Span America | UltraMax Stretcher Mattress | Premium Pressure Redistribution Surface for Shear Protection and Patient Comfort
At Alto Med Supply, we offer the Span America UltraMax™ for Stretchers, a premium pressure redistribution support surface designed to enhance patient comfort, support, and continuity of care during transport and treatment.
Engineered with advanced Ultra High Performance UHP 500™ foam, this stretcher mattress delivers exceptional resiliency and recovery in high-fatigue areas while helping reduce pressure points and improve overall patient positioning.
The UltraMax™ stretcher surface is precision engineered to provide the comfort typically associated with a full-sized hospital bed.
Its innovative 3-Dimensional Zoning™ design delivers anatomically calibrated support and immersion across the entire surface, while the extra-soft heel section offers additional heel protection for vulnerable areas.
The advanced Geo-Matt® segmented top surface creates individually articulating cells that help minimize shearing and improve pressure redistribution, while Ring-of-Air® channels assist with heat and moisture dissipation to support a cooler, drier patient environment.
Designed for durability and infection control, the fluid-resistant, antimicrobial, tear-resistant cover is made with Span America’s premium LifeSpan® fabric.
This bi-directional stretch cover is engineered to withstand frequent cleaning and resist chemical breakdown from bleach and other harsh disinfectants commonly used in healthcare settings.
The Shear Transfer Zone® cover design incorporates silicone-coated fabric bands underneath the cover to help reduce micro shear, macro shear, and rotational shear forces that can contribute to skin breakdown.
For added safety and stability, the UltraMax™ features a durable non-slip bottom with dual anchoring hook attachment strips that securely fasten the mattress to a variety of stretcher models.
Computerized pressure mapping confirms superior pressure redistribution and low peak pressure performance, helping healthcare facilities provide enhanced patient protection and comfort throughout transport and recovery.
The Span America UltraMax™ for Stretchers is an ideal solution for hospitals, emergency departments, surgical centers, and healthcare facilities seeking a high-performance stretcher mattress with advanced pressure management, shear reduction, and long-lasting durability.
