Body & Foot Pressure Offloading to Prevent Ulcers

Pressure offloading is essential in footwear, seating, and bedding to prevent pressure ulcers from forming. When skin or body tissue is subjected to sustained body pressure that is too high, it can cause localized ischemia—reduced blood flow to tissues. For people who sit or lie down for long...
