Pressure Injury Prevention during the pandemic: Prone Positioning Pressure Injury Prevention during the pandemic: Prone Positioning Preventing pressure injury while prone positioning patients. Prone position for prolonged periods of time places the patients at significant risk of complications including pressure injury. To mitigate this risk, selecting the right support surfaces to support pressure redistribution and targeted pressure offloading is key. Pressure injuries are

Built on a sequential (multi-chamber bladder) compression philosophy,Flowtron Tri Pulse is a premium garment range designed for optimal anatomical fit and enhanced patient comfort

The International Pressure Ulcer Prevention and Management Guidelines discuss how managing microclimate can provide an environment conducive to injury prevention and tissue repair. As such the guidelines recommend the need for additional features such as the ability to control moisture and temperature when selecting a support surface.

Built on a uniform (single-chamber bladder) compression philosophy, Flowtron DVT is an extensive range of foot, calf and thigh garments addressing a wide variety of clinical needs and patient types

Empowering movement is fundamental to any patient rehabilitation programme and is a core principle in the prevention of pressure injury development. With the impact of the current pandemic, the focus on mobilising and rehabilitating patients earlier and often throughout the day has never been higher.

Reduced mobility is a significant risk factor for pressure injury development, international guidelines emphasise the need for regular turning and repositioning of patients to help prevent skin damage¹. While a pressure redistribution mattress may enable the repositioning regimen to be individualised, regular postural change is still important but not without risk to the patient or caregiver.

Prone positioning - Literature & Evidence | Arjo Prone positioning, literature and evidence. Current literature and research to support prone positioning. Ensuring the most efficient and effective care.

Air-assisted lateral transfer devices such as AirPal are designed to assist with the transfer of patients who are unable to independently move from one surface to another and reposition within the bed.
