Abstract
- Reviewed is a new lying-down support which is developed and designed in order to prevent decubitus. The new design is based upon the new anti-decubitus theory about tissue deformation: the principle of minimal deformation of the supported body-tissues. Reviewed are the main problems of decubitus prevention in the lying situation. A comprehensive explanation of the operation of the new lying-down support is given. Attention is paid to the anti-decubitus quality, the users-friendliness for medical attendants, nursing attendants and the patient himself, the maintenance-friendliness and the cost-price. User-aspects, safety-aspects and the cost-factor are discussed in detail.
