  • Beyond its Geo-Matt segmented top surface, the UltraMax provides an additional measure of shearing protection in the form of the silicone-coated, shear minimizing fabric bands located on the underside of its bi-directional stretch cover.
  • This Shear Transfer Zone design helps:
  • Prevent heels, sacrum, and scapula from “digging into” surface
  • “Glide” user back to original position following HOB elevation
  • Protect against damaging effects of micro shear, macro shear, and rotational (pivot-induced) shear
  • Provide patient stability by transferring shear to more shear-tolerant anchor points
  • 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.
  • Geo-Mattress UltraMax Recessed Deck Model
  • The introduction of recessed deck versions of selected Span surfaces, including the Geo-Mattress UltraMax, brings our advanced technology to recessed deck beds.
  • Our engineers have developed a version of the Geo-Mattress UltraMax surface to accommodate the unique design requirements of recessed deck beds.
  • V-shaped edges enable the mattress to fit the recessed deck bedframe, while the compressible section accommodates multiple lengths and foot positions.
  • Patented design creates an inner bolster “cradle” effect for added safety when the patient sits on or moves toward the bed edge.
  • This protective feature helps direct the patient’s center of gravity safely back toward the center of the bed.

1811.PressureGuard Custom Care Convertible Series

  • Air is the star
  • The revolutionary part of the PressureGuard Custom Care Convertible and Convertible LAL surfaces starts deep within the surface, in the Star Chamber air cylinders.
  • Far more than foam-filled “air” systems, the Star Chamber design creates a true air system that is constantly filled with air – whether or not the surface is powered.
  • Air is a superior pressure redistribution and immersion medium
  • Cross-connected elasticized reservoirs absorb peaks to mimic powered flotation
  • Four body-length air cylinders provide greater air displacement and better weight distribution than typical side-to-side cylinder configurations
  • The points of the star-shaped core ensure maximum air volume
  • The closed air system requires no refilling or maintenance for 5 years
  • Air superiority
  • While they can be somewhat effective, foam-filled systems are limited by physics.
  • But true air therapy provides the pathway to dramatically improved outcomes.
  • It all starts with what’s on the inside.
  • Foam: a solid inhibits ideal pressure redistribution limits active therapies
  • A typical foam-filled “air” sector: is only 5% air by volume provides only 5% support from air derives 95% support from foam
  • Air: a fluid facilitates ideal pressure redistribution maximizes active therapies
  • A Star Chamber air cylinder: is 60% air by volume provides 92% support from air derives only 8% support from foam
