Effectiveness of mattress overlays in reducing interface pressures during recumbency.
This study evaluates the pressure-reduction characteristics of seven mattress overlays. Thirty subjects were evaluated on each support surface to determine the interface pressures that are generated under the most common pressure sore sites. The results of this study indicate that there is great variability in the effectiveness of traditional mattress overlays. The most effective overlays are t...

15 صفحه اولFactors affecting the pressure-distributing properties of foam mattress overlays.
A universal concern of those in nursing care is the occurrence of decubitus ulcers. To minimize this problem foam overlays are routinely used on hospital beds throughout the country. This study was undertaken to develop laboratory testing procedures which will reliably predict the support characteristics of mattress overlays in clinical service. Initially, test methods based on constant load an...
متن کاملPreventing pressure sores in elderly patients: a comparison of seven mattress overlays.
Long-term elderly patients at risk of pressure sores as shown by superficial skin breaks in the pressure areas were randomly allocated to seven low-priced mattress overlays, alternating pressure (AP): Large Cell Ripplebed; constant low pressure (CLP): Preventix, a 'Groove' prototype, Modular Propad (contoured foam); Ardo Watersoft; Spenco, Surgicgoods Hollowcore Mattress Pad (fibrefills). Asses...
