REFLUX
Acid reflux occurs when the sphincter muscle at the lower end of your esophagus isn’t working as it should, allowing stomach acid to back up into your esophagus. This can cause heartburn and other signs and symptoms.
Often nighttime can be the most disturbing and uncomfortable time with reflux. Raising your chest and head above the level of your waist using a Reflux wedge stops stomach acid from travelling up towards your throat.
The most common cause of Reflux is food that’s acidic or high in fat—like citrus fruits, tomatoes, onions, chocolate, coffee, cheese, and peppermint. Spicy foods or large meals can also be the root of distress. Other sources of heartburn include aspirin or ibuprofen, as well as some sedatives and blood pressure medications.
HYGIENIC
An external device such as a Reflux Wedge must meet all the same inflection control standards as a support surface. Forté Sonnet Pressure Relieving Devices 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 Relieving Devices 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.
