The PressureGuard Protocol Mattress helps patients to feel more comfortable. The foam shell surrounds 4 air cylinders that, when working together, are clinically proven to help reduce the risk of pressure ulcers. The therapeutic surface features a safety edge. The safety edge helps to reduce patient falls during transfers as well as helping to eliminate patients rolling out of the bed.
The dynamic air therapies create an alternating pressure alongside a powered flotation. The PressureGuard Protocol Therapeutic Surface is also featured with a gentle heel slope. The heel slope is a unique feature that helps offload the lower legs and heels, thus preventing pressure sores. This therapeutic surface also helps to manage microclimate, for a more hygienic use, given that it has heat management inside to prevent sweating and tearing of the skin.
The PressureGuard Protocol is a therapeutic surface, which just means that since it requires an air pump to use, it is assumed it is being fitted for an electric hospital bed. These are some of the only therapeutic surfaces that contain foam rollers that go from top to bottom, length wise, while others are features side to side, width wise. This makes it easier to ship as it will be shipped just as a box spring mattress would, as it just rolls up.
