Versatile pressure relief solution for tailored patient comfort and support. The Custom Care® Convertible series of pressure redistribution surfaces is designed to help clinicians provide excellent patient care on both flat deck and recessed deck frames, facility wide.
Dramatically reduce surface rental expenditures
Superior pressure redistribution and immersion
Add-on powered control unit provides alternating pressure and continuous lateral rotation modalities
Flexibility has been designed into this next generation PressureGuard series. Both Custom Care Convertible models, easily convert to a powered surface with the simple addition of a control unit – an approach that can save significantly on the need for costly rentals.
PressureGuard® Custom Care® Convertible surfaces represent the next generation of time-tested PressureGuard air therapy surfaces. In peer-reviewed studies, non-powered and powered PressureGuard surfaces outperformed traditional powered surfaces in wound healing through Stage.
Custom Care Convertible mattresses feature the innovative Star Chamber system engineered with air support cylinders that are constantly filled with air – whether or not the surface is powered. Even in their non-powered state, the air cylinders’ head-to-foot orientation provides greater air displacement and better weight distribution than typical side-to-side cylinder configurations, and the cross-connected elasticized reservoirs absorb peaks to mimic powered flotation. The Star Chamber design makes powered therapies more effective as well.
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.
Beyond its Geo-Matt® segmented top surface, an additional measure of shearing protection is provided by the silicone-coated, shear minimizing fabric bands located on the underside of its bi-directional stretch cover. This Shear Transfer Zone design helps:
The recessed deck versions of selected Span surfaces, including the Custom Care Convertible, brings our advanced technology to recessed deck beds.Our engineers have developed a version of the Custom Care Convertible 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.
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. Two sturdy fabric handles improve relocation ergonomics.

"I LOVE the mattress! I used it on a resident that we were having shearing issues with and it worked like a charm. She was pushing herself up in bed and her bottom was a mess and when we changed to the Custom Care Convertible mattress and she cleared up. I love the no pump needed but allows for the flexibility If I do need one. I would definitely love to have these mattresses in the facility!"
"I am writing this in reference regarding the PressureGuard Custom Care Convertible mattress from your company Span-America. This was our first experience with Span-America products when we trialed it on a hand full of patients. One patient in particular, a younger gentleman who is a quadriplegic, was trialed on the Customer Care convertible. This patient is challenged with severe decubiti on his coccyx area and had been on Hill Rom air mattress prior to this. The feedback I have received from him has been very positive and he is much more pleased with the comfort of this mattress vs. the Hill Rom. The wound clinic has also seen improvement in his wounds and has been pleased with the mattress as well.Thanks for all of your help."
"When our Inpatient Hospice facility was ready for new mattresses we purchased the Pressure Guard Custom Care Convertibles. The bed frames in the facility are larger than traditional hospital beds and Span-America made custom mattresses to fit the frames. Once the mattresses were in use we monitored for pressure ulcer incidence. We are very pleased that the incidence of pressure ulcers over that year was "zero". We have purchased several powered "pumps" that allow for additional alternating pressure or lateral rotation that are used when the patient's condition indicates."
