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%.
