Span America

The Risk Manager is engineered from elastomeric gel compound commonly used in expensive orthotics and premium footwear.

Effective offloading is essential for the care of the bony prominence in the heel – one of long-term care’s vulnerable tissue sites.   In addition to fully offloading both heels, the Span-America Heel Manager’s gentle slope aids in circulation - key for patients with diabetes, neu­ropathy, and peripheral vascular disease.  The 30 percent larger, tissue-friendly, dual layer design with ultra-high per­formance foam supports the calves with new levels of comfort and stability.

Floats heel, supporting foot in the neutral position while preventing external rotation. Well-ventilated boot is easy to use and apply. Square base provides stability.

Span-America makes a wide variety of positioners for positioning and protection of the head and body.

Span-America introduced Span+Aids®, the industry's first-ever line of patient positioners that are specific to certain body sites.

Provides positioning and pressure reduction with proven Geo-Matt® design. Raised front (4") slopes to 2" at back to help hold user's hips toward back of seat. Cut from the same premium, high density foam as the Geo-Matt® PRT cushion. Cover accommodates optional Sling-Fill Base.

Proven Geo-Matt® design, plus pelvic "bucketing", contoured leg channels, and center abductor for excellent patient positioning. All models are encased in a wipe-clean Durafilm™ incontinence-proof coating. Cover accommodates optional Sling-Fill Base. Total cushion height 3.5".

Modeled after the company’s original Isch-Dish®, Span-America’s new EZ-Dish™ pressure relief cushion provides a simpler, non-fitted seating solution for those at high risk for pressure ulcers at the ischium or coccyx.
