Special Extra Care Bed

This is a bed that for some patients will help them to enter and exit from the foot of the bed. This saves a lot of time and work trying to manage a patient of this size.

 

 

 

 

There are many different bed choices depending upon the manufacturer.

 

Mattresses

 

A special mattress designed for Facilities, Long Term Care and Sleep Centers that has a weight capacity of 750 lbs or 1000 lbs and is constructed so that the mattress is comfortable for any weight patient. A very special mattress.

Powerful Results - Without Power! Sound impossible? With a standard static air system, it is, but the PressureGuard CFT is truly different. It uses patented Constant Force Technology™ to automatically adjust the mattress's network of interconnected air cylinders and elasticized reservoirs to the appropriate, therapeutic levels for each patient, regardless of their weight or position on the surface. Delivers customized pressure reduction comparable to low air loss, while providing patient with a stable surface to maximize functional ability and maintain safe positions.

 

 

This patented support surface design was developed by Span-America in the late 1980’s in conjunction with Dr. Thomas Krouskop of the Baylor School of Medicine.  Computer-guided equipment is used to cut foam into a geometric pattern of supportive cubes that are undercut with an open channel. Unlike flat or convoluted ("egg crate") foam, these individual cubes allow the surface to conform to the body and accommodate bony prominences, redistributing pressure across the support surface. This minimizes the pulling of the skin and tissue over bony prominences, thereby offsetting the harmful effects of shearing forces. The “Ring of Air” helps to disperse heat and moisture away from the body and out into the atmosphere. The channel also assists in pressure management by providing, in effect, a layer of air between two layers of foam to enhance conformance of the foam to the body.

Next Generation-Power Alternating Pressure or Lateral Rotation at the Flip of A Switch! With its two distinct therapy modes, the PressureGuard APM2 gives you twice the treatment options. Twice the flexibility. Twice the value.

 

 

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.

 

 

 

And, when ordered with the new Deluxe control unit, the APM2 offers even more value. The “Static” button parks the unit in powered flotation mode, temporarily suspending rotation/alternating pressure to facilitate feeding, transfers, dressing changes, etc. The "Low Pressure" indicator light gives users at-a-glance assurance of proper function.
