Mattress showdown: which one fights bedsores better?

NCT ID NCT01402765

Summary

This study compared two types of anti-bedsore mattresses to see which one does a better job of spreading out pressure on a patient's skin. Researchers measured how much time the pressure stayed at safe levels on the lower back and buttocks of 31 bedridden patients. The goal was to find which mattress is more effective at preventing painful and dangerous pressure sores.
