WHAT DOES LOW RISK MEAN?

‘Risk’ relates to the likelihood of developing a pressure injury. You can determine the risk of your client by conducting a risk assessment – using a risk assessment tool such as the Waterlow along with qualified clinical judgment and knowledge of the client’s history and underlying condition.

Individuals with risk of obtaining a pressure injury should not use a low risk device. Low risk devices should be as a preventative measure for low care application.

On the Waterlow Risk Assessment Tool, typically clients who score up to 10 are suitable for one of the mattresses within the Low Care Medical Mattress range.

RISKS OF SEATING

According to the Prevention and Treatment of Pressure Injuries: Clinical Practice Guideline, The International Guideline 2019, When an individual is seated, their body weight is supported by a relatively small surface area (i.e., buttocks, thighs, and feet), leading to relatively high interface pressures combined with limited opportunities to redistribute body weight to other anatomical sites.

Prolonged sitting results in a strong predisposition to pressure injury development, particular In the ischial area. Select a seat and seating cushions/support surfaces according to the individual’s need for pressure redistribution with consideration to the body size and configuration, effects of posture and deformity on pressure redistribution, and mobility and lifestyle needs.

For a cushion to achieve pressure redistribution it must have the capability to immerse and envelop or deform around the contour of the body. Sonnet cushions utilise Airoform Immersion technology to deflect and deform to immerse the buttocks.

HYGIENIC

An external device such as a cushion must meet all the same inflection control standards as a support surface. Forté Sonnet Pressure Care Cushions have high frequency welded seams (as opposed to sewn) and are wipe-clean and waterproof to meet infection control requirements for the facility environment. Welded seams prevent seepage of fluid through open, absorbent sewn seams.

In addition to the cover, foams used by Forté for the Sonnet Pressure Care Cushions are specifically formulated for use within high humidity applications, typical within Hospital applications. ‘Humidity’ treatment ensures that the structural integrity of the foams remains within conditions that would otherwise have a significant degrading effect on foam performance. It also ensures postural support is maintained for comfort and prevents excessive pressure forces because of foam collapse. It is crucial to pressure injury prevention that the foam maintains its support to prevent a ‘bottoming out’ effect and ensure immersion and envelopment. Foams are also treated with Eversheild Anti-Microbial protection to prevent the growth of mould and bacteria. Maintaining healthy conditions within the foams reduces risk of infection control, cross patient contamination and mould.
