Span America | PressureGuard APM2 Alternating Pressure Mattress System | Advanced Air Therapy System for Pressure Injury Prevention & Patient Comfort
At Alto Med Supply, we offer the Span America PressureGuard APM2 Mattress System, an industry-leading alternating pressure air therapy solution designed to help prevent and manage pressure injuries while maximizing patient comfort.
Trusted in both home care and clinical environments for over a decade, this advanced mattress system stands out from traditional roll-up surfaces by delivering superior immersion, envelopment, and shear reduction to better protect skin integrity.
The PressureGuard APM2 is engineered to improve circulation and support effective repositioning through four head-to-foot air cylinders that provide two therapeutic modes.
Caregivers can easily select alternating pressure mode to promote blood flow through cyclic inflation and deflation, or lateral rotation mode to gently turn the user and reduce prolonged pressure.
Select models include a quiet, deluxe digital control unit with adjustable comfort settings, multiple therapy options, and a float mode for powered flotation, along with built-in power and low-pressure alarms for enhanced safety.
An upgraded cover design enhances both patient comfort and caregiver ease of use, while a fluid-proof, bacteriostatic surface helps maintain a cleaner, more hygienic environment.
Beneath the cover, the GeoMatt overlay features over 800 articulating cells that redistribute pressure and help reduce heat and moisture buildup.
The system also incorporates patented Shear Transfer Zone Technology, which uses silicone-coated bands in key areas such as the shoulders, sacrum, and heels to minimize friction and protect sensitive skin during movement.
Available in multiple sizes to accommodate various bed configurations, the Span America PressureGuard APM2 Mattress System provides a versatile, durable, and high-performance solution for effective pressure relief, improved patient outcomes, and dependable long-term care.
