During sitting, it has been estimated that as much as 75% of body weight is taken through the pelvis area, which can lead to significant pressure damage in the sacral area.1
Seating equipment facilitates biological functions and is able to provide adequate pressure redistribution to vulnerable areas.2
Prevasse® is an aid in the prevention of pressure ulceration for all patients including those assessed as high risk, and for the treatment of existing category 1 and 2 pressure ulcers.
Clinical supervision is advised if damage is severe.
