Performance, comfort and flexibility – with or without power!

In non-powered mode, use the Span-Care convertible for pressure injury prevention in at-risk patients, early intervention of existing pressure injuries, or when a step-down surface is called for. Its self-adjusting system of synchronized air cylinders and pressure relief valves provide the correct level of immersion and envelopment for any user.

Add the simple, digital control unit when powered treatment modalities are necessary. Adjustable comfort settings, audible low pressure alarm and a timed auto-firm mode ensure maximum usability. In either mode, the Span-Care convertible delivers an unmatched combination of extreme patient comfort, crucial safety and stability, proven pressure management and maintenance-free reliability.

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:

  • Prevent heels, sacrum, and scapula from “digging into” surface
  • Glide” user back to original position following HOB elevation
  • Protect against damaging effects of micro shear, macro shear, and rotational (pivot-induced) shear
  • Provide patient stability by transferring shear to more shear-tolerant anchor points

PressureGuard® Span-Care® Convertible Recessed Deck Model

The recessed deck versions of selected Span surfaces, including the Span-Care Convertible, brings our advanced technology to recessed deck beds.

Our engineers have developed a version of the Span-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.
