To help prevent tissue breakdown, use solutions for pressure distribution, offloading and skin care based on the patient’s risk level and and care setting.

  • Allow early detection and intervention – Mobility tracking and clinical decision support tools to help prevent tissue breakdown and timely repositioning
  • Minimise mechanical stress and shear – Advanced foam dressings to redistribute frictional forces and reduce tissue deformation
  • Preserve skin integrity – Moisture-balancing technologies to help protect against maceration or inflammation
  • Support continuity across care settings – Portable and protective solutions to help the transition from hospital to home
