SPAN PressureGuard APM2
Span America PressureGuard APM2 Mattress with Digital Control Unit is designed to deliver advanced pressure management, enhanced user comfort, and reliable clinical performance for individuals at risk of skin breakdown or requiring therapeutic support. Built on more than a decade of proven effectiveness, this system combines alternating pressure and lateral rotation therapies with an upgraded cover and streamlined digital controls. Its unique combination of air and foam technologies helps reduce shear, improve immersion and envelopment, and promote healthier sleep positioning. The result is a versatile, dependable support surface that enhances caregiver efficiency while prioritizing user safety, stability, and long term skin integrity.
The APM2 has been an industry-leading air therapy solution for more than a decade, based in large part on its documented superiority vs. typical, roll-up treatment surfaces¹. An upgraded cover design and control unit now provide even greater immersion, envelopment, shear reduction, treatment flexibility, caregiver ergonomics and user comfort.
Features:
- Two therapy modes, including alternating pressure and lateral rotation, selectable with a simple recessed toggle
- Digital multi functional control unit with adjustable comfort settings and selectable audible alarms
- Auto Firm mode holds firmness for twenty minutes to support transfers, ADLs, and CPR
- Proven head to foot air cylinder orientation for optimized pressure redistribution
- Geo Matt segmented top surface with more than 800 cells to reduce shear and support skin and tissue health
- Shear Transfer Zone cover with bi directional stretch fabric and silicone coated bands for enhanced shear reduction
- Safety Edge design improves stability, reduces fall risk, and helps guide the user toward the center of the mattress
- Durable LifeSpan fabric cover is antimicrobial, cleanable, and resistant to chemical breakdown
- Float mode offers powered flotation therapy for improved immersion and comfort
- Indicator lights for low pressure and power failure provide at a glance system status
Alternating Pressure or Lateral Rotation at the Flip of a Switch
Now with Shear Transfer Zones® and Digital Control Unit.
With its two distinct therapy modes, the PressureGuard® APM² gives you twice the treatment options. Twice the flexibility. Twice the value. And now enhanced cover and control unit features as well.
The cover’s enhanced features include the unique design of the anti-microbial bi-directional stretch cover made with Span’s superior LifeSpan® fabric. LifeSpan® is extremely durable and cleanable and delivers outstanding resistance to chemical breakdown caused by bleach and other harsh disinfectants with its polycarbonate-fortified coating. Change instantly and easily from alternating pressure to basic lateral rotation with a single, recessed toggle switch. Requires no disconnecting or exchanging of air lines.
The dependable digital control unit is lightweight and quiet. The easy-to-use, white multi-functional control unit provides simple, indexed comfort adjustment and a selectable audible alarm. A timed (20 minute) “Auto Firm” mode facilitates caregiving activities such as transfers, ADLs and CPR and then returns to its previously selected mode.. “Alternate Mode” changes loading in a 10-minute cycle of either alternating pressure or lateral rotation therapy as selected at the mattress. “Float” mode provides powered flotation therapy.
Indicator lights for “Low pressure” and “Power Failure” give users assurance-at-a-glance of proper function.
Shear Transfer Zones:
- Creates shear-minimizing bands beneath heels, sacrum and scapula
- Helps “glide” user to original position following gatching
- Provides overall stability while offsetting friction
- Polycarbonate-fortified, cleanable LifeSpan® cover
Geo matt Style Foam Topper:
- 2" deep topper reduces shear to underlying tissues
- More than 800 individually-articulating cells
- Redistributes pressure, reduces heat and skin moisture buildup
- Heel Slope™ designed to further reduce heel pressure
PressureGuard Design:
- Head-to-foot air cylinders for better pressure reduction
- Better support in seat area when head of bed is raised
- Individual foam cells accommodate bony prominences
Safety Edge Design:
- Patented inner bolster “cradling effect” for user safety
- Unmatched edge-of-bed stability
- Helps ensure safer transfers
- Minimizes risk of falls and entrapment
