Recommended Linen:
Drive DeVilbiss Healthcare bed support surfaces are designed to be used with appropriate linens. Deep
pocketed tted or at sheets are recommended. Multiple layering of linens or underpads beneath the
patient should be avoided, when possible, for the prevention and treatment of pressure injuries.
Incontinence
Moisture against the skin surface is an extrinsic risk factor for acquiring a pressure injury as it weakens
the skin tissue leading to maceration. To protect skin integrity, incontinence barrier pads may be used to
absorb excess moisture.
Warning
Specialty active and reactive support surfaces are designed to redistribute pressure and reduce shearing/
friction forces against the patients’skin. Patient migration is possible due to the nature of these products.
Always ensure the patient is positioned properly within the connes of the bed and specialty system.
Note
It is important to follow these procedures before using the system or between patient use.
