Innovative air mattress for the prevention of pressure ulcers in neonates
Our results demonstrated that air mattresses achieved lower interface pressures compared to conventional support surfaces, and that the benefit of the air mattresses depended on their filling status. The importance of using innovative, segmented designs that were tailored to meet the specific needs of highly vulnerable paediatric patients was demonstrated.
