Comparing the Effects of Three Different Dressings on the Cutaneous Response to Pressure and Shear of Sacral Skin: an Exploratory Crossover Study
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating No dressing, Mepilex® Border Sacrum, and 2 other interventions for Pressure Ulcer Prevention. Completed, enrolled 12 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Skin functional parameters such as erythema or stratum corneum hydration have been successfully used in PU prevention research. These parameters are able to discriminate effects of different loading intensities and to measure PU preventive device performance. The overall aim of this study is to measure the effects of Mepilex® Border Sacrum Dressing on the skin structure and function during mechanical loading compared to (1) no dressing, (2) ALLEVYN Life Sacrum Dressing and (3) Optifoam® Gentle Liquitrap Sacrum Dressing.
