Pressure relief devices are used to prevent pressure ulcers as well as to support the treatment for pressure ulcers for bedridden patients. Pressure ulcers develop at various bony sites on the body such as back, hip, shoulder blades, lower back tailbone, heels, ankles, and skin behind the knees. Pressure ulcer is a localized injury of the skin and underlying tissue resulting from an external mechanical load by the body, applied to soft biological tissues. Body pressure has been recognized as the most important extrinsic factor involved in the development of pressure ulcers. Pressure ulcer can be classified as non-blanchable erythema (stage I), abrasion or a blister (stage II), superficial ulcer (stage III) and deep ulcer (Stage IV). Pressure relief devices include mattress, beds,splint, heel trough, pressure relief chairs, etc. Pressure relief devices are used to prevent the development of pressure ulcers. The devices used include mattresses, beds, pressure relief chairs,etc. These devices work by reducing or redistributing pressure, friction. Selection of a device may depend on factors such as mobility of the individual, the results of skin assessment, the level of and site at risk, staff availability, weight and the general health and condition of the individual.
