Lateral pressure equalisation as a principle for designing support surfaces to prevent deep tissue pressure ulcers

When immobile or neuropathic patients are supported by beds or chairs, their soft tissues undergo deformations that can cause pressure ulcers. Current support surfaces that redistribute under-body pressures at vulnerable body sites have not succeeded in reducing pressure ulcer prevalence. Here we sh...
