Dermisplus Prevent is a range of tri-block polymer gel pressure redistribution pads designed to help reduce the risk of pressure damage as part of a pressure area care strategy
Reducing Pressure, Reducing Risk, Reducing Costs
Preventing and managing pressure damage can be complicated, time-consuming and a drain on clinical resources. The use of medical devices can also be a source of potential pressure damage. It is estimated that it costs the NHS £3.8m per day to treat the 700,000 people developing a pressure ulcer each year (NHS Improvement 2016).
To help care providers in the prevention and management of Category 1 pressure damage, Dermisplus Prevent is a new range of pressure redistribution pads designed to help reduce the risk of pressure damage as part of a pressure area care strategy. They are proven to produce lower peak pressures than competitor product and can provide cost savings of up to 18%.
HOW DOES DERMISPLUS PREVENT WORK?
Dermisplus Prevent redistributes peak pressures over a wider surface area so reducing the risk of pressure related tissue damage.
It can be used anywhere on the body which is identified as being ‘at risk’, especially where there are bony prominences for example, on heels, elbows and sacral areas but also under medical devices such as, medical tubing, mask straps and other equipment.
DERMISPLUS PREVENT OFFERS A 10% REDUCTION IN PEAK PRESSURES
The results of comparative testing of Dermisplus Prevent sheets in comparison to Aderma dermal pads, found that Dermisplus Prevent offers on average a 10% better peak pressure redistribution – so providing more effective pressure redistribution and helping to protect your patients from pressure damage.
DERMISPLUS PREVENT HELPING TO REDUCE COSTS
Using Dermisplus Prevent could reduce spend on pressure redistribution pads by up to 22% versus competitor products and so helping to reduce the financial burden associated with pressure ulcer prevention and management.
