The Invacare®CareGuard™8000 is a full-depth (8") powered alternating pressure air mattress
replacement system which reduces interface pressure for the treatment of Stage I to Stage
IV pressure ulcers. The CareGuard 8000 reduces interface pressures below capillary closure
through the design of 20 individual 8-inch air cell bladders that alternate every four minutes. The power
unit control combines simplified operations with effective results.

In alternating mode, the Invacare APM’s 20 adjacent air cells
alternately inflate and deflate at 8-minutes interval, which
redistributes the pressure against the skin to promote capillary
circulation.
