Pressure-relieving equipment: criteria and selection

Abstract
The selection of equipment for pressure sore prevention and management is extremely complex, with many variables to consider. There is a considerable lack of data to support the use of individual pieces of equipment, and so additional criteria need to be considered. A logical approach, taking into account the objectives of treatment, the modality of action, and the resources available, enables an optimal choice to be reached which should satisfy both the patient and the staff involved.
