Preventing Pressure Sores

If someone remains sedentary or in the same position for a long period of time, pressure can build up which causes the skin and the tissue below it to become damaged. Pressure ulcers are common for those who cannot or struggle to move as there is no way to relieve the pressure.

Pressure Care Products from NRS

Preventing pressure sores is far more effective than treating them. Preventing pressure sores causes the patient far less pain and discomfort and allows them to live without distress. If a pressure ulcer does occur, treatment can be very intensive and can require specialist equipment; such as an alternating pressure mattress or cushion. If left untreated, pressure sores can become infected and be fatal, and can even cause death. Preventing pressure sores is easy with the range of pressure care products available from NRS.
