Span America | PressureGuard Protocol | Mattress System, Pressure Redistribution, Microclimate Management, and Patient Safety
At Alto Med Supply, we offer the Span-America PressureGuard® Protocol® Mattress System, an advanced therapeutic support surface designed to enhance patient comfort, safety, and caregiver efficiency.
This innovative mattress system combines pressure redistribution technology with microclimate management, helping to reduce the risk of pressure injuries while supporting skin integrity.
Its proprietary air delivery cover circulates air gently to control moisture.
The integrated air and foam design delivers consistent performance across care settings, including acute care, long-term care, and rehabilitation environments.
The PressureGuard® Protocol® Mattress System features multiple therapy modes, including subtle alternating pressure, powered flotation, and an auto-firm setting for added stability.
Its quiet, energy-efficient control unit generates less heat and maintains inflation even during power outages or transport.
Raised perimeter models provide an extra layer of safety by encouraging patients to stay centered on the bed.
The system comes complete with the mattress, control unit, and a machine-washable coverlet, providing a comprehensive and easy-to-use solution for hospitals, nursing facilities, and home care.
With its thoughtful design and reliable performance, the Span-America PressureGuard® Protocol® Mattress System is a versatile, high-quality option for caregivers seeking effective pressure injury management and enhanced patient safety.
