A patient with a high risk of developing pressure injuries requires higher care along with powered surfaces that can provide Low Air Loss. For instances where powered surfaces are not a possibility, we recommend surfaces that provide Constant Low Pressure with Low Air Loss.
See surfaces for high risk Braden ScalePatients who are considered at moderate risk require a higher level of care. In turn, we suggest surfaces of Constant Low Pressure with Low Air Loss or Alternating Pressure with Low Air Loss.
See surfaces for moderate risk Braden ScaleFor patients that have a lower risk of developing pressure injuries, we recommend using non-powered Constant Low Pressure (CLP) surfaces made of different materials such as gel, foam and other viscoelastic materials.
