1.1 General information

Essential nursing care is pivotal in pressure ulcer prevention. These
mattresses will positively contribute to the outcome of a pressure
ulcer prevention care plan.
Education, clinical judgement and action based planning based on vulne-
rability are fundamental factors in prevention of pressure ulcers.
A range of assessment scales can be used as a formal method of
assessing risk from pressure ulcer development, and should be used in
conjunction with an informal assessment (informed nursing judgement).
Informal assessment is considered to be of greater importance and
clinical value.
Please heed all the notes, particularly the safety information, and act
accordingly.
Should you require more information on the Invacare
range please refer to the Invacare
on the back page of this User Manual.
