Description
The Problem: Pressure Ulcers
Pressure ulcer prevention presents an important challenge for both acute and community care settings. It is estimated that each year around 700,000 people are affected by pressure ulcers in the UK (NHS ‘stop the pressure’; statistics from the NHS patient safety thermometer).
Annual prevalence surveys from UK hospitals reveal that up to one quarter of all pressure ulcers were located on the heel (Pressure-relieving devices for treating heel pressure ulcers (review). E McGinnis, N Stubbs. 2014).
