Pressure relief and patient positionerscubitus Pressure
Points
Decubitus or Bedsores, more
properly known as pressure ulcers
or decubitius ulcers, are lesions
caused by many factors such as:
unrelieved pressure, friction, humidity,
shearing forces, temperature,
age, continence and medication,
to any part of the body, especially
portions over bony or cartilaginous
areas such as sacrum, elbows,
knees, ankles etc.
Although easily prevented and
completely treatable it found early,
bedsores are often fatal – even
under the auspices of medical
– and are one of leading iatrogenic
causes of death reported in
developed countries, second only
to adverse drug reactions.
In the first instance a decubitus
ulcer means racking pains for the
patient. On the other hand for the
health care system the treatment
expenses are a heavy burden in
the billions from an economic point
of view.
Those impact could be simply
avoided or rather significantly
minimized by prevention.
Our cushions and pads are offering
an optimum protection, which
is very important for the patient’s
recovering beside said prevention.
