Span America | Pressure Guard Span-Care® Convertible Air Therapy Mattress | Pressure Injury Prevention and Stage 1-4 Treatment
At Alto Med Supply, we offer the Span America PressureGuard Span-Care® Convertible Air Therapy Mattress, a versatile and clinically effective solution designed to simplify care while improving patient outcomes.
This advanced support surface provides non-powered reactive air pressure redistribution for consistent comfort and protection, with the option to easily convert to a powered air therapy system using a user-friendly control unit.
Built with an innovative air-to-foam internal design, this mattress functions as both a high-performance static foam surface and a dynamic powered system, allowing caregivers to quickly adapt to changing patient needs.
It helps reduce pressure and shear, making it ideal for patients at high risk of skin breakdown as well as those requiring treatment for Stage 1 through Stage 4 pressure injuries.
The PressureGuard Span-Care® Convertible is a dependable choice for healthcare facilities seeking flexibility, durability, and ease of use in one support surface.
By combining convenience with advanced pressure redistribution technology, it supports better care delivery without adding complexity for caregivers.
