PressureGuard Easy Air Mattress by Span America

Product Overview

Clinicians choose low air loss systems to address maceration, the weakening of the skin due to excess moisture.Ê The new PressureGuard Easy Air is independently documented to outperform every leading low air loss system in this key performance area. Remarkably, it does so with none of the compromises low air loss users have come to accept, thanks to its exclusive Air Diffusion Matrix technology and PressureGuard air/foam design. Easy Air 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.Ê Ultra-simple to set up, clean and use. Dial sets the comfort level. "On/off" buttons control air flow and alternating pressure feature.

Features

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.Ê 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.

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.

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.Ê The filters on the control unit need to be cleaned regularly.

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,Ê Unlike the purple removable coverlet, it is intended to remain on the mattress at all times.

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."

The exclusive Geo-Matt style foam topper is a high density, medical grade foam.Ê 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.
