TAKE ACTION TO PREVENT PRESSURE INJURIES

 

Pediatrics

 

Pediatric surgical patients are vulnerable to pressure ulcers (PU).  Our pediatric pads and positioners are designed for even the smallest of patients. Our soft polymer with a flexible film can accommodate those patients with fragile skin integrity.

The ultra-soft polymer combined with the soft, flexible surface of our pads allows the product to move with the patient, reducing negative effects of shear on fragile skin. In addition, the Akton® polymer distributes weight and dissipates heat; lowering the risk of high-pressure points and hot spot development that can lead to pressure injuries. These combined benefits enhance patient protection.

Our reusable Overlays are impervious to fluids and do not support bacterial growth. They will not leak or flow if punctured and are easy to clean and maintain.
