SPAN PressureGuard Custom Care Convertible
Span America Pressureguard Custom Care Convertible Mattress is a versatile, advanced pressure redistribution solution designed to provide superior comfort, safety, and clinical efficacy for patients at risk of pressure injuries. Engineered for both non-powered and powered configurations, this mattress integrates the innovative Star Chamber system, featuring body-length air cylinders that deliver consistent support and exceptional weight distribution. Its convertible design allows healthcare providers to add a powered control unit for alternating pressure and lateral rotation therapy, offering flexible treatment options without the need for multiple surfaces. Durable, Medicare-approved, and compatible with flat and recessed deck beds, the Custom Care Convertible Mattress ensures optimal patient care across a variety of clinical settings.
Features:
- Convertible Design: Easily converts from non-powered to powered surface with optional control unit for alternating pressure and lateral rotation.
- Star Chamber System: Body-length air cylinders provide superior weight distribution and pressure relief, outperforming traditional side-to-side cylinder systems.
- Shear and Pressure Management: Shear Transfer Zones® minimize rotational shear at vulnerable bony prominences, including sacrum, heels, and scapula.
- Durable, Cleanable Cover: LifeSpan® Fortified Healthcare Fabric offers anti-microbial protection, chemical resistance, and bi-directional stretch for patient safety and long-term use.
- Recessed Deck Compatibility: V-shaped edges and compressible sections allow seamless fit for recessed deck beds, enhancing patient safety with inner bolster “cradle” effect.
- Therapy Flexibility: Push-button control unit enables alternating pressure, lateral rotation, and timed auto-firm therapy modes.
- Geo-Matt® Style Foam Topper: Individual foam cells reduce shear and accommodate bony prominences, while Heel Slope design shifts load to more shear-tolerant areas.
A Therapy-ready surface for every bed:
Flexibility has been designed into this next generation PressureGuard series. Both Custom Care Convertible models, easily convert to a powered surface with the simple addition of a control unit – an approach that can save significantly on the need for costly rentals.
- One-piece quiet control unit
- Quick connect-to-mattress port
- Push-button therapy selection
- Alternating pressure, lateral rotation and timed auto-firm
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.
PressureGuard® Custom Care® Convertible Recessed Deck Model:

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.
