The concept of pressure ulcers 1. Pressure sores, also known as pressure ulcers, commonly known as bedsores.

Stage III and IV ulcers are more difficult to treat and can take a long time to heal. Here's how to care for pressure ulcers at home. Use special pillows, foam pads or mattresses to reduce pressure. Some pads are filled with water or air to help support and cushion the area. Which type of cushion you use depends on your wound and whether you are in bed or in a wheelchair. Change locations frequently. If you are in a wheelchair, try changing your position every 15 minutes. If you are in bed, you should move about every 2 hours. For people who must stay in bed, a hospital bed with a suitable mattress is safer and more comfortable than a traditional mattress. Hospital mattress manufacturers use different materials in their products. These materials are similar to those found in traditional mattresses and include: Foam built-in spring Air gel Hospital mattresses also need to be waterproof, antimicrobial and easy to clean. These features ensure that the mattress meets medical-grade hygiene standards. An alternating air mattress is a special type of medical air mattress that contains air cells that are constantly inflated and deflated to relieve pressure points and promote better circulation.

Bed sores are divided into four stages. Stage 1. The area looks red and feels warm. Phase 2. The area looks more damaged and may have open sores, abrasions, or blisters. Phase 3. This area has a crater-like appearance due to damage below the surface of the skin. Stage 4. The area is severely damaged and there is a large wound. How do bedsores form? When patients in nursing homes are still in the same posture, they may begin to develop bedsores within two to three hours. Within a day, these ulcers can become a serious health risk. Bed sores may occur on the bed or wheelchair. In order to prevent the patient's skin from rupturing due to low blood flow, medical air cushions use alternating pressure and low air loss therapy to stimulate circulation in the patient's body. The mattress cover is filled with air and consists of multiple cylinders placed parallel to each other. Anti-decubitus mattresses are designed to relieve bedsores and ulcers caused by prolonged bed rest. Equipped with 130 independent heat-sealed bubbles, which can achieve uniform weight distribution and excellent support. Designed to be placed on ordinary mattresses. Airflow mattresses and alternating pressure mattresses release and redistribute pressure through the dynamic lying surface. Inflated airbags provide pressure to support users, while deflated airbags provide relief to the skin above them.
