Abstract
Pressure ulcer prevention and treatment are major issues in health care, with new products flooding the market constantly. This article presents the results of a clinical investigation of four pressure-reducing mattresses and a foam overlay used in five different nursing units (neurology, oncology, respiratory, medical/surgical intensive care, and cardiovascular surgery). A total of 246 patients were evaluated on the trial mattresses and 46 were evaluated on the foam overlay.
