Pressureguard® Protocol™ Mattress

Span America PressureGuard® Protocol™ 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® Protocol™ system includes mattress, control unit and machine washable coverlet. Caregivers can select subtle alternating pressure or powered flotation treatment modes. Auto firm mode provides additional surface stability for ADLs, transfers, and feeding when desired, and then automatically resumes the selected treatment mode after 20 minutes. Unlike typical roll-up surfaces, Protocol can maintain its inflation in a power outage or during transport.

Effective-Proven active pressure redistribution and microclimate management.

Efficient-Patented “Air Diffusion Matrix™” design generates less noise, uses less power.

Exceptional-Unmatched combination of air therapy, safety, stability, comfort and ease of use.

Proprietary “Air Diffusion Matrix” offers direct delivery microclimate management (“low air loss”) for control of excess moisture.

Clinically proven PressureGuard integrated air system/engineered foam shell design for an ideal combination of immersion, envelopment, shearing reduction, active air therapy, fall prevention, comfort, stability, fast set-up and ease of cleaning.

Raised Perimeter models add an extra measure of safety by helping to prompt the user away from edge of bed.

Efficient system design generates substantially less noise and consumes less than half the power of many traditional, blower-based "roll-up" surfaces.

Alternating pressure mode gently changes loading across the surface in a 10-minute cycle.
“Float ” mode provides powered flotation therapy.
Simple comfort adjustment, including ultra-soft “Max. Immersion” setting for users under 120 lbs.
Selectable audible alarm and indicator light for low pressure notification.
Timed (30-minute) “Auto Firm” function for added stability during transfers, ADLs & CPR.
Can maintain inflation during power interruption and transport.
