SPAN PressureGuard APM2

The APM2 has been an industry-leading air therapy solution for more than a decade, based in large part on its documented superiority vs. typical, roll-up treatment surfaces¹.  An upgraded cover design and control unit now provide even greater immersion, envelopment, shear reduction, treatment flexibility, caregiver ergonomics and user comfort.

Alternating Pressure and Lateral Rotation in one surface

Alternating Pressure or Lateral Rotation at the Flip of a Switch!   Now with Shear Transfer Zones® and Digital Control Unit.

With its two distinct therapy modes, the PressureGuard® APM² gives you twice the treatment options. Twice the flexibility. Twice the value.  And now enhanced cover and control unit features 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 with its polycarbonate-fortified coating. Change instantly and easily from alternating pressure to basic lateral rotation with a single, recessed toggle switch. Requires no disconnecting or exchanging of air lines.

The dependable digital control unit is lightweight and quiet.  The easy-to-use, white multi-functional control unit provides simple, indexed comfort adjustment and a selectable audible alarm.  A timed (20 minute) “Auto Firm” mode facilitates caregiving activities such as transfers, ADLs and CPR and then returns to its previously selected mode.. “Alternate Mode” changes loading in a 10-minute cycle of either alternating pressure or lateral rotation therapy as selected at the mattress.  “Float” mode provides powered flotation therapy. 

Indicator lights for “Low pressure” and “Power Failure” give users assurance-at-a-glance of proper function.
