Pressure injuries<\/a>, also known as pressure ulcers, are localised areas of damage to the skin or underlying tissues associated with pressure alone or in combination with shear forces.<\/p>\n\n In patients with reduced mobility, certain areas, such as the heels, elbows and sacral region, may be exposed to pressure for prolonged periods.<\/p>\n\n Patient positioning helps change the points of support, promotes a comfortable posture and complements measures to prevent pressure injuries.<\/p>\n\n The key is to tailor postural care to each patient rather than apply the same approach to everyone.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n Repositioning bedbound patients is an important measure for preventing pressure injuries, as it changes the points of support and reduces prolonged pressure on certain areas of the body.<\/p>\n\n Repositioning plans should be tailored to each patient\u2019s individual needs, taking account of their mobility, clinical condition, skin condition and the support surfaces used. Particular attention should be paid to vulnerable areas such as the heels, elbows and sacral region, redistributing pressure and relieving pressure points where indicated.<\/p>\n\n During patient handling, dragging movements that may cause friction and shear forces should be avoided. Suitable assistive products can make positioning easier and help maintain a stable, comfortable posture.<\/p>\n\n For patients who are seated, body alignment, the distribution of support and their ability to change position must also be assessed.The frequency of repositioning should be determined individually through professional assessment and reviewed in line with the patient\u2019s clinical progress and tolerance.<\/p>\n\n Positioning cushions, anatomically shaped protectors and other support surfaces<\/a> can complement postural care for patients with limited mobility.<\/p>\n\n Depending on their design and intended purpose, these products can help to:<\/p>\n\n The choice of product should take account of the patient\u2019s characteristics, the area requiring protection and the specific indications for each device.Assistive products do not replace risk assessment, skin monitoring or repositioning when indicated.<\/p>\n\n At Medicare System, we develop solutions that help healthcare professionals meet patients\u2019 positioning, protection and comfort needs.<\/p>\n\n The SALVAPAD\u00ae range includes anatomically shaped cushions and protectors intended for the care of people who are bedbound or have reduced mobility.<\/p>\n\n Products in the range include:<\/p>\n\n This variety allows different options to be considered according to the area of the body, support requirements and the technical specifications of each product.<\/p>\n\n Choosing a positioning product starts with one essential question: what does the patient need, and which area needs protection or support?<\/p>\n\n It is important to consider the patient\u2019s mobility, the areas exposed to pressure, how long they remain in one position and the characteristics of the care environment. The dimensions, materials, instructions for use and maintenance requirements of each product should also be reviewed.<\/p>\n\n At Medicare System, we offer a range of SALVAPAD\u00ae solutions to meet these needs, giving healthcare professionals and equipment managers access to technical information to help them assess each device.<\/p>\n\nHow should bedbound patients be repositioned?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n
