PressureGuard® Span-Care® Convertible Mattress

Span America Pressureguard Span-Care convertible mattress has self-adjusting system of synchronized air cylinders and pressure relief valves that provides the correct level of immersion and envelopment for any user. Span-Care convertible air therapy surface is engineered to empower busy caregivers with an ideal blend of high-end performance and trouble-free ease of use. In non-powered mode, use the Span-Care convertible for pressure injury prevention in at-risk patients, early intervention of existing pressure injuries, or when a step-down surface is called for.

Add the simple, digital control unit (optional) when powered treatment modalities are necessary. Adjustable comfort settings, audible low pressure alarm and a timed auto-firm mode ensure maximum usability. In either mode, the Span-Care convertible delivers an unmatched combination of extreme patient comfort, crucial safety and stability, proven pressure management and maintenance-free reliability.

The cover’s enhanced features include the unique design of the anti-microbial bi-directional stretch cover made with Span’s superior LifeSpan® fabric. LifeSpan® is extremely durable and cleanable and delivers outstanding resistance to chemical breakdown caused by bleach and other harsh disinfectants with its polycarbonate-fortified coating.
