Patients at high risk of developing pressure ulcers require a support surface that reduces interface pressures.
The MAT 10 is an entry level support surface intended for those at risk of developing pressure ulcers. Zonal castellation’s assist with pressure redistribution over bony prominences. The cover is
vapour permeable, waterproof & multi-stretch.
*Drive DeVilbiss Healthcare follow the NICE Clinical Guidance (CG179, Published April 2014) when indicating product risk factors.
At Risk
Adults considered to be at risk of developing a pressure ulcer are those who, after assessment using clinical judgement and/or a validated risk assessment tool (these include The Braden Scale, The Waterlow Score or The Norton Risk-Assessment Scale), are considered to be at risk of developing a pressure ulcer.
At High Risk
Adults considered to be at high risk of developing a pressure ulcer will usually have multiple risk factors (for example, significantly limited mobility, nutritional deficiency, inability to reposition themselves, significant
cognitive impairment) identified during risk assessment with or without a validated risk assessment tool
