Unique Reactive Surface Features for Acute Care Environment

Span-America’s new Geo-Mattress® UltraMax™ with design advantages – inside and out

Innovative design sets UltraMax™ apart from typical reactive surfaces and enables it to exceed even the most rigorous requirements of the acute health care setting.

Also see the Geo-Mattress® UltraMax™ for Stretchers, a premium pressure redistribution support surface with many UltraMax™ features.

On the inside:

• 3-Dimensional Zoning™ core design 
  • UltraMax™ is built for extreme comfort with 3-Dimensional Zoning™ core design providing anatomically- calibrated levels of support and immersion throughout the surface.
• Robust Ultra High Performance Foam Seat Section
• UHP 500 Foam – Specially made for UltraMax™
  • Repeated head of bed elevating and the patient’s concentrated weight combine to expose the seat section to the highest level of mechanical fatigue. UltraMax™ distinguishes itself by offering unmatched protection from “bottoming out”. A unique cellular structure gives UHP 500 a combination of resiliency, recovery and comfort not achievable with any of the foams commonly used in medical support surfaces.

And on the outside:

• The UltraMax™ bi-directional stretch cover with Shear Transfer Zones™
  • Beyond its Geo-Matt® segmented top surface, the UltraMax™ provides an additional measure of shearing protection in the form of the silicone-coated, shear minimizing fabric bands located on the underside of its bi-directional stretch cover.
  • This Shear Transfer Zone™ design helps:
    • Prevent heels, sacrum, and scapula from “digging into” surface
    • “Glide” user back to original position following HOB elevation
    • Protect against damaging effects of micro shear, macro shear, and rotational (pivot-induced) shear
    • Provide patient stability by transferring shear to more shear-tolerant anchor point
• 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.
