Abstract (en)
The anti-decubitus mattress for the prevention and treatment of pressure sores - in particular in the sacral region - in patients confined to a lying position involves a turning movement in the longitudinal axis of the lying patient by means of alternate inflation of two air chamber systems situated to the right and left of the centre of the body, this giving rise to a frequent to-and-fro movement of the main loading zones of the supporting tissue areas. <IMAGE>
