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.
- Minimized shearing through Geo-Matt® surface geometry and Shear Transfer Zones® on bi-directional stretch cover
- Minimized risk of falls and bed entrapment through Safety Edge™ bolster design
- Flexible treatment modalities, including alternating pressure and lateral rotationEasy-to-use ruggedized one-piece quiet control unit with quick connect-to-mattress port
A Therapy-ready surface for every bed
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.
LifeSpan® Fabric
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.
Proven PressureGuard® Design
- Head-to-foot air cylinder orientation optimizes pressure redistribution
- Better support in seat area when head of bed is raised
- Geo-Matt® segmented top surface enhances skin and tissue integrity
- Air and foam work together to maximize comfort, promoting better rest and recovery
Safety Edge™ Design
- Helps minimize the risk of falls and bed entrapment
- Unmatched edge-of-bed stability
- Helps ensure safer transfers for patients and caregivers
- Gently encourages user toward center of bed
Geo-Matt® Top Surface
- Segmented top layer reduces shear to underlying tissues
- More than 800 individually-articulating cells
- Redistributes pressure, reduces heat and skin moisture buildup
Shear Transfer Zone® Cover Design
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® Custom Care® Convertible Recessed Deck Model
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.
