Abstract
It is recognized that pressure-reducing foam mattresses can be of benefit in the prevention of pressure sores but it is also recognized that more information is required to demonstrate their long-term efficacy (Cullum et al, 1995). It is therefore necessary to evaluate the pressure-reducing capabilities of this type of mattress some years after purchase to evaluate if in fact it can maintain its initial level of performance. This article presents the results of one such study carried out 4 years after the purchase of Transfoam mattresses.Keywords
