Novel Support Surface to Alleviate Pressure Ulcer

NCT04251897 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 10

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

A prototype support surface has been designed which aims to successfully redistributes the pressures exerted and provides sufficient support to human soft tissue

We want to prove the effectiveness of the prototype support surface by enlisting patients in a clinical trial, where we will assess the presence of pressure ulcers, and the ability of the patients to tolerate the support surface, and also measure the pressure over time and compare them to when the patients are using standard mattresses.

Conditions

  • Immobility Syndrome
  • Pressure Ulcer
  • Pressure Injury

Interventions

DEVICE

Novel support surface

This is a magnetorheological elastomer that can dynamically redistribute the pressure over a bony prominence to be lower than the critical closing pressure while at the same time providing sufficient support.
