Why Choose Span America Bariatric Bed Mattress?

• Moisture Control:
  There is no universally accepted definition of "low air loss" (LAL) in medical literature. As a result, claims are made that "true" or "genuine" low air loss is defined by construction features such as air flow volume, cover fabric, or air loss method. But clinicians primarily prescribe LAL for its unique ability to minimize maceration and heat build-up by removing excess moisture. Therefore, quantifying the amount of moisture it removes is the most meaningful validation of LAL system's effectiveness. Head-to-head testing done in conjunction with a major university verifies that the PressureGuard Easy Air surpasses all leading competitors in this key performance criterion.

• Safety and Skin Integrity:
  Patented "Air/Foam" integration Exceeds pressure management performance of air-only systems. Patented "Safety Edge" ensures safer transfers while minimizing the risk of falls and patient entrapment. Patented Geo-Matt Design Creates unique, anti-shearing surface with 800 individually responsive cells. Patented Heel Slope Redistributes load to calves while providing complete foot support.

• Simplicity:
  "Air flow" control (On or Off) independent of "Therapy Mode" (Alternating or Static). Separation of Comfort and Air Flow controls allow adjustability for comfort with no adverse effect on moisture removal. Does not deflate during power outage. Simple comfort level selector. Fast, easy set-up and transport. Wipes clean.
