Egmented top reduces sharp pressure drop-offs, while air system below handles the “heavy lifting,” alternating weight bearing across the surface in user-selectable intervals. “Two up, one down” inflation pattern ensures maximum patient support throughout the cycle.

The revolutionary PressureGuard CFT’s patented Constant Force Technology TM automatically adjusts a network of interconnected air cylinders and elasticized reservoirs to the appropriate, therapeutic level, regardless of the user’s weight or position. And now the CFT is the only advanced, non-powered system of its kind to be recognized for reimbursement as a Group II support surface, based on head- to head studies in which it outperformed leading powered systems in ulcer healing. The CFT is ultra-cost effective. Requires virtually no set-up, programming, or maintenance. Wipes clean. Generates no noise or heat and uses no electricity, making it immune to power interruptions. Use it in-facility to slash rental costs, increase user satisfaction, and improve regulatory compliance on issues from skin care to bed safety. Or, select it as a trouble-free but supremely effective option for at-home users.
Slowly, gently, and quietly repositions the user at angles up to 30 degrees, with dwell times as short as 1 minute and as long as 2 hours. Hand-held pendant allows convenient programming of the system’s four operating modes. Provides caregiver the flexibility to select a standard turning program, or to create a pattern fully customized to the patient’s condition. Ultra-compact, microprocessor controlled pump is integrated directly into the mattress, leaving no bulky pump or external airlines to contend with. Just hour after hour of whisper quiet, trouble-free operation. Maintains proper inflation and support during power loss until power is restored and rotation can be resumed. Includes CPR mode (provides an extra-firm surface for performing CPR with a crash board), program lockout, and CPR alarm.
With its two distinct therapy modes, the PressureGuard APM 2 gives you twice the treatment options. Twice the flexibility. Twice the value. Change instantly and easily from alternating pressure to basic lateral rotation with a single, recessed toggle switch. Requires no disconnecting or exchanging of airlines.
Clinicians choose low air loss systems to address “maceration”, the weakening of the skin due to excess moisture. The new PressureGuard Easy Air is independently documented to outperform every leading low air loss system in this key performance area. Remarkably, it does so with none of the compromises low air loss prescribers have come to accept, thanks to its exclusive “Air Diffusion Matrix” technology (patent pending) and patented PressureGuard air/foam design. Easy Air won’t lose inflation in a power outage. Its stable surface won’t “swallow up” the user. And its Safety Edge TM won't collapse, making transfers safer. Won’t make the user too hot or too cold, either. Ultra-simple to set up, clean and use. Dial sets the comfort level. "On/Off” buttons control air flow and alternating pressure feature. System includes mattress, controller unit and machine washable coverlet.
No matter how effective, typical all-foam mattress replacements share one common characteristic: their first day is their best day. While typical mattresses may continue to deliver acceptable pressure dispersion throughout their life, the orthopedic support they offer – especially at the lower back – inevitably degrades over time. But the PressureGuard Renew is different. Unlike all-foam and innerspring mattress replacements, fatigue won't rob it of its support and comfort over time. Like-New Suppor.t
