Using conformational positioning to reduce hospital-acquired pressure ulcers.

Mary R Brennan1, Donna Laconti, Renee Gilchrist.   

Abstract

Prevention of pressure ulcers is an ongoing concern. This article reports on the evaluation and usage of a new positioning device that adapts to the contours of the body and led to a decrease in the incidence of nosocomial pressure ulcers in a cardiothoracic intensive care unit.
