Span America pressureguard custom care convertible mattress comes in two types non-powered and powered. Custom care convertible mattress feature the innovative Star Chamber system engineered with air support cylinders that are constantly filled with air – whether or not the surface is powered. PressureGuard surfaces outperformed traditional powered surfaces in wound healing for Stage IV ulcers. PressureGuard custom care air cylinders has body-length orientation which provides greater air displacement and better weight distribution than typical side-to-side cylinder configurations even in non- powered state.
PressureGuard offers the cross-connected elasticized reservoirs which absorb peaks to mimic powered flotation. Custom care convertible has 6500 add-on powered control units which instantly provide capability for alternating pressure and lateral rotation, offering greater treatment flexibility. Convertible is Medicare approved E0373 (Group II) (without control unit) E0277 (Group II) (with control unit). All models of PressureGuard are conformed from NFPA 101 (Life Safety Code) for flammability

Shear induced tissue trauma:
Under the downward pressure of the user’s weight, tissue is compressed in the vertical plane beneath the bony prominences, trapping the skin. As the body moves, mechanical shearing forces are generated along the horizontal plan, causing damage deep within the tissue
Vulnerable bony prominences:
Without effective shear-reducing intervention, the skin and deep tissues are vulnerable to shear induced trauma at the scapula, sacrum and heels. This is intensified when the head of bed is elevated, pushing the user toward the foot of the bed
Rotational Shear:
Even, rotational shear, caused when the user is pivoted from the lying to sitting position or vice versa is minimized by Shear Transfer Zones® technology
LifeSpan® Fortified Healthcare Fabric:
The cover’s enhanced features include the unique design of the anti-microbial bi-directional stretch cover made with Span’s superior LifeSpan® fabric.
LifeSpan® is extremely durable and cleanable and delivers outstanding resistance to chemical breakdown caused by bleach and other harsh disinfectants with its polycarbonate-fortified coating.
The recessed deck versions of selected Span surfaces, including the Custom Care Convertible, brings our advanced technology to recessed deck beds.Our engineers have developed a version of the Custom Care Convertible surface to accommodate the unique design requirements of recessed deck beds. V-shaped edges enable the mattress to fit the recessed deck bedframe, while the compressible section accommodates multiple lengths and foot positions.
Patented design creates an inner bolster “cradle” effect for added safety when the patient sits on or moves toward the bed edge. This protective feature helps direct the patient’s center of gravity safely back toward the center of the bed. Two sturdy fabric handles improve relocation ergonomics.
