Abstract: Pressure injuries (PI) cost the American healthcare system 16 billion dollars annually and increase morbidity and mortality. An estimated 2.5 million hospitalized patients devel...
The aim of this study was to measure and compare 2 different OR surfaces in both the supine with bent knees position and the supine in lithotomy position. The authors sought to identify the most effective pressure redistribution surface in...

A novel device that objectively alerts clinicians to such inflammatory events at specific anatomical areas of a patient’s body at increased risk for developing pressure damage is availabl...
This study estimates health care resource utilization in the early initiation of clostridial collagenase ointment vs late initiation of clostridial collagenase ointment in stage 3 and 4 pressure ulcers and diabetic foot ulcers in the United...

The authors hypothesize that guideline-based, weekly coordinated care using specialized wound care surgeon-led bedside teams (SLBTs) may improve PU time-to-heal (TTH) outcomes when compared with usual care (UC).
