PressureGuard Easy Air LR Mattress by Span America

Product Overview

Start with the popular PressureGuard Easy Air, the low-air-loss surface independently documented to outperform every leading low air loss system in moisture removal. Add the alternating pressure and lateral rotation modalities found in the effective PressureGuard APM2. The result: The most versatile, multi-modality surface on the market. Remarkably, it does so with none of the compromises low air loss users have come to accept, thanks to its exclusive Air Diffusion Matrix technonolgy and PressureGuard air/foam design.Easy Air LR won't lose inflation in a power outage. Its stable surface won't "swallow up" the user. And its Safety Edge won't collapse like air-only mattresses can, making transfers safer. It won't make the user too hot or too cold, either. Ultra-simple to set up, clean and use. Comfort level is adjustable. "On/off" buttons control air flow and alternating pressure/lateral rotation/ float feature.

Features

Coverlet and Inner Air-Delivery Cover:The purple-colored coverlet is fluid proof, cleanable and flame resistant. It is highly vapor permeable and fluid-proof. Its unique crush-proof air diffusion matrix fabric is bacteriostatic and maintains a pathway for air flow, even under patient weight. The greenish gray air-delivery 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.

Safety Edge Bolsters: 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. This adds to patient stability in sitting and lying down, and helps prevent falls and entrapment between the siderail and the mattress.

Foam Shell- Geo-Matt topper: The exclusive 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.

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.

Alternating Pressure/Lateral Rotation: The air cylinders perform the alternating pressure therapy and the lateral rotation therapy. Cylinders inflate and deflate in a fixed 10-minute cycle. 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.
