Span America | PressureGuard APM Alternating Pressure Mattress for Advanced Pressure Relief and Patient Comfort
At Alto Med Supply, we offer the Span America PressureGuard APM, an advanced alternating pressure mattress designed to provide exceptional patient comfort, safety, and pressure redistribution.
Ideal for healthcare facilities, rehabilitation environments, and home care settings, this therapeutic support surface combines innovative air therapy technology with proven PressureGuard® features to help create a comfortable and supportive healing environment.
The PressureGuard APM utilizes gentle alternating pressure therapy with ten-minute cycles that help redistribute weight without creating the extreme pressure changes often associated with traditional alternating pressure mattresses.
Its powered flotation mode works alongside the unique Geo-Matt® anti-shearing surface to help reduce friction and shear while providing a comfortable interface between the patient and the mattress.
This combination promotes comfort and support during extended periods of bed rest.
Designed with both patient protection and caregiver convenience in mind, the PressureGuard APM features the exclusive Heel Slope™ taper to help reduce pressure on the heels and a two-part Safety-Edge bolster system that enhances stability during sitting, repositioning, and transfers.
Easy to operate and engineered for reliable performance, this alternating pressure air mattress is an excellent solution for those seeking advanced pressure relief and enhanced patient support.
