PressureGuard® Span-Care® Convertible Mattress: Advanced Pressure Relief With or Without Power

When caring for a loved one at home or managing long-term recovery, choosing the right hospital bed mattress can make a significant difference in comfort, safety, and skin protection. The PressureGuard® Span-Care® Convertible Mattress offers a unique solution that sets it apart from many pressure-relief mattresses on the market: it delivers effective therapeutic pressure redistribution both with and without electrical power.

For caregivers, families, and healthcare professionals, this flexibility provides peace of mind, improved patient comfort, and long-term value.

What Makes the PressureGuard Span-Care Convertible Different?

Many therapeutic air mattresses rely entirely on a powered pump system. If the power is disconnected, the therapeutic benefits may be reduced.

The PressureGuard Span-Care Convertible takes a different approach. In its non-powered mode, the mattress uses a sophisticated system of self-adjusting air cylinders and pressure-relief valves that automatically adapt to the user's weight and positioning. This allows the mattress to provide pressure redistribution and immersion without requiring electricity.

When a patient's condition requires additional therapy, a simple digital control unit can be added to activate advanced treatment modes such as alternating pressure and powered flotation therapy.

This unique convertible design helps protect your investment by providing both everyday pressure management and advanced therapeutic capabilities in a single mattress.

Benefits of a Mattress That Works With or Without Power

Continuous Pressure Relief

Even when the control unit is not attached, the Span-Care Convertible continues to provide therapeutic pressure redistribution through its self-adjusting air system. This can help reduce the risk of pressure injuries and improve comfort for individuals spending extended periods in bed.

Protection During Power Outages

One of the biggest concerns with traditional powered air mattresses is loss of therapy during electrical outages. Because the Span-Care Convertible functions effectively in non-powered mode, patients continue receiving pressure redistribution even if power is interrupted.

Upgrade When Clinical Needs Change

Many patients begin with preventive pressure care but later require more advanced therapy. Rather than replacing the entire mattress, caregivers can simply add the control unit to unlock alternating pressure and powered flotation modes.

Reduced Long-Term Cost

Purchasing a mattress that can adapt to changing medical needs may help avoid future replacement costs. Families gain a support surface that can evolve alongside the patient's care requirements.

Ideal for Home Care and Long-Term Care Settings

The PressureGuard Span-Care Convertible is an excellent choice for:

  • Home hospital beds

  • Long-term care residents

  • Skilled nursing facilities

  • Assisted living environments

  • Rehabilitation patients

  • Individuals at risk for pressure injuries

  • Patients with existing pressure wounds requiring advanced support surface technology

The mattress is designed to help manage pressure, shear, and friction while promoting patient comfort and stability. Features such as enhanced edge support can also help improve transfer safety and reduce fall risks.

Why Pressure Redistribution Matters

Research consistently shows that reactive air and alternating-pressure support surfaces can help reduce the risk of pressure injuries compared with standard foam mattresses. Alternating-pressure systems may also provide additional clinical benefits for high-risk patients.

By combining both reactive air support and optional powered therapy, the Span-Care Convertible provides flexibility for a wide range of patient conditions and care environments.

Why Families Choose PressureGuard

PressureGuard support surfaces have earned a strong reputation among healthcare professionals because of their focus on patient safety, pressure management, and long-term reliability. Healthcare facilities throughout North America have trusted PressureGuard products for decades due to their proven performance and durability.

For families caring for a loved one at home, this same professional-grade technology is now available for residential use.
