Heal & Prevent Bedsores
Skin Breakdown:
Bed sores are a very real and painful complication for those who are bedridden. These pressure ulcers develop when an area of the body is pressed against a hard surface for too long. The weight of the body cuts off circulation to the area, causing the tissues to break down and form an open sore. And it doesn't take long for these sores to develop.
For the disabled and bedridden, pressure reduction is essential to preventing the development of bed sores. Low air loss mattresses, lateral rotation mattresses, and alternating pressure mattresses are all designed to reduce the amount of pressure on the body and help prevent sores from forming.
