PressureGuard Easy Air XL Mattress by Span America

Product Overview

The Easy Air low-air-loss design, documented best among leading low air loss systems is accessible to bariatric patients in the PressureGuard Easy Air XL. Low-air-loss skin maceration control - often critical in bariatric care- is coupled with the multiple advantages of the PressureGuard design. These technical innovations set the Easy Air XL apart among bariatric surfaces by effectively addressing the effects of pressure, shearing, friction, heat buildup, and maceration.

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. 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.

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

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.

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

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."

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

The Easy Air XL won't lose inflation in a power outage and its stable surface is designed not to "swallow up" the user.
