Treat and Prevent Pressure Ulcers with the Dolphin SystemTM .
CT Scan Advantages
CT Scans allow us to see how the subcutaneous tissue is compressed within the body. It is not only important to have surface pressure be at or below 32mm Hg, but it is also important to have vascular flow throughout the compressed area. Pressure wounds start at he bone and expand outward in a wedge amplification effect. Theoretically, if vascular flow can be maintained at the bone level, than the risk for a pressure ulcer should be minimized.
The CT Scan Study
Two CT Scans were taken of the same individual. One scan was on a Visco-Elastic pad, the other is on the 900T Dolphin OR Pad.
