Span America PressureGuard® Protocol™

The mattress has air delivery cover design supplies a gentle flow of air directly to the underside of its highly vapor permeable coverlet, carrying away excess moisture vapor to help protect vulnerable skin. Protocol’s efficient control unit generates substantially less heat and noise than traditional high-output low air loss blowers while consuming less power. PressureGuard Protocol with raised edges provides an extra measure of safety by keeping the user away from the edges. The 9″ raised edge on the sides of the mattress keeps users from rolling to the edge of the bed.

PressureGuard® APM

Alternating Pressure Air Therapy 
Unlike other alternating pressure mattresses, the PressureGuard® APM won’t create extreme pressure gradients between inflated and deflated cylinders.
On top, the Geo-Matt® anti-shearing surface forms a comfortable, therapeutic interface between the air system and the user. It absorbs and smooths sharp pressure drop-offs that other surfaces can’t, while the air system does the “heavy lifting” below, alternating weightbearing across the surface in ten-minute cycles. Other standard PressureGuard® features include the exclusive Heel Slope™ taper, and two-part Safety-Edge bolster system for added stability when sitting or transferring.
Weight limit: 350 lbs.
Mattress weight: 20 lbs.
Pump: 5.25 lbs. UL listed.
Warranty:  18 months non-prorated.
The PressureGuard® APM is recognized for reimbursement under Medicare Code: E0277.
