of hospital-acquired pressure ulcers may be associated with respiratory devices*
Yet healthcare professionals are still manually cutting generic dressings and relying on wraps that slide out of place.
ICU nurses spend valuable time cutting dressings for each patient
Manual sizing and placement leads to poor protection
Manual cutting creates waste and increases supply costs
Affects hospital ratings and patient satisfaction
Every day, patients using CPAP masks, NIV masks, and nasal cannulas may develop pressure ulcers on their cheeks, ears, and nose bridge. These injuries can:
Extend hospital stays
Increase treatment costs
Cause patient discomfort
Impact hospital quality ratings
Create liability concerns
