Berthe, J. V.; Bustillo, A.; Melot, C.; de Fontaine, S.: Does a Foamy-Block Mattress System Prevent Pressure Sores ? A Prospective Randomised Clinical Trial in 1729 Patients. I: Acta Chir Belg., 2007(107), s. 155-161.Language: EngelskSummary: The study was designed to determine the effectiveness in pressure-sore prevention of an interface pressure-decreasing mattress, the Kliniplot mattress. In a prospective randomised controlled 7-month clinical trial the Kliniplot mattress was compared with a standard hospital mattress in 1729 patients admitted to medical and surgical departments. Two groups (Klinipot mattress and standard hospital mattress) were monitored for the prevention of pressure sores. Results : 3.2% nursed on the Kliniplot mattress, and 1.9% on the standard mattress developed bed-sores. Conclusions: The results show that the occurrence of pressure sores is not reduced but is delayed when patients are nursed on a Kliniplot pressure-decreasing mattress.
