PressureGuard APM2 Deluxe Alternating Pressure Mattress: Advanced Air Therapy for Enhanced Comfort and Care

The PressureGuard APM2 Deluxe Alternating Pressure Mattress for hospital beds is renowned for its advanced air therapy technology, delivering effective pressure relief and comfort for patients in medical and home settings for over a decade. With a newly upgraded cover design and control unit, this mattress offers enhanced immersion, envelopment, shear reduction, and flexibility in treatment, significantly improving caregiver ergonomics and user comfort.

Configurable Design:

• Geo-Matt Foam Topper: Features a high-density, medical-grade foam with over 800 individual cells designed to redistribute pressure, reduce moisture and heat buildup on the skin, and minimize shear to underlying tissues. Includes the HeelSlope feature for reduced heel pressure.
• Safety Edge Bolsters: A firm two-part foam bolster contours under pressure to direct the patient towards the center, enhancing stability and preventing falls.
• Air Cylinder System: Equipped with four urethane air cylinders that provide alternating pressure and lateral rotation therapy, designed to optimize pressure redistribution and comfort.

Robust and User-Friendly Features:

• Durable Cover: The mattress cover is bacteriostatic, fire-, fluid-, and tear-resistant, easily cleanable, and replaceable.
• Digital Control Unit: Offers indexed comfort adjustment, selectable audible alarms, and a 20-minute “Auto Firm” mode for transfers and caregiving activities.
• Versatile Therapy Options: Easily switch between alternating pressure and basic lateral rotation with a recessed toggle switch, enhancing therapeutic flexibility without the need to disconnect or exchange air lines.

Benefits of an Alternating Air Mattress: An alternating pressure mattress, such as the PressureGuard APM2, provides periodic relief to body pressure points by inflating and deflating air cells, thereby enhancing circulation and reducing the risk of pressure ulcers. These mattresses are particularly beneficial for bedridden patients, as they offer continuous pressure relief across all parts of the body without causing disturbance during sleep.
