A Simple Way To Prevent and Treat Pressure Ulcers

Dr. Aletha Tippett, MD

Dramatic sustained reductions in pressure ulcer occurrence were achieved with use of static air support surfaces in apopulation of frail elderly. Equally dramatic treatment and healing of pressure ulcers in this population were achieved with the combined use of static air support surfaces and a medicated hydrogel dressing. These simple yet effective solutions should be examined more thoroughly in other settings.  .
