 Pressure ulcers
are significant and growing problems for patients in confinement to bed
or a chair, being unable to move, losing of bowel or bladder control,
having poor nutrition, or with lowered mental awareness. Anyone who
must stay in a bed, chair, or wheelchair because of illness or injury
can get pressure ulcers. A pressure ulcer, sometimes called “bed
scores”, is an injury usually caused by unrelieved pressure that
damages the skin and underlying tissue by squeezing tiny blood vessels
which supply the skin with nutrients and oxygen. Pressure ulcers lead
to pain, a long stay in the hospital or nursing home and slower
recovery from health problems – therefore increase the cost and
decrease the quality of care.
Pressure relief and low air loss
technologies are known to be effective in healing and preventing these
wounds and make care giving tasks significantly easier. At uCan Health,
we offer a wide selection of air flotation beds to fit a variety budgets and applications, and
the common thread of superior outcomes. These systems are designed for
the prevention and treatment of stage I – IV pressure ulcers. It
is a physician's responsibility to determine which one is needed. If
