Span-America offers a full line of
powered and non-powered support surfaces
and overlays to address both Treatment
and Prevention of pressure ulcers. Our
PressureGuard® and Geo-Mattress®
mattresses, and our varied line of
Geo-Matt® and Delta foam overlays and
traditional air mattresses give the
clinician the needed options in
addressing integrity of the skin and
deep tissues.


Geo-Mattress Series
PressureGuard APM2 with
Deluxe Pump

1 Cover
The
bacteriostatic top fabric is fire resistant, fluidproof, tear
resistant, cleanable, and replaceable. The pleated desi gn
allows full integration with the mattress’s Geo-Matt style
shear-relieving surface while minimizing hammocking.
2 Foam Topper
The patented
Geo-Matt® style foam topper is a high density, medical grade foam.
The unique geometric design consists of over 800 individual cells,
each of which acts individually to redistribute pressure, to reduce
heat and moisture buildup on the skin, and to reduce shear to
underlying tissues. This foam topper is 2" in height and includes
the unique Heel Slope™ feature, designed to further reduce pressure
for the sensitive heel area.
3 Safety
Edge Bolsters
Unique raised
perimeter Wings® design combines with the patented Safety Edge™
bolster system to encourage the patient toward the mattress and away
from entrapment or falls. Lowered, padded opening makes transfers
easier and safer for user and caregiver. The Safety Edge consists of
a firm 2-part foam bolster whose inner edge contours under pressure
to direct the patient towards the center of the mattress.
4 Air
Cylinders
The inflation
system consists of four urethane air cylinders that run head to foot
underneath the body and the foam topper. These cylinders perform the
Lateral Rotation Therapy. Inflation/deflation cycles are set but the
hand-held control pendant.
5 Micro-Processor
Motion Systems
Uniquely built
into the side of the mattress, the micro-processor controls air
pressures within the air cylinders, and is programmed by the hand-held
pendant.
6 Hand-Held
Control Pendant
Offers
convenient way for caregiver or patient to program the motion
system.

1 Outer
Removable Coverlet
The
purple-colored coverlet is fluid proof, cleanable and flame
resistant. It is highly vapor permeable (4500 grams/meter2/24
hours) and fluid-proof. Both of its fabrics (smooth top fabric
and the crush-proof air diffusion matrix fabric) are
bacteriostatic and maintain a pathway for air flow, even under
patient weight. Coverlet can be routinely wiped clean and
disinfected in place, or can be removed and machine laundered
according to owner’s manual.
2 Inner
Air-Delivery Cover
The
greenish gray, multi-layered cover supplies air to the
microenvironment between the cover and coverlet while
serving as a barrier to protect the inside of the mattress
from both fluids and vapors, Unlike the purple removable
coverlet, it is intended to remain on the mattress at all
times.
3 Air
Cylinders
The
inflation system consists of four air cylinders that run
lengthwise underneath the body. Unlike standard low air loss
systems, the Easy Air does not lose air from the inflation
system for "low air loss", and can be programmed to perform
either “flotation” or “alternating pressure.”
4 Foam
Shell – Geo-Matt topper
The
patented Geo-Matt® style foam topper is a high density, medical
grade foam. The unique geometric design consists of over 800
individual cells, each of which acts individually to customize
patient comfort, support, and pressure reduction and
redistribution. This foam topper is 2" in height and includes
the unique Heel Slope™ feature, designed to further reduce
pressure for the sensitive heel area.
5 Safety
Edge™ Bolsters
The
patented Safety Edge™ consists of a firm 2-part foam bolster
whose inner edge contours under pressure to direct the patient
towards the center of the mattress. This adds to patient
stability in sitting and lying down, and helps prevent falls and
entrapment between the siderail and the mattress.
6 Control
Unit
The quiet,
energy efficient control unit houses both a high volume air
blower and a lower volume air pump. The blower component
provides air for the low air loss function through the cover/coverlet,
while the pump component provides air to the air-cylinder
inflation system. The filters on the control unit need to be
cleaned regularly.

towards the center of the mattress. This adds to patient
stability in sitting and lying down, and helps prevent falls and
entrapment between the siderail and the mattress.
4 Air
Cylinders
The
inflation system consists of four urethane air cylinders in
standard models, six in the APM Bariatric, that run head to foot
underneath the body and the foam topper. These cylinders perform
the alternating pressure therapy, and the lateral rotation
therapy in the APM2 models. Cylinders inflate and deflate in a
fixed 10-minute cycle or selectable cycle on the Bariatric
Model The cycles and inflation levels are designed to provide
and maintain low interface pressures throughout the mattress,
and to redistribute peak interface pressure points during the
alternating cycle.

6 Toggle
Switch
The toggle
switch changes modalities from “Alternating Pressure” to “Lateral
Rotation.” The switch is located under a velcroed fabric flap on the
side of the mattress at the foot end, as illustrated.
Control Unit
Model 5800 –
Comfort Dial on the Control Unit changes pressures inside the
cylinders within a small but perceptible range. This gives the
patient some control over firmness, without compromising pressure
redistribution or causing bottoming out. Static button evenly
inflates all air cylinders for stability during care or transfers.
Low pressure indicator assists in function and maintenance.

1 GeoMatt
cut foam top
The
patented Geo-Matt® style foam topper is a high density, medical
grade foam. The unique geometric design consists of over 800
individual cells, each of which acts individually to
redistribute pressure, to reduce heat and moisture buildup on
the skin, and to reduce shear to underlying tissues. This foam
overlay is 3.5” in height.
2 Upper
head section and lower foot section
Cells are
smaller at the head and foot section to disperse pressure over
these sensitive areas.
3 Body
section
Cells are
larger to provide pressure dispersion over the torso.
4 Inset of
Geo-Matt close-up
The
patented Ring-of-Air performs several functions. It allows each
cell to act individually to conform to the body. It assists in
removing heat and moisture from the body by channeling heat and
vapor away. And it reduces shearing by allowing the individual
cells to move independently, reducing pull on the skin.
Optional
Cover (see below)
The
bacteriostatic top fabric is fire resistant, fluidproof, tear

Delta Pediatric Overlays
Surfaces>Prevention>Overlays>Delta
The middle
layer of the Delta overlay has a series of unique, 5-sided cutsthatallow
the body to immerse intothe pad, while presenting a flat
surface to the patient. Thisflat surface may assist in
eliminatingbreathing interference whenthe patient lies prone
on the surface.
The Delta
is proven inpediatric settings (see study at right), and is
designed to alleviate the head and scapular pressuresthat often
arise because infants' heads are large and babies tend to lie on
their backs for long periods of time. Delta provides low
interface pressures over thehead and body of the infant.Delta
overlays are safe, non-toxic, heat-resistant and comfortable.
Outstanding specialty surface for patietns less than70 lbs.
Convoluted Foam Overlays

Our
convoluted comfort overlays are made from high-quality,
combustion modified polyurethane foam. Available in a wide range
of
peak and base
heights and foam densities to address
different levels of surface discomfort. All pads are 72"L x
34"W, and are compression rolled for efficient storage.
Note:
Convoluted overlays are considered effective as a comfort
measure only. Consult with your Span-America representative for
help in selecting the pressure management support surface most
effective for your patients' needs.
