INTRODUCTION

Pressure injuries are defined as localized injuries of the skin and/or underlying tissue over a bony prominence as a result of pressure or pressure in combination with shear.1 Support surfaces or specialized mattress systems are used as part of an overall, multi-disciplinary, multi-dimensional care plan intended to prevent and treat pressure injuries.
The Lateral Rotation mattress replacement is a high quality, combination therapy active system that is specifically designed for the prevention and treatment of pressure injuries, while optimizing patient comfo

Indications for Use

Note

Effective pressure redistribution therapy, wound management and device selection should be based on the patient’s specific clinical condition and complete assessment of needs, recognizing that pressure prevention devices are only one component of a comprehensive pressure injury management program. Support surfaces are not substitutes for turning, repositioning or functional weight shifts by caregivers.
The Lateral Rotation system is intended for:

1. Pressure redistribution for individuals with but not limited to the following conditions:

• At risk for or present pressure injuries
• Pulmonary complications
• Neurological conditions
• Amputations
• Grafts
• Burns
• Dermatological conditions
• Flaps
• Rehabilitation needs
• Pain management as prescribed by a physician.

2. Shear & Friction Reduction: Friction is defined as the resistance to motion in a parallel direction relative to the common boundary of two surfaces. For patients this can occur when their skin rubs against another surface.
   Shear (or shear stress) is the force per unit area exerted parallel to the perpendicular plane of interest. Shear strain occurs when skin is distorted or deformed as a result of shear stress.

INTRODUCTION

3. Spinal Cord Injury:
   The Lateral Rotation system can be used for patient’s with spinal cord injury once the acute injury has been stabilized and these patients have been assessed and cleared by the appropriate clinician.
   These instructions and recommendations are in accordance with the 2019 Clinical Practice Guidelines of the National Pressure Injury Advisory Panel (NPIAP), the European Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel (EPUAP)
   and the Pan Pacific Pressure Injury Alliance (PPPIA).

Pressure range selection (+/-)

Users can adjust the pressure level of the air mattress, using the (+) and (-) buttons, to a desired firmness based on personal comfort or weight setting.

PATIENT POSITIONING AND COMFORT

Hand Check Procedure:

A suitable way to verify that the patient is not bottoming out is to perform a hand check as described below:

1.  Ensure that the patient is lying supine (on his/her back) in the middle of the mattress.
2. Place a hand with four (4) fingers stacked vertically beneath the air cell directly underneath the sacral region.
3. Ensure that the 4 fingers can slide with minimal resistance between the patients’ sacral region and the lower portion of the mattress.
4.  Adjust the comfort setting as needs.
5. Wait for the mattress to adjust to the selected range.
6. Revaluate with the hand check and adjust to patients’ comfort level

Recommended Linen:

Drive DeVilbiss Healthcare bed support surfaces are designed to be used with appropriate linens. Deep pocketed fitted or flat sheets are recommended. Multiple layering of linens or underpads beneath the
patient should be avoided, when possible, for the prevention and treatment of pressure injuries.

Incontinence

Moisture against the skin surface is an extrinsic risk factor for acquiring a pressure injury as it weakens the skin tissue leading to maceration. To protect skin integrity, incontinence barrier pads may be used to absorb excess moisture.

Warning

Specialty active and reactive support surfaces are designed to redistribute pressure and reduce shearing/ friction forces against the patients’skin. Patient migration is possible due to the nature of these products.
Always ensure the patient is positioned properly within the confines of the bed and specialty system.
