Minimising peak pressure increases patient comfort and reduces the risk of pressure ulcers. Castellated visco-elastic foam delivers a high degree of pressure reduction as it conforms to the shape of the body. Smaller castellation’s at the heel and shoulders improve redistribution of pressure over bony prominences.
The Memaflex high density visco-elastic support surface offers zonal pressure redistribution to reduce peak pressure. Welded seams and a covered zip reduces the risk of fluid ingress.
*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.
