Span America pressureguard custom care convertible low-air-loss mattress

Span America pressureguard custom care Convertible LAL pressure redistribution surface is designed to help clinicians provide user care on flat deck frame facility wide. Custom care convertible low-air-loss surface offers Span-America’s low-air-loss therapy design for maceration control. A leading wound care journal documented its unmatched performance in the removal of excess moisture within the microclimate.

Span-America’s exclusive Low-air-loss technologySpan America pressureguard custom care convertible LAL air delivery system features Span-America’s exclusive non-collapsible “Air Diffusion Matrix”, which maximizes removal of excess moisture from the user’s skin without the inherent compromises often found in typical low air loss surfaces. Moisture passes in vapor form down through the coverlet, where the continuous incoming air current within the unique “Air Diffusion Matrix” takes it away before it can re-form as liquid. Custom Care Convertible models, easily convert to a powered surface with the simple addition of a control unit.

Custom care convertible can be equipped with 8400 powered control unit which instantly provide capability for alternating pressure and lateral rotation, offering greater treatment flexibility. Convertible is Medicare approved E0373 (Group II) (Without control unit) E0277 (Group II) (With control unit). All models of PressureGuard are conformed from NFPA 101 (Life safety code) for flammability.
