The SPAN PressureGuard® Protocol® is a cutting-edge mattress system that sets new standards in comfort and functionality. At its core, the Protocol® utilizes a proprietary air delivery cover design that directs a gentle flow of air to the underside of its highly vapor-permeable coverlet. This innovative feature effectively manages the microclimate, wicking away excess moisture to maintain optimal conditions.
The system's control unit is a marvel of engineering efficiency. It operates with significantly reduced noise and heat output compared to traditional high-output low air loss blowers, all while consuming less power. This makes the Protocol® an ideal choice for environments where quiet operation and energy efficiency are paramount.
Versatility is a key feature of the Protocol®. Users can select between subtle alternating pressure and powered flotation modes, tailoring the surface to specific needs. The auto firm mode is a standout feature, providing additional surface stability for various activities. This mode automatically reverts to the selected treatment mode after 20 minutes, ensuring consistent care.
The Protocol® distinguishes itself with its ability to maintain inflation during power outages or transport, a feature not commonly found in typical roll-up surfaces. This ensures continuous functionality in various situations.
The mattress is equipped with a Geo-Matt® style foam topper, featuring segmentation for a tissue-friendly, non-shearing top surface. The Protective Heel Slope design redistributes pressure effectively. Safety is further enhanced by the unmatched edge-of-bed stability, minimizing risks associated with transfers.
Available in multiple sizes (75", 80", and 84" lengths, with 35" and 42" width options), the Protocol® system includes a mattress, control unit, and machine-washable coverlet, offering a complete solution for diverse requirements.
