure differences between inflated and deflated cylinders, providing a smoother and more therapeutic experience. The Geo-Matt anti-shearing surface reduces sharp pressure drop-offs and protects the skin, making it ideal for patients at risk of pressure ulcers.

The air system alternates weight-bearing in ten-minute cycles to promote circulation and prevent tissue breakdown. Additional features include the Heel Slope taper to reduce pressure on sensitive heels and a two-part Safety-Edge bolster system for added stability during transfers and sitting. This mattress is perfect for individuals with limited mobility, extended bed rest, or a high risk of pressure injuries, offering both comfort and safety.

PressureGuard APM Alternating Pressure Mattress

Span APM Trusted PressureGuard Technology

The SPAN PressureGuard APM Alternating Pressure Mattress is designed to help prevent pressure sores and support recovery by reducing pressure on the body. Its head-to-foot air cylinder system spreads pressure evenly, reducing strain on sensitive areas and improving overall pressure redistribution. For users who spend time sitting up in bed, the mattress provides added support in the seat area, making it easier to stay in an upright position without added pressure. The Geo-Matt® top layer has a special segmented design that protects the skin, improves circulation, and reduces the risk of irritation.

Geo-Matt Top Surface: Skin Protection and Pressure Relief

The PressureGuard APM Geo-Matt top surface is designed to keep the skin healthier and more protected. Its special segmented layer, made up of over 800 individual cells, reduces friction and stress on the skin, which helps prevent damage to the deeper tissues. These cells also spread pressure evenly across the surface, reducing sore spots. Additionally, the design allows air to flow, helping to reduce heat and moisture buildup on the skin, which can cause irritation. This makes it easier for users to stay comfortable and protected, even during long periods of use.

PressureGuard APM Safety Edge Design: Improved User Safety and Support

The Safety Edge Design offers key benefits to users by providing extra protection and stability. It helps reduce the risk of falls and bed entrapment, so users can feel more secure while resting. The strong edges give added support, making it easier and safer to move in and out of bed. Additionally, the design gently guides users toward the center of the bed, helping maintain a comfortable and safe position. This feature ensures users stay better positioned, enhancing overall safety and minimizing the need for adjustments.

Control Unit: Simple Adjustments for Better Support

The Control Unit lets users easily adjust the mattress firmness with a comfort dial, giving the right support while still protecting against pressure sores. It has two modes: Alternate Mode, where the mattress inflates and deflates in an 8-minute cycle, and Float Mode, which keeps the surface steady. A visual low-pressure indicator shows when the mattress pressure needs adjustment, helping to maintain proper support for the user. This makes it easy to customize the mattress for comfort and safety.
