Abstract

A new type of weight-bearing pad for bed-fast patients was evaluated during its use in the ward. It was found to be comfortable, easily cleaned and easily handled. Initial observations on nine patients suggested that the microcellular sponge pad helped to prevent the progress of pressure sores even when the patient's general state pointed to a likely deterioration in the lesion.
