SPA2-ARSFT-DUO: Comparison of 2 Mattresses for the Prevention of Bedsores by Measuring Skin Pressure in the Sacral Area
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The main objective of this study is to compare the AIRSOFT DUO and the SENTRY 1200 constant pressure mattresses in terms of peak skin pressures measured at the sacral area.

N/A |
Detailed Description
The secondary objectives of the study are to compare the two devices in terms of:
- body contact surface area. B. peak pressure at the heel area (combining right and left heels) C. occurrence of pressure ulcers anywhere on the body for 1 month D. patient comfort rated at 1 month (visual analog scale varying from 0-10) E. noise (Likert Scale). F. sleep quality (visual analog scale varying from 0-10).

Experimental: Airsoft Duo First Patients randomized to this arm will be placed on an AIRSOFT DUO mattress for day 0. They will then be switched to a SENTRY 1200 mattress until the end of month 1. Intervention: AIRSOFT DUO for 1 day Intervention: SENTRY 1200 for 1 month |
Device: AIRSOFT DUO for 1 day
The patient is placed on an AIRSOFT DUO mattress for 1 day.
Device: SENTRY 1200 for 1 month
The patient is placed on a SENTRY 1200 mattress for 1 month.
