The Right Electric Home Care Equipment.
Geo-Mattress with Wings®
Cover
The bacteriostatic top fabric is fire resistant, fluidproof, tear resistant, cleanable, and replaceable. The pleated design allows full integration with the mattress’s Geo-Matt style shear-relieving surface while minimizing hammocking.GeoMatt Cut Foam Top
The patented Geo-Matt® style foam topper is a high density, medical grade foam. The unique geometric design consists of over 800 individual cells, each of which acts individually to redistribute pressure, to reduce heat and moisture buildup on the skin, and to reduce shear to underlying tissues. This 2” foam topper includes the unique Heel Slope™ feature, designed to further reduce pressure for the sensitive heel area.Core
Geo-Matt top surface and entire mattress are made of single density and ILD, high quality foam for excellent clinical performance and value.Raised Perimeter Edges
Stable, high-density side bolster with angled top surface forms a firm base for the Geo-Matt top that covers the mattress top side to side. The bolster and the angled top helps to encourage patients to stay in bed and discourage rolling or unattended bed exits. The raised edge minimizes gaps between the bedrail and the mattress, limiting the risk of entrapment.Heel Slope
Heel slope reduces pressure on heels with a subtle taper design that redistributes pressure onto the more load-tolerant calves.
Added Safety -- Without Compromise
The supportive, raised perimeter (8" high) of our Geo-Mattress with Wings
cradles the resident, helping prevent injury by discouraging independent
exits from bed and gently urging user away from danger positions near
the edge of the mattress. Fills in the space between the bottom of the
side rail and the mattress surface, helping to prevent impingement of
extremities. All while helping your facility comply with the latest
restraint reduction legislation,
decreasing use of siderails, and
recommendations for avoiding entrapment.
Instead of the same exposed, hard bolsters others use, its raised
perimeter features a tissue-friendly Geo-Matt surface from edge to edge.
Boasting all the key benefits of the Max, Plus, and Pro, Geo-Mattress
with Wings means safety for your residents - and their skin!
Weight limit: 400 lbs.
Warranty: 5 years, non-prorated
Average mattress weight: 24 lbs.
Resilience
The ability of foam to recover from compression. Increased resilience yields
a foam with a greater lifespan.
The Science Behind the Geo-Matt Design
 This patented
support surface design was developed by Span-America in the late
1980’s in conjunction with Dr. Thomas Krouskop of the Baylor
School of Medicine. Computer-guided equipment is used to cut
foam into a geometric pattern of supportive cubes that are
undercut with an open channel.
Unlike flat or convoluted ("eggcrate") foam, these individual
cubes allow the surface to conform to the body and accommodate
bony prominences, redistributing
pressure across the support surface. This
minimizes the pulling of the skin and tissue over bony
prominences, thereby offsetting the harmful effects of
shearing forces.
The “Ring of Air” helps to disperse heat and
moisture away from the body and out into the
atmosphere. The channel also assists in pressure management
by providing, in effect, a layer of air between two layers
of foam to enhance conformance of the foam to the body.
Does it work? In a two-year independent study*, 83
patients at risk for, or with, pressure ulcers were
randomized to either the Geo-Matt or an air-suspension bed.
Results: an analysis of covariance revealed no
statistically significant difference in the prevention
or healing of any stage pressure ulcer with respect to type
of support surface used.
Based on its clinical efficacy as an overlay surface,
Span-America has incorporated the design into the
surface of the majority of its mattress, seat cushion,
and patient positioning products.
