FAQ ABOUT BEDSORE PREVENTION
Who should use bedsore prevention products?
They are commonly used by:

- Home care and long-term care patients

What causes bedsores?
Bedsores develop when continuous pressure reduces blood flow to the skin and underlying tissue. They typically form on areas such as the hips, tailbone, heels, and elbows.
How do alternating pressure systems help prevent bedsores?
Alternating pressure systems use air cells that inflate and deflate in cycles. This process regularly redistributes pressure across the body, helping improve circulation and reduce prolonged pressure on any one area.
Do pressure-relief products replace repositioning?
Even when using alternating pressure systems or positioning pillows, regular repositioning is still recommended as part of proper pressure-ulcer prevention care.
