PressureGuard Bariatric APM Mattress System by Span America
The PressureGuard Bariatric APM by Span America provides advanced pressure management to enhance comfort and safety for your bariatric patients.
With a weight capacity of 750 lbs with a dimension of 80"L and available at 3 widths options of 42", 48", and 54" with the thickness of 7"H.
The segmented top minimizes sharp pressure drop-offs, while the air system below handles the heavy lifting, alternating weight-bearing across the surface at user-selectable intervals. The "two up, one down" inflation pattern ensures maximum support for your patients throughout the cycle, making it an ideal solution for your bariatric care needs.

Proven PressureGuard Design for Superior and Support
The Proven PressureGuard Design ensures optimal pressure redistribution with its head-to-foot air cylinder orientation, providing better support, especially in the seat area when the head of the bed is raised. The Geo-Matt segmented top surface enhances skin and tissue integrity by reducing pressure points and improving overall comfort. By combining air and foam, this design maximizes support, promoting better rest and aiding in recovery.

PressureGuard APM Patient Support and Safety
The Digital Control Unit offers key features for patient comfort and safety, including a “Float” mode for flotation therapy and a 20-minute Auto Firm mode. It has ten comfort settings and lets you choose cycle times of 20, 25, or 30 minutes. Safety features include a low-pressure indicator, power failure alert, audible alarm, and a Lockout mode to prevent changes.
