Pressureguard CFT Mattress Features

• Span America CFT Air Therapy Mattress has a safety edge that prevents the edge of the bed from collapsing under the user during transfers
• Self-adjusting air therapy provides appropriate, therapeutic support levels regardless of user weight or position 
• Delivers customized pressure reduction comparable to low air loss, while providing patient with a stable surface to maximize functional ability and maintain safe positions.
• Four air cylinders and two elasticized reservoirs automatically customize patient pressure distribution
• Air flow provides a constant, uniform distribution of safe pressure beneath the patient
• Foam topper has unique geometric design consists of over 800 individual cells that redistribute pressure, to reduce heat and moisture buildup on the skin, and to reduce shear to underlying tissues
• 2" deep topper reduces shear to underlying tissues
• Heel Slope design reduce pressure for the sensitive heel area
• 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
• Geo-matt segmented top surface limits friction and shearing, two key risk factors that increase when obesity impedes in-bed mobility and proper transfers
• Head-to-foot air cylinders for better pressure reduction
• Better support in seat area when head of bed is raised
• Individual foam cells accommodate bony prominences
• Patented inner bolster ’cradling effect’ for user safety
• Unmatched edge-of-bed stability
• Helps ensure safer transfers
• Minimizes risk of falls and entrapment
• Mattress weight: 21 lb

Indications Of Using Pressureguard CFT Mattress:

• Treatment of any stage pressure ulcers 
• Prevention of skin breakdown in the high risk or severely compromised patient 
• Patient can be positioned off the ulcer in at least 2 positions
• History of previously healed pressure ulcers 
• Can be repositioned frequently 
• Poorly padded bony prominences

• This item cannot be returned or exchanged once they are opened due to hygienic reasons

What is Constant Force Technology?

A method of equalizing pressure over the surface of the body by means of interconnected air-filled tubes that shift air from tubes under more pressure to tubes under less pressure. This allows greater immersion of the body into the mattress, which decreases pressures under any single point, and distributes pressures over as great an area as possible.
