Preventing Pressure Injuries with the Domus 4 Mattress: Real-World Study Results
Pressure injuries (PIs) remain a significant concern in healthcare settings, especially for patients at medium to high risk. However, new evidence highlights the effectiveness of using Powered Alternating Pressure Air Mattresses (P-APAM), like Wellell’s Domus 4, in reducing the occurrence of PIs.
A recent real-world study, published in the Journal of Wound, Ostomy, and Continence Nursing, followed 86 patients over a 35-day period. These patients were classified as having a medium to high risk for PIs and spent over 15 hours a day on a P-APAM. The results were astounding:
- Zero Pressure Injuries: None of the patients developed any stage 2 or higher PIs during the study (Incidence = 0%).
- High Comfort and Satisfaction: 77.9% of patients rated the mattress’s comfort as satisfactory or very satisfactory. Caregivers also reported ease of use and maintenance.
- Quiet and Stable: Patients appreciated the low noise level, with 100% satisfaction for quietness and mattress stability.
This study demonstrates that Domus 4, combined with proper prevention protocols, significantly reduces the risk of pressure injuries while ensuring comfort and safety for both patients and caregivers.
If you’re looking for a reliable solution to support patient care and prevent pressure injuries, the Domus 4 is the answer.
