Span-America’s PressureGuard® Protocol® provides caregivers an unmatched combination of microclimate management, pressure redistribution, ease of use and patient/caregiver safety.
- Available raised perimeter models add an extra measure of safety by helping to prompt the user away from edge of bed
Microclimate Management with Alternating Pressure Therapy
Protocol’s proprietary air delivery cover design supplies a gentle flow of air directly to the underside of its highly vapor permeable coverlet, carrying away excess moisture vapor to help protect vulnerable skin. Thanks to its innovative design, the Protocol’s efficient control unit generates substantially less heat and noise than traditional high-output low air loss blowers while consuming less power.
Caregivers can select subtle alternating pressure or powered flotation treatment modes. Auto firm mode provides additional surface stability for ADLs, transfers, and feeding when desired, then automatically resumes the selected treatment mode after 20 minutes. Unlike typical roll-up surfaces, Protocol can maintain its inflation in a power outage or during transport. System includes mattress, control unit and machine washable coverlet.
Microclimate Management with Air Diffusion Matrix ™
Three-dimensional liner helps ensure uninterrupted air flow in both cover and coverlet.
Outer Coverlet
- Highly vapor-permeable
- Superior air flow
- Wipes clean in place with standard hospital-grade cleaners
- Zippered, machine-launderable (air dry)
Inner Air Delivery Cover
- Dedicated air supply
- Directs constant stream of air
- Sweeps away moisture vapor before it can re-form as liquid
- Reduces maceration
Proven PressureGuard® Design
- Head-to-foot air cylinder orientation optimizes pressure redistribution
- Better support in seat area when head of bed is raised
- Geo-Matt® segmented top surface enhances skin and tissue integrity
- Air and foam work together to maximize comfort, promoting better rest and recovery
Safety Edge™ Design
- Helps minimize the risk of falls and bed entrapment
- Unmatched edge-of-bed stability
- Helps ensure safer transfers for patients and caregivers
- Gently encourages user toward center of bed
Quiet and Efficient
- Uses less power, generatesless noise and heat than typical systems
- Heavy-duty mounting hooks
