FAQ ABOUT BEDSORE PREVENTION
Who should use bedsore prevention products?
They are commonly used by:
- People with limited mobility
- Bedridden or wheelchair-bound individuals
- Elderly patients
- Post-surgery patients
- Home care and long-term care patients
Anyone who remains in one position for extended periods may benefit from pressure-relief support.
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.
Risk factors include immobility, poor circulation, and fragile skin.
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.
