NCT ID NCT07213739
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This lab study tests a new mattress system that uses air pressure and gentle pulsations to reduce the risk of bedsores. Twenty healthy adults will lie on the mattress for extended periods while researchers measure pressure on the skin, blood flow, and comfort. The goal is to see if the mattress can effectively relieve pressure without needing nurses to manually reposition patients.
