PressureGuard Protocol Mattress System: Microclimate Management with Alternating Pressure Therapy
The Span PressureGuard Protocol Mattress is a highly advanced solution for individuals requiring both microclimate management and alternating pressure therapy. Designed to protect vulnerable skin, its proprietary air delivery system provides a gentle airflow beneath a highly vapor-permeable coverlet, effectively reducing excess moisture to maintain a cool, dry environment. This innovative feature helps prevent skin breakdown and promotes comfort, making it ideal for patients at risk of pressure ulcers in hospitals, long-term care facilities, or home settings.
The PressureGuard Protocol Mattress by Span America is designed for your comfort and needs. It supports up to 500 lbs capacity and available with several range sizes.
Versatile Therapy Modes for Customized Care
Caregivers benefit from its versatile functionality, including selectable alternating pressure or powered flotation therapy modes, which can be tailored to individual patient needs. The Auto Firm mode enhances stability during activities such as transfers, feeding, or daily care, automatically resuming the selected therapy mode after 20 minutes.
How Protocol’s Design Enhances Comfort and Skin Protection
Bedridden or immobile patients often face discomfort and skin issues from moisture buildup under the mattress. Protocol’s air delivery cover design helps prevent this by gently circulating air under your breathable coverlet, keeping your skin dry and protected. This system ensures better moisture management and promotes healthier skin. Unlike traditional systems, Protocol’s control unit is quieter, cooler, and more energy-efficient, providing you with a more comfortable and soothing environment.
The PressureGuard Advantage
The Geo-Matt® segmentation offers a tissue-friendly, non-shearing top surface for added comfort, while the Safety Edge™ design ensures safer transfers and reduces the risk of falls and entrapment. Additionally, the Protective Heel Slope™ helps redistribute pressure away from vulnerable heels, providing enhanced protection and comfort.
