The basis of design
Pressure Ulcers (bed sores) are injuries commonly sustained in patient populations as a byproduct of the body remaining in the same position over an extended period of time.
It is estimated that 2.5 million people in the United States alone suffer from this problem and pressure ulcers are cited as the second most common diagnosis in healthcare insurance claims.
Over the course of one year, hospitals will pay over $26.8B due to pressure ulcers alone.
This results in over 60,000 patient deaths annually….
Why does patient turning matter?
Pressure Ulcer Locations
Among bedrest patients, the most common areas for pressure ulcers to develop are:
Ischium (28%), greater trochanter (19%), and sacrum (17%)
Among acutely treated patients, (patients who lie on their backs):
Sacral region (36%), foot region (30%), and ischium, greater trochanter, or malleolus region (6%).
