PressureGuard CFT® Bariatric Air Mattress

Span America pressureguard CFT bariatric mattress uses patented constant force technology to automatically adjust the mattress's network of interconnected air cylinders and elasticized reservoirs to the appropriate, therapeutic levels for each patient regardless of their weight or position on the surface. PressureGuard CFT heavy duty mattress provides a clinically effective solution for prevention and treatment.

Cover: The bacteriostatic top fabric is fire resistant, fluidproof, tear resistant, cleanable, and replaceable. The pleated design allows full integration with the mattress’s Geo-Matt style shear-relieving surface while minimizing hammocking.

Foam Topper: The exclusive Geo-Matt® style foam topper is a high density, medical grade foam. The unique geometric design consists of over 800 individual cells, each of which acts individually to redistribute pressure, to reduce heat and moisture buildup on the skin, and to reduce shear to underlying tissues. This foam topper is 2" in height and includes the unique Heel Slope™ feature, designed to further reduce pressure for the sensitive heel area.

Safety Edge™ Bolsters: The Safety Edge™ consists of a firm 2-part foam bolster whose inner edge contours under pressure to direct the patient towards the center of the mattress. This adds to patient stability in sitting and lying down, and helps prevent falls and entrapment between the siderail and the mattress.

Air Cylinders and Reservoirs: Four individual, interconnected air cylinders and two elasticized reservoirs that automatically customize pressure distribution to the individual patient. (Note: Bariatric models of 42", 48", and 54" widths have 6-8 cylinders, and 3-4reservoirs.) Air flows among the cylinders in response to the weight of the body to equalize pressure throughout the system, provide a constant, uniform distribution of safe pressures beneath the patient, and prevent bottoming out.

Maintenance Access Ports: Easy access ports to use with air system renewal kit. Assures proper air pressures are maintained.
