Engineered with industry-leading technology and thoughtful design, this mattress system offers unparalleled comfort, safety, and therapeutic effectiveness. Perfect for nurses, hospitals, and healthcare facilities, the PressureGuard® Bariatric APM ensures excellent outcomes for patients requiring advanced pressure management and support.
Why Choose the SPAN PressureGuard APM Bariatric?
Unlike traditional alternating pressure mattresses, the PressureGuard® Bariatric APM eliminates extreme pressure gradients, ensuring a more comfortable experience for patients. The six-cylinder system alternates weight-bearing in a “two down, four up” inflation pattern, distributing pressure effectively. Combined with the Geo-Matt® top surface, it reduces shearing, pressure, heat, and moisture buildup.

Built for patients weighing up to 750 lbs, this durable system is specially crafted to meet the unique challenges of bariatric care, including aggressive treatment through Stage IV pressure injuries. Its customizable firmness and powered flotation mode ensure maximum comfort and safety for immobile or high-risk patients.
