Lateral Rotation Air Therapy

The PressureGuard Turn Select provides easily customizable lateral rotation 24 hours a day. By slowly, gently and quietly repositioning the user, the Turn Select facilitates treatment of pressure ulcers while helping to offset the hazards of immobility.

Hand-held pendant control allows convenient programming of the system`s four operating modes. Caregivers can select a standard turning program, or create a pattern fully customized to the patient's condition.

Select Roll Angles of 5, 15, orup to30 degrees.

Select Roll Patterns in any combination of left, center and right.

Select Dwell Times of 1, 15, 30, 60 or 120 minutes in any position or angle.

Microprocessor controlled motion system is integrated directly into mattress, leaving no bulky pump or external air lines to contend with. Just hour after hour of whisper-quiet, trouble free operation. Even during power loss, the system maintains proper inflation and support until power is restored and rotation can be resumed.

Other features include CPR mode, program lock-out, and CPR alarm. Includes patented Geo-Matt® anti-shearing top surface, exclusive Heel Slope™ feature, and Safety Edge™ stability bolster system found in all PressureGuard models.

Low-air-loss Therapy with Alternating Pressure

Best performance. None of the compromises.

Clinicians choose low air loss systems to address maceration, the weakening of the skin due to excess moisture.

The new PressureGuard Easy Air is independently documented to outperform every leading low air loss system in this key performance area.

Remarkably, it does so with none of the compromises low air loss users have come to accept, thanks to its exclusive patented Air Diffusion Matrix technology and patented PressureGuard air/foam design.

Easy Air won't lose inflation in a power outage. Its stable surface won't "swallow up" the user. And its Safety Edge™ won't collapse like air-only mattresses can, making transfers safer. It won't make the user too hot or too cold, either.

Ultra-simple to set up, clean and use. Dial sets the comfort level. "On/off" buttons control air flow and alternating pressure feature.

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.

Whether ordered with Deluxe or standard control unit, the APM2 delivers all the patented features that make our original PressureGuard APM stand out from the pack: Therapeutic Geo-Matt anti-shearing top surface; two-part Safety Edge™; smooth, subtle shifts in weightbearing in ten-minute cycles without sharp pressure drop-offs.

Alternating Pressure Air Therapy

Unlike other alternating pressure mattresses, the PressureGuard APM won't create extreme pressure gradients between inflated and deflated cylinders.

On top, the Geo-Matt anti-shearing surface forms a comfortable, therapeutic interface between the air system and the user. It absorbs and smoothes sharp pressure drop-offs that other surfaces can't, while the air system does the "heavy lifting" below, alternating weightbearing across the surface in ten-minute cycles. Other standard PressureGuard features include the exclusive Heel Slope taper, and two-part Safety-Edge bolster system for added stability when sitting or transferring.
