The PressureGuard APM2 Safety Supreme Mattress from Span America is a specialized mattress designed to prevent falls and improve skin integrity for individuals at risk of pressure ulcers or dangerous falls. The mattress safely prompts the user away from the edge of the bed, reducing the risk of side-rail entrapment. It is also designed to reduce the need for restraints, promoting comfort and safety without restricting movement. A perimeter of Geo-Mattress foam helps maintain skin integrity while providing ample support.
The mattress offers a choice of lateral rotation or alternating pressure therapy to redistribute pressure, reducing the risk of skin breakdown. Its float mode provides powered flotation therapy, enhancing comfort by relieving pressure points. The auto-firm mode is useful for patient transfers, activities of daily living (ADLs), and CPR, allowing the mattress to firm up when necessary. A 2 deep topper helps reduce shear forces on the skin, and the mattress features over 800 individually articulating cells that provide targeted pressure relief.
The mattress's heel slope further minimizes pressure on vulnerable heel areas. Additionally, head-to-foot air cylinders improve pressure reduction and provide better support when the head of the bed is raised. The individual foam cells are designed to accommodate bony prominences, ensuring comfort and effective pressure relief. With a weight limit of 350 lbs., this mattress weighs 20 lbs., and comes with an 18-month non-prorated warranty for all components.
