WARNINGS, PRECAUTIONS FOR USE, MEASURES REQUIRED
P
RECAUTIONS FOR USE
Patient with bone and/or muscle and/or skin trauma to the pelvic region and thigh in contact. Seating instability.
A bedsore is a lesion of varying depth on the skin, associated with excessive and prolonged compression of tissue between the body and a support
surface. This excessive pressure can prevent blood circulation and lead to pressure ulcers, a dangerous lesion because it develops from the inside of the
body to the outside, and is therefore initially invisible. A pressure sore can have several forms: a simple persistent rash for more than a day, hardening of
the skin, a wound of varying depth that can in severe cases affect muscles or underlying bone.
