Outcome measures

Reduction of pressure ulcers on the new system with 30%.
Secondary outcome
Reduction of superficial pressure ulcers related to transfers, reduction of total cost prevention.
Background summary
12 nursing homes in a radius of 40 km around Etten-Leur (The Netherlands) are approached to participate. For each center between 8 and max 40 clients are included.
Study objective
Prevention of pressure ulcers is a major challenge since there is still an unacceptably high number of clients in nursing homes, care homes and residential care centers where pressure ulcers arise after intake of new residents.
The study involves a comparison of a newly developed system which consists of in-use CE-marked equipment parts on a standard visco-elastic foam mattress vs a visco-elastic foam mattress of the same quality for the prevention of pressure ulcers, which can occur while lying on a mattress or bed, or while traveling in/out of bed.
Study design
Pressure ulcer category 1, 2, 3 or 4 according to definitions Richtlijn preventie van decubitus V&VN 2009
Timepoints:13 (1 intake, 1x per week, during 12 weeks)
Intervention
About half the population will receive a visco-elastic foam mattress and the other part the same type of mattress with the Bedcare Plus system on top of it.
