How to care for pressure ulcers
Stage I or II sores usually heal with careful care. Stage III and IV ulcers are more difficult to treat and can take a long time to heal. Here’s how to care for pressure ulcers at home.
Use special pillows, foam pads or mattresses to reduce pressure. Some pads are filled with water or air to help support and cushion the area. Which type of cushion you use depends on your wound and whether you are in bed or in a wheelchair.
Change locations frequently. If you are in a wheelchair, try changing your position every 15 minutes. If you are in bed, you should move about every 2 hours. For people who must stay in bed, a hospital bed with a suitable mattress is safer and more comfortable than a traditional mattress.
Hospital mattress manufacturers use different materials in their products. These materials are similar to those found in traditional mattresses and include:
Foam
built-in spring
Air
gel
Hospital mattresses also need to be waterproof, antimicrobial and easy to clean. These features ensure that the mattress meets medical-grade hygiene standards.
An alternating air mattress is a special type of medical air mattress that contains air cells that are constantly inflated and deflated to relieve pressure points and promote better circulation.
