Pressure Care Mattresses for Homecare in Australia

Icare Medical Group Australia

The position of the patient dictates where they will most likely get the sore. Even though some patients have limited mobility it is still very important to check these areas on a daily basis and give them pressure care [washing of the area with warm water, drying by dabbing, and gently massaging the area with a baby lotion to restore circulation] on the areas that are showing signs of pressure at least 4 hourly but preferably 2 hourly.

The science of pressure care management has advanced greatly in the recent years. With the advent of modern materials and technology special bedding has been developed that mitigates the causes of pressure ulcers. These are known as "Pressure Reducing Mattresses." There are two types; Dynamic and Static. Static pressure reducing mattresses are made of specially developed foam materials that are designed to minimize the effects of pressure by distributing the pressure over greater area and thus reduce the possibility of ulcer development. This works by allowing the mattress to form to the shape of the patient's body, whether lying on the back or side, thus relieving the main source of pressure points.
